The Imperial 36015 griddle thermostat valve provides precise temperature control to maintain consistent cooking performance in commercial griddles. Designed with a 1/4" FPT inlet and 1/8" FPT outlet, it regulates gas flow based on heat demand, using a 24" capillary to sense surface temperature and adjust the valve accordingly. As the griddle heats or cools, the thermostat responds by modulating gas supply to stabilize the set temperature. This helps improve cooking accuracy, reduce energy waste, and support even heat distribution. Its durable construction and responsive operation make it a reliable component for maintaining efficient and controlled kitchen equipment performance. Fits Imperial: IHR Diamond, IR-36
