Good Day

I have an older UNIQUE propane fridge, model # UGP-8c (it might also be a "Consul").

I broke the connector fitting that holds the end of the thermocouple to the gas safety valve. See the picture below.

Does anyone know where I can find the brass connector circled in red?

Unique no longer makes this part. They offer a replacement for the entire thermostat, but if I could find a generic brass replacement connector, it would be cheaper.

Thank you!

You will need to take it appart and go on a hunt to really find a universal fitting.

It may just be a compression fitting but wont know until its removed.

Other option is take it to a machine shop and have them make one. But it’s probably a generic fitting but it might be a hunt to find

Like so many things, especially old things, it is Disassemble And Inspect to determine a course forward

I was just recent looking for a part for my Unique fridge and I saw that https://www.thecabindepot.ca/ has Unique replacement parts. I can't quite tell from your picture but is this the right part?
