This page answers one question for buyers, maintenance technicians and parts distributors: can 00-348361-00001 be used in place of 00-348361-00001 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.

| KitchenRestock listing for 00-348361-00001 (distributor wording, not OEM) | “Fenwal T'Stat, Melt W/Wire Leads, 2Ea. 1/4" F Push-On, Temp 75-550, Mount 1/2 Npt, Probe = 4-3/4"” | The OEM-side number is a Fenwal melt thermostat with wire leads, a 1/2 NPT mount and a 4-3/4 in probe. | KitchenRestock |
| PizzaOvens listing for the same Hobart number (distributor wording, not OEM) | “Fenwal T'Stat, Melt W/Wire Leads, 2Ea. 1/4" F Push-On, Temp 75-550, Mount 1/2 Npt, Probe = 4-3/4"” | Two independent distributors publish the same physical specification — the part is identified by its probe and mount, not by the brand on the box. | PizzaOvens |
| HowdyBrewer listing for the aftermarket Fenwal (distributor wording, not OEM) | “Fenwal Thermostat with 75° - 550° Range for Frymaster – Replaces Frymaster 8060181” | The aftermarket unit is sold against a Frymaster cross-reference with the same 75-550 F range — same control, different badge and a different price. | HowdyBrewer |
