Thermocouple Probe (8-Gauge)

This heavy-duty 8-gauge Type K thermocouple is designed for larger kilns and digital controllers with 2.5" or 3" bricks. It accurately senses the kiln’s internal temperature and transmits the signal to the controller for precise firing control.

• Compatible with many kiln models—verify before ordering
• Durable design, typically lasts for years
• Failure often occurs inside ceramic insulators due to deterioration
• Oval connecting block sold separately
• Clean connection points before installation for optimal performance

Regular maintenance ensures accuracy and extends the thermocouple’s lifespan.

• Before ordering, compare your current probe to ensure it matches this model.
  
• This thermocouple typically lasts for years but may fail due to deterioration inside and between the ceramic insulators.
  
• Even if the tip and tail appear fine, the internal components may be flaking or disintegrating.
  
• The oval block is sold separately and generally doesn’t need replacing as often as the probe.
  
• To ensure a clean connection, use fine sandpaper or a wire brush to clean the connection holes and thermocouple ends.
