This page answers one question for buyers, maintenance technicians and parts distributors: can 00-419670-00001 be used in place of 00-414146-00002 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 from distributor listings for both part numbers, plus ITW/Vulcan parts manuals.. See Sources, method and reliability for what is verified and what is not.

| PartsFe listing for 00-419670-00001 (distributor wording, not OEM) | “Hi-Limit Type - Lc117 W/Auto Reset” | The LC117 side is stated as auto-reset. An auto-reset hi-limit closes again by itself once the bulb cools. | PartsFe |
| PartsFe listing for 00-414146-00002 (distributor wording, not OEM) | “Hi-Limit Type - Lch W/Manual Reset” | The LCH side is stated as manual reset — it stays open until someone presses the button, which is why it is fitted as a second hi-limit. | PartsFe |
| PartsFe, same two listings (set points and bulb) | “Temp 450 ... Bulb 1/4" X 4-7/8" Nickel ... Cap 30" / Temp 435 Fixed ... Bulb 1/4" X 4-7/8" Nickel ... Cap 24"” | Same bulb, different set point (450 vs 435 F) and different capillary length (30 vs 24 in) — they are not interchangeable by reset type alone. | PartsFe |
| Hobart, FORM 43124 Rev. A (February 2009), heating element assembly | “00-414146-00002 Thermostat Hi-Limit” | The OEM catalog lists the LCH on the element assembly with a quantity of 1 — the manual-reset device is the one the factory drawing carries. | Hobart FORM 43124 (PDF) |
