How is a BJ thermostat mounted to the equipment?

A BJ thermostat is specifically designed to provide accurate temperature control in gas appliances. The correct mounting method involves using a flanged bracket that screws into the gas manifold. This ensures that the thermostat is securely attached and positioned for optimal performance and safety.

Mounting the thermostat in this way allows for a stable connection that can withstand the vibrations and thermal changes within the cooking equipment. The use of a flanged bracket also ensures that the thermostat is properly aligned to accurately sense the temperature of the equipment, which is critical for effective operation.

Other methods, like using adhesive tape or a magnetic mount, would not provide the necessary stability or reliability for such a critical component in a gas system. Screwing directly into the equipment, while it might seem simple, could lead to structural weaknesses or damage to the equipment over time. Hence, the flanged bracket approach is preferred for its durability and efficacy.
