The thermocouple runs from the pilot light to the control valve. One end sits in the flame from the pilot light and the other is screwed into the bottom of the control valve. It is a copper colored wire/tube about twice the size of the lead in a pencil. It should be beside the larger tube that runs from the control valve to the burner. This is only on gas or propane heaters. They use the same type. Electric heaters do not have one.

A hot water tank works by storing and heating water inside an insulated tank using electricity or gas. When a hot water tap is turned on, the hot water is released from the tank and replaced by cold water that is then heated up for future use. This cycle continues to provide a steady supply of hot water for household needs.
