GP 100680 Thermosensor – 1/2″ NPT, 190°F Temperature Relief Sensor
Model: 100680
Category: Pumps → Pump Accessories → Thermal Relief Valves
Type: Thermosensor / Thermal Relief Valve – 190°F, Genuine OEM General Pump
The GP 100680 Thermosensor is a genuine OEM General Pump thermal relief valve designed to protect pressure washer pumps from damaging heat buildup during bypass operation. When a system runs in bypass, water temperature can rise rapidly inside the pump—this thermosensor automatically opens at a preset temperature to discharge a small amount of heated fluid.
How It Works
-
Pump enters bypass mode → internal temperature increases
-
At 190°F, the thermosensor opens
-
Heated water is discharged through the bleed port
-
Cooler water enters the pump and reduces temperature
-
Valve closes automatically when normal flow resumes
