Product Overview

The Robertshaw RX-24-48 is a millivolt-type control thermostat for commercial gas fryers and ovens. It operates within a temperature range of 93C to 185C (199F to 365F), featuring a 48 inch capillary for flexible installation in larger or more complex equipment configurations. Fitted with a 3/8 inch NPT stuffing gland, this thermostat uses a rugged hydraulic snap-acting mechanism to interrupt gas flow to the burner when the set temperature is reached. Its extended capillary length makes it suitable for equipment where the thermostat body sits further from the tank.

Signs You Need To Replace This Part

• Equipment will not reach or hold the set operating temperature
• Burner runs continuously and temperature overshoots the dial position
• Visible kinking or leaking in the capillary tube
• Thermostat dial is stiff, seized, or responds erratically

Why the 48 Inch Capillary Matters

The RX-24-48 uses a 48 inch (1219mm) capillary rather than the standard 36 inch length found on most Robertshaw RX series thermostats. This extended length is required on larger floor-standing fryer configurations where the thermostat body mounts further from the oil tank. Always measure the existing capillary before ordering — fitting a 36 inch capillary where a 48 inch is needed will result in a capillary that is too short to reach without kinking, which leads to premature failure and potential oil leaks.

Installation Notes

Drain and cool the equipment completely. Route the 48 inch capillary with a generous service loop to prevent stress at the connections. Thread the 3/8 inch NPT gland and tighten fully once the bulb is correctly positioned. Test for leaks before firing. Gas Safe registered engineer installation is recommended for all commercial gas catering equipment repairs.
