Description
The Rheem-Ruud SP6379M is an OEM replacement 19″ thermocouple engineered for use with Rheem and Ruud gas-fired heating appliances. Thermocouples are a critical safety component in gas heating systems — they sense the presence of a pilot flame and signal the gas valve to remain open, automatically shutting off gas flow if the pilot extinguishes to prevent dangerous gas buildup.
Product Overview
Designed as a direct OEM replacement for compatible Rheem and Ruud units, the SP6379M thermocouple ensures proper fit and reliable performance. Its 19″ lead length provides the flexibility needed to reach the gas valve connection from the pilot burner assembly without excessive slack or tension.
