It senses heat and generates a tiny electric current that triggers a valve in the regulator.
How do you relight a natural gas pilot light?
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.
Most makers recommend that IF you shut down a pilot light for the summer, you have the system inspected and serviced before restarting. The pilot light also serves to drive off moisture from your controls during summer, preventing corrosion. See what YOUR manufacturer suggests.
There is a complete path for the electricity to flow. The opposite of an open circuit. If a light switch is on and the light comes on, the circuit is closed. If the switch is turned off, the light goes off because the circuit is open.
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.
You would need to purchase a duplex switch. As for the pilot light look for a duplex switch that has a neon pilot light that is incorporated into the handle of the switch. When the switch is turned on the switch's handle will illuminate.
the pilot light in my fireplace is working but when i turn the switch on (new switch) it wouldn't fire up
Unless the switch has a pilot light on it there is need for a neutral connection to the switch.
No it will not
Transmission Prssure Switch/Sensor -
Pilot light would work but the main burner would not as the thermocouple proves that there is a pilot light to fire. The main gas valve would not open
The detailed directions are printed on front of EVERY gas regulator. - However, in general terms, turn regulator switch to OFF for 2 minutes, then to PILOT and depress for one minute, then light pilot or press clicker till it lights. Keep PILOT pressed for 2 more minutes then slowly release it. If it stays on then turn main switch to RUN or ON. -If you have to light the pilot manually, use a barbecue match (12 inches long)
Flip the switch from off to on.

If the pilot must be lit manually, I use a barbecue match ( 12 inch long ) NOTE - If the pilot will NOT stay lit, then you need a new 'thermocouple'
go to the Help option in Matlab. It will not help at all.
A light switch and a computer are similar because they both work on the on/off concept.
