What it is

The SIT 0.290.174 thermocouple is a Johnson & Starley spare, manufacturer part number 1000-0703870, used across the Hispec and Jb25PB warm air unit ranges. It sits in the pilot flame assembly and generates the small voltage that holds the gas valve open while the pilot is lit. When the thermocouple fails, the pilot will not stay alight once the control knob is released.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • The pilot goes out as soon as the gas control knob is released.
  • The pilot lights but will not hold, requiring repeated attempts to establish a flame.
  • The appliance locks out or shuts down intermittently during operation.
  • The pilot flame is established but the burner will not fire.
  • The thermocouple probe shows sooting, corrosion or damage at the tip.

Before you order

  • Confirm your appliance model against the fitment list above.
  • Check the thermocouple reference on the existing part against SIT 0.290.174.
  • Some listed models are propane variants, so confirm the fuel type of your appliance.
  • Gas work must be carried out by a competent Gas Safe registered engineer.
