Can I use the two-lead thermopile (00-410839-00004) instead of the coaxial one (00-348358-00001)?

This page answers one question for buyers, maintenance technicians and parts distributors: can 00-348358-00001 be used in place of 00-410839-00004 in a commercial fryer? It is a part-number comparison, not a sales page — nothing here is offered for sale and no price is quoted.

Source basis: Catalog strings and distributor listings for both numbers.. See Sources, method and reliability for what is verified and what is not.

Short answer: No. Both are 36 in, 250-750 mV thermopiles, and that is exactly why they get confused. The 00-348358-00001 is the coaxial type with a 3/8-32 thread; 00-410839-00004 is the two-lead type with a different terminal arrangement. Same length and same output voltage do not make them interchangeable.
