Why flame won't stay burning in gas fireplace?
Just a guess- but most have a sensor known as a thermocouple. This detects the heat of the flame of the pilot light, and keeps gas from flowing if the pilot light is not lit. check that your pilot light (a very small flame) is burning, and that the flame heats a small metal tube- about as big as a wooden match. If pilot is out, get it lit, and let burn for 5 minutes, and try lighting fireplace. If it still will not stay lit, the thermocouple may need replacement- they DO wear out. Check with your local gas appliance repair service. While they are fixing it, have them show you correct lighting process.
How does coal gas lighting work?
idk because no one cares about gas lighting and its stupid. YOU AINT KNO DAT!
Why do I smell gas when the pilot light is light on a gas heater?
because its leaking out gas
What is the thermo couling on a gas log insert?
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.
What does a thermocouple on a gas heater operate?
The thermocouple proves to the system that the pilot light is lit and the gas valve can safely open.
What would prevent a pilot from lighting at all on a gas water heater?
Disabling the ignition or disconnecting the gas source is a good start.
What is no match lighting in hot water heaters?

If you have a gas water heater and your pilot light will not light, the most common problem is a faulty thermcouple. A licensed plummer can easily and cheaply fix this or you can find information to do it yourself online.
If a pilot light goes out in a gas water heater does the gas keep running?
No because water heaters have a safety valves and when the pilot light goes out the safety valve shuts off the gas
What The Pilot ignites?
The pilot light is a small flame which stays on all the time (as in older water heaters for example). When the water temperature drops below the thermostat setting, the main heating gas is turned on and the pilot light ignites it. There are many other uses for pilot lights. To conserve gas, modern water heaters generate a spark to light the gas.

What is the problem if your gas fireplace does not come on even though the gas is working in the rest of the house and you hear a clicking sound?
To me it sounds like your pilot light on the fireplace is out. That could happen from a strong wind coming down the chimney or a strong breeze in the house from a fan. Check your pilot light and be sure to have the gas off before lighting the pilot light if it is out.
Why does your gas hot water pilot light keep going out?
Spillage
Why won't pool heater light when the pilot is on?
You may have a faulty thermostat that isn't closing when heat is called for. Also a faulty gas valve could be the problem. Also, be sure that the gas valve isn't in the "Pilot" position. This is the position you turn the gas valve to when lighting thepilot light. If your pilot light isn't staying on after being lit, then you may have a bad thermocouple.
