Item#: 1594
MPN: 1594

- Skutt Type-K Thermocouple 6", MI cable for Glass Kilns

* This is the same replacement part for Skutt kiln-mounted controllers with sheathed thermocouples purchased prior to Feb 2004.

- If you currently have a sheathed thermocouple, this is the most direct replacement. No kiln modification required.

** However, these thermocouples are considered unreliable when fired above 1800F. Purchase for use low-fire use only.

PDF - Installing a Type-K MI Cable Replacement Thermocouple
For a short period of time we used what is called a MI Cable Thermocouple. These look like little metal tubes and require a 1/4 inch hole in the brick as opposed to the 1/2 inch hole used by a Standard Type-K Thermocouple. We still use them on our glass kilns but we can no longer source ones that work well at ceramic temperatures. 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.
