The pilot flame is/should be about 1.5" long, the diameter of a pencil. When the burners are going, the gas is shot into the burner manifold, and the gas sent to the burner is designed to go to the back of the heat exchanger. So, in a typical 80,000 input heater, about 14"-18" long.

How does a natural gas furnace work?
Natural gas furnaces work by combining natural gas with air and lighting it. This results in a flame that heats up the air and warms the rest of the house.
What is the difference between gas and natural gas and if your wall heater's pilot is too big maybe 8 how can you lower it to maybe 1?
In the United States their is only Natural Gas and Propane Gas. If you don't have a Propane Tank in your yard you have Natural Gas. If you have a propane gas furnace and want to change it to a Natural Gas furnace you have to have a heating/ac guy do it or you could burn your house down. The change in pilot size is directly proportional to the btu output of your furnace and is custom sized for each different make and model (1000's of different models in the US)
Is natural gas burning in a furnace a chemical change?
Yes, combustion of natural gas is a form of chemical change.
Can you convert an oil burning furnace to natural gas furnace?
Oil furnaces cannot be converted to gas - LP or natural - as they have totally different burners and have very different internal construction.
How do you convert a furnace to propane or natural gas?
Change out the gas flow orifice size to propane and adjust the gas valve.

What does a yellow flame indicate on a gas furnace?
its hot!
What kind of fuel does a natural gas furnace need?
Natural gas.
Where is the furnace pilot located?
The gas furnace pilot (flame is lit all the time) is sometimes referred to as a pilot light, but no matter what you call it, its purpose is to serve as a small ignition flame for the gas burner. And when this little flame fails to operate properly or go out, it's one of the most common reasons a gas furnace will fail to operate.
Seguence of operation for a direct ignition gas furnace?
If the furnace is direct ignition, The HSI or spark ignites the flame. A flame sensor passes current through the flame, if current is present the main.
what dose a yellow flame mean on a gas furnace?
Yellow flames from a natural gas furnace indicate that the combustion ratio is off and you have too much excess air in the mixture, if the discolored flame is isolated in the burner meaning on only 1 out of 3 or more then the burner/orifice may be out of alignment or there maybe a crack in the exchangers cell.
On a gas furnace what energizes the blower motor in heat mode?
flame sensor
How does a gas furnace pilot flame stay burning?
with gas? hence gas furnace? theres a gas pipe that puts the gas into 3-4 tube things tht keep lit by the gas bruhhh
Can you melt gold in a furnace?
You can melt gold with something as simple as a gas flame - you dont actually need a furnace. Gold melts at just over 1000 degrees Celsius (1064oC) - Most natural gas flames (from a bunsen burner for example) are much hotter than that.
