How do you relight a natural gas pilot light?
All unvented gas logs must have a safety pilot. Also all vented gas logs that are for propane must have a safety pilot. Vented gas logs that use Natural gas do not require safety pilots as the pressure is half that of propane although I would still recommend safety pilots on all installs.
Also known as a thermocouple- device generates very small eletrical current from heat of the pilot light, which permits gas valve to open only when pilot light is lit.
No it shouldn't, There is a sensor that turns off the gas if the pilot flame goes out, The only way it would leak gas is if it as a faulty sensor, or a peice of depree gets in the gas line
Perhaps the pilot light is out and the gas has been turned off at the valve.
My direct vent furnace pilot light issue was the glass viewing port was missingallowing room air to blow out the pilot light. Replacing the missing glass which stopped the draft, fixed the problem.
There should be a sticker on the boiler or the gas valve telling you how to relight your particular model.
On a stove it will. On a modern, code-compliant water heater, space heater or furnace it will not, because these modern appliances have electric valves that will not open if the pilot flame goes out. Once the pilot is out, the only way to get gas to flow is to push the pilot button in on the gas valve and relight the pilot flame according to the instructions. You can check for gas leaking from the pilot burner or main burner by smelling for the scent of gas, as natural gas and LPG (propane) have an odorant added to allow you to detect their presence. (Do NOT use a flame or spark to test for the presence of gas!)
Simply put, no. Some gas stoves use an electrical system for ignition. Others have the typical pilot light that needs a real flame to manualy light it.
Your pilot light is most likely gone out.You can relight it yourself though this can be DANGEROUS.Lift up your stovetop and see if you have all four pilot lights.If you do this is not the problem.Keep that burner off because natural gas can be deadly and call a pro to fix it.
You should not be relighting the furnace, if your unit does not have an automatic ignitor you merely need to relight the pilot light and the instructions to do that specifically for your equipment can be found somewhere on the unit.

Turn the knob on the top of the gas valve to "Pilot" and hold it down. Put your match or lighter near the pilot and it should light. Continue holding the knob down for about 30 seconds then release, and the pilot should stay lit. If it goes out then you may need to replace the thermocouple (the gold color rod that the pilot flame burns on) or have the pilot cleaned if it has a yellow flame.
because its leaking out gas
When pilot light goes out, gas flows out of the pilot light nozzle. If out has continued for a long time, a gas cloud can develop around the furnace. When you go to light the pilot light, you'll ignite this gas cloud and make a big fire ball. If your basement is drafty, you might never get a huge cloud of gas hovering around your furnace. When you notice that your pilot light is out, you should shut off the gas to the furnace and allow any stray gas to dissipate before you turn the gas back on and light the pilot light. alliedallcityinc.com
I believe it is called the "pilot light"
