In most case it's easiest to remove it from the regulator first. Make sure gas is turned OFF then unscrew the small nut holding the thermocouple pipe to the regulator. ( often a 10mm wrench), next look in and see if it's screwed similarly to the pilot pipe, or on a clip. Undo as needed, now gently pullout the entire thermocouple. If you buy a Honeywell Universal thermocouple it has parts for all popular makes and full instructions (for less than $10)
What else can I help you with?
Are the line going to the thermal coupler and pilot light supposed to get hot?
is the lines on the thermal coupler and pilot light for a hot water heater supposed to get hot
Can you clean a pilot generator on a pool heater or do you just replace it?
replace it if you don't have the time to clean it.
Why is thermal switch often included on the control circuit for a glow-coil pilot burner ignition?
Thermal switch is to cut off the pilot ignition circuit when the heater temperature is beyond a set temperature. The thermal switch limits the temperature and protects the heaters

Why won't the water heater pilot light stay on?
The water heater pilot light may not stay on due to issues with the thermocouple, gas supply, or a dirty pilot light. It is important to check and potentially replace the thermocouple, ensure proper gas flow, and clean the pilot light to resolve the issue.
What does a pilot light do on a heater?
it heats up the thermo couple which opens up the gas control valve allowing gas to flow to the main burner. if the pilot goes out the thrmo couple will cool and shut the gas valve so gas does not come out
How can I replace a water heater gas valve?
To replace a water heater gas valve, first turn off the gas supply and water heater. Disconnect the gas line and pilot tube from the old valve. Remove the old valve and install the new one in its place. Reconnect the gas line and pilot tube, then turn the gas supply and water heater back on. Be sure to follow all safety precautions and manufacturer instructions.

Why does my Calor Gas heater not stay on the pilot light burns like its in a draft?
I need to replace the pilot light on a superserve calor gas fire as the flame is blue on the bottom and yellow at the top
Why does the water heater pilot go out?
The water heater pilot can go out due to issues such as a faulty thermocouple, a dirty pilot light, or a lack of gas supply.
How do I replace the thermocouple on a gas water heater?
To replace the thermocouple on a gas water heater, first turn off the gas supply and water heater. Locate the thermocouple near the pilot light and unscrew it from the control valve. Install the new thermocouple by screwing it into place and reassemble the water heater. Finally, turn the gas supply and water heater back on to test the new thermocouple.
Explain how a thermo couple divice work?
A thermocouple (or thermal couple) uses a principal called the Seebeck effect, where a voltage is generated in a conductor due to a temperature difference. Different metals generate different voltages, so by combining two different metals in the thermocouple, a voltage difference is generated between the leads of the thermocouple, proportional to the temperature difference. An example of one practical use of thermocouples is in controlling gas pilot lights: A "thermal couple" ( or "thermal coupling" ) is used to sustain a "pilot light" on a gas appliance e.g. a hot water boiler. The thermal couple is heated at one end by the pilot light and generates a small electrical charge that is passed down an internal copper filament to a valve in the gas supply. The valve remains open as long as the electrical current is present in order to supply gas to the pilot light. If the pilot light goes out or the thermal couple fails, the valve shuts off the gas. When you first light a pilot light, the thermal couple is usually heated by opening the gas supply by manually pressing a button and the gas ignited by means of say, a match. You maintain the gas supply by holding the button until the thermal couple heats up enough to generate the electrical charge that keeps the gas supply valve open to the pilot light.
