If you are replacing one of these on a ceramic kiln you will need to use the standard type k thermocouple instructions and drill out the thermocouple hole in the brick to accommodate the 1 2 inch thermocouple.
Thermocouple for ceramic kiln.
Often you will find thermocouples protected in a porcelain sleeve like on skutt kilns or in a tube as in the case of l l kilns.

Metal sheathed type k thermocouples.
A thermocouple is a component of the kiln used to read the temperature within the kiln chamber.
We still use them on our glass kilns but we can no longer source ones that work well at ceramic temperatures.
While type k thermocouples are all the same electrically the kiln manufacturers use different styles lengths diameters and also add mounting hardware for particular applications.
These have a metallic sheath on the outside of the thermocouple and are 1 4 od.
The length is determined by the thickness of a kiln s wall and the diameter is the insertion point of the thermocouple in your kiln.
The thickness of the wire is only important inside the kiln.
Please make sure you are buying the right one.
Therefore thermocouples are not plug in compatible interchangeable with one another.
