What causes Grill pilot light on wolf salamamder grill to keep going out thermocouple ok valve new?

If a Salamander Grill keeps going out and the thermocouple is okay and the valve is new then a faulty thermostat could be the cause. Replacing the thermostat or re-calibrating it generally solves the issue.


What is the Pressure drop in glove valve?

You mean GLOBE valve and that would depend on the size of the valve and the maker


Which valve is the preferred valve to use as flow control valve at the pump discharge 8 inch size ball valve can be used for the same application?

I would use a butterfly valve to set the flow and a pitot tube to measure it. Nexus Valve makes a good one and it is price competetive as well.


Is gate valve used for throttling?

Never. Throttling will erode the valve seat and then the valve will never shut off completely.


What is Difference between relief valve and safety valve?

Relief valve always position in the suction line in oreder to relief the extra pressure, while safety valve is always placed at discharge line to release excess pressure.I would take that one step further by stating that a " RELIEF VALVE" is one that is "meant" to be lifted off its seat, as opposed to a "SAFETY RELIEF VALVE" which is not!DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RELIEF VALVE AND SAFETY VALVE:1. Releif valve is applicable in the fluid system.safety valve is applicable in the gaseous system.2.Relief valve opening is directly proportional to the pressure rise.Safety valve opening is will happen at after reaching the setpressure.3.Mode of relif vlave line is again connected to the suction.But in the safety valve is just vent-out there is no connection tosuction.

How can I replace a Honeywell thermocouple effectively?

To replace a Honeywell thermocouple effectively, follow these steps: Turn off the gas supply to the appliance. Remove the old thermocouple by unscrewing it from the gas valve. Install the new thermocouple by screwing it into the gas valve. Ensure it is securely attached and reassemble any parts that were removed. Turn on the gas supply and test the appliance to ensure it is working properly.


Where can one purchase a commercial Honeywell gas valve?

You can purchase a Honeywell gas valve from any good plumbers merchant on the high street. You can also go online to websites like ScrewFix or Amazon where they sell these.


What does a thermocouple on a gas heater operate?

A thermocouple on a gas heater operates by generating a small voltage when heated by the pilot flame. This voltage signals the gas valve to stay open, allowing gas to flow to the burner. If the pilot flame is extinguished, the lack of voltage from the thermocouple will cause the gas valve to shut off, preventing a gas leak.


What causes a gas hot water pilot lite to go out?

No, that is part of the function of the pilot light. To light the burner and to keep the gas valve open. The thermocouple sits in the flame of the pilot and produces a small electrical current that keep the gas valve open. When the tank cools down, the thermostat opens the valve to the burner so that it can light. When the pilot goes out, it is usually the thermocouple that is bad.


Why have both a thermopile and thermocouple?

A thermopile generates electricity from the heat of a pilot light. It generates about 750 mV that turns on the main gas valve to the fireplace.A thermocouple is heated by the pilot light but it uses pressure to hold the pilot light gas supply valve open. When the thermocouple is heated, pressure increases holding open the main gas valve. If it cools down, the pressure goes down and closes the gas valve.


Hot water heater pilot wont light?

THERMOCOUPLE or defective gas valve


Does the safety valve on a gas range opens when the thermocouple detects no pilot flame?

yes


How do I troubleshoot and replace a faulty thermocouple in a state select water heater?

To troubleshoot and replace a faulty thermocouple in a State Select water heater, follow these steps: Turn off the gas supply to the water heater. Locate the thermocouple near the pilot light assembly. Disconnect the thermocouple from the control valve. Remove the old thermocouple from the pilot assembly. Install the new thermocouple in the same position. Reconnect the thermocouple to the control valve. Turn on the gas supply and relight the pilot light. Test the water heater to ensure it is functioning properly. If you encounter any difficulties or are unsure about any step, consult a professional plumber for assistance.


How can I test a water heater thermocouple to ensure it is functioning properly?

To test a water heater thermocouple, you can use a multimeter to check for continuity. Disconnect the thermocouple from the control valve and set the multimeter to the resistance setting. Touch one probe to the tip of the thermocouple and the other probe to the base. If the multimeter shows a reading of around 25-35 millivolts, the thermocouple is functioning properly.


Your hot water heaters pilot light is on but the heater wont come on?

The thermocouple is bad. The thermocouple is the small metal tube that sits in the pilot light flame and runs to the control valve. The thermocouple generates a very small electrical current that keeps the gas valve open. They go bad regularly. **** I would have to say to check to make sure the valve is not in the "Pilot" position. If it is then turn it to the "On' position. If it still isn't working then you may have a bad Gas Control Valve. If the thermocouple was bad the pilot light would not stay lit. If the pilot light stay lit, it is doing what it is supossed to do.


Why does your thermocouple keep going out?

If the pilot flame is too high a thermocouples life could be shortened. Check the specs of the unit supplied by the gas valve for the working pilot pressure. Or put the gas valve in pilot and depress the pilot push button. Keep the button down with a small screwdriver, remove the thermocouple from the gas valve and check the millivolts on the thermocouple. Place one lead on the copper tubing and the other lead on the end of the thermocouple, the silver looking part that touches the inside of the gas valve. With the pilot flame on you should read anywhere from 22-29 millivolts. Anything below that is a sign that your thermocouple is failing. It might work for awhile, but it will probably go out in the middle of a long cold winter night. ;)


How does a thermocouple pilot light work in a gas appliance?

A thermocouple pilot light works by generating a small electric current when heated by the pilot flame in a gas appliance. This current keeps a valve open to allow gas to flow, maintaining the pilot light. If the pilot light goes out, the thermocouple cools down, causing the valve to close and prevent gas leaks.
