Precisely engineered to meet the critical safety requirements of UL 1278, this Cone Probe replicates the exact dimensions specified in Figure 10.1 of the standard. It is the definitive tool for evaluating whether heating elements and associated high-temperature components in movable and wall/ceiling-hung electric room heaters are adequately guarded. Constructed with a durable stainless steel probe body and an ergonomic nylon handle, this gauge ensures reliable and repeatable testing for manufacturers and certification labs. Its specific geometry (69.9mm diameter base, 139.7mm height) is mandated to simulate potential contact hazards.
Standard Compliance: UL 1278, "Movable and Wall-or Ceiling-Hung Electric Room Heaters", Figure 10.1
Probe Material: High-Quality Stainless Steel (Corrosion Resistant, Durable)
Handle Material: Robust Nylon (Insulating, Comfortable Grip)
Base Diameter: Precisely 69.9 mm (2-3/4 inches)
Overall Height (Altitude): Precisely 139.7 mm (5-1/2 inches)
Shape: Right-Circular Cone
This Cone Probe is mandatory for conducting the critical safety test defined in UL 1278 Section 10 ("Guards"). Its sole purpose is to verify that the guarding around heating elements and element assemblies (including supports, sheaths, brackets, etc.) is effective. Specifically, when inserted into any opening in the heater guard or enclosure:
Prevent Contact: The probe must not be able to touch any live heating element or any other part operating at hazardous temperatures.
Ensure Safety: This test directly ensures protection for both people (against burns or electric shock) and flammable materials (against ignition by contact with hot surfaces).
Exact Compliance: Manufactured to the precise dimensions (69.9mm dia, 139.7mm ht) mandated by UL 1278 Figure 10.1, guaranteeing test validity.
Durable Construction: Stainless steel probe ensures longevity and resistance to deformation during repeated use. Nylon handle provides insulation and operator comfort.
Critical Safety Testing: The indispensable tool for verifying essential guarding requirements in UL 1278, mitigating fire and burn risks.
Quality Assurance: Enables manufacturers to self-verify product safety design before certification or production.
Certification Support: Essential equipment for testing laboratories performing UL 1278 compliance evaluations on room heaters.
Simple & Definitive Use: Provides a clear, objective pass/fail criterion for the guarding effectiveness test.
Global Recognition: Supports compliance with a key North American safety standard for electric heaters.
Ensure your movable or wall/ceiling-hung electric room heaters meet the stringent safety requirements of UL 1278. Our probe is meticulously crafted to the exact Figure 10.1 specifications, providing you with a reliable, durable, and compliant testing tool essential for product safety verification, quality control, and successful certification. Guarantee the protection of users and property from contact with high-temperature components.
