Water Heater Pilot Assembely Includes Pilot Thermocouple and Tubing Natural Gas

In my case the pilot light needed a whole new fixture; i.e. both a new thermalcouple and gas-line with hood, designed and engineered to work together. Initially it seemed like more work to replace the fixture, but it made a big difference unless you are getting an exact thermal coupler replacement.Discussion: I went into this job filling-in for a lay HVAC and a real HVAC technician. The lay HVAC person, a friend of the renter, bought and installed a new thermal couple; to no avail. The renter then called in an HVAC technician who diagnosed a bad gas valve; replace for $800, and since the boiler is old, how about a new system while we are at it for $-ridiculous price. I'm the homeowners son-in-law, I was called in to help, simply as a DIY man. I tested the thermal couplers and both put out ~30 m-Volts, so I replaced the gas valve. This set up worked through the end of the season (2-months). The next season the pilot light was not staying lit. I readjusted the thermal coupler and the system worked for a month or two. Since over a full year had passed, I wondered about the gas valve going bad again, since the thermal couplers were giving pretty good 30 m-Volts reading on bench tests. I decided to buy the whole pilot light fixture as offered here, new hood and thermal-couple, designed and engineered for each other. Perhaps the old pilot-light gas line was plugged, though there seemed to be plenty of gas. The new system worked like a charm and I now suspect a new gas valve was never needed in the first place. That is, the new thermal coupler that the lay HVAC person bought was not an exact match for the fixture it was going into. I never saw the original hardware and alignment, so I was not aware they were so incompatible.

Nice product.... working well

This was a perfect fit to replace my old fireplaces thermocouple. Installs and gas leak testing took me 15 minutes. I didn't even have to wait 30 seconds or so to get the pilot going. 10 seconds and the fire was ROARING! Great value and prompt shipping!

Mounting Bracket may vary from actual application, may require slight modification, well priced

It did not fit the appliance properly.
