Is there any video on how to replace a thermocouple on a gas fireplace
The thermocouple proves to the system that the pilot light is lit and the gas valve can safely open.
A thermocouple is a device used to sense the flame of a pilot light. IF the pilot light is not burning, the thermocouple does not permit the main flow of gas to the gas logs. Thermocouples DO wear out, are relatively cheap, and are made to be replaced.
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
the letter J..is...awesome!
The thermocouple tells the gas valve to supply gas to the burners. If the thermocouple is bad then the furnace will not work or the pilot will not stay lit. A properly working one will have a reading of at least 12 milliamps.
In terms of security, the thermocouple is an integral component of the furnace. A little flame that burns continuously is a thermocouple. It is frequently employed in gas furnaces that have standing pilots. In order to maintain a warm tip, the thermocouple's top is placed in the flame. When the pilot flame goes out, the thermocouple automatically shuts off the gas valve in the furnace. Thermocouples are used in everyday good ,electric power generator etc you can avail thermocouple for best price at partshnc website
modern heaters have a thermocouple that would shut off gas supply if the pilot goes out.
Check the thermocouple, or find a gas tech to do it.
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 thermocouple is two dissimilar pieces of metal inside a tiny metal bulb. When heated they then generate a tiny electrical charge that gives a signal to the gas regulator to keep the pilot on.
You could use a thermocouple.

control valvue ( relay ) internal on Gas control valvue is not switching, replace gas control valvue, By:Joe Draw1.com
Gas furnace have several safeties installed for your protection. If for some reason one of these safeties are not opening or closing the furnace will not fire. Most likely the pressure switch, high limit or transformer may be faulty. If it is an older model check the thermocouple.
The thermocouple keeps a gas pilot light burning.
Remove the pilot assembly from the furnace and clean it up. You need to be careful when putting it back on at the gas valve so as not to crossthread the screw. Take a thin wire and clean the pilot orifice, then use a brush or sandpaper on the thermocouple.
