Imperial 1176 Fryer Thermostat Knob 2-1/4" Dia 400°F-200°F

A fryer thermostat control knob used for adjusting cooking temperatures in commercial fryer systems, this component provides a direct manual interface for setting heat levels between 200°F and 400°F. It helps operators regulate oil temperature through the fryer’s thermostat system, supporting controlled heating output during frying cycles and everyday kitchen operation. Designed with a 2-1/4" diameter and .187" flat-down shaft fit, the knob includes clear printed temperature markings for quick reading during use. It is commonly installed in commercial fryer setups where precise heat adjustment is required across different cooking demands. When the original knob becomes faded, loose, or hard to operate, replacing it helps restore proper temperature adjustment and improves basic control during routine equipment use.
