How do I light pilot light on furnace
A gas furnace pilot flame stays burning by receiving a constant flow of gas from the pilot light assembly. The pilot light assembly contains a thermocouple that detects the presence of the pilot flame. If the flame goes out, the thermocouple signals the gas valve to shut off, preventing any gas leaks.
At pilot light, pilot light flows around thermocouple.
No standing pilot, it is a spark ignition unit
Defective thermocouple or possibly a dirty or clogged pilot orifice.
There are 55,000 BTU in an intertherm furnace pilot light. It is a way of heating up a place.
When pilot light goes out, gas flows out of the pilot light nozzle. If out has continued for a long time, a gas cloud can develop around the furnace. When you go to light the pilot light, you'll ignite this gas cloud and make a big fire ball. If your basement is drafty, you might never get a huge cloud of gas hovering around your furnace. When you notice that your pilot light is out, you should shut off the gas to the furnace and allow any stray gas to dissipate before you turn the gas back on and light the pilot light. alliedallcityinc.com
There are several reasons why a pilot light could be going on. One reason is there could be a light breeze that is extinguishing the flame.
i have a model 125u19 payne furnace i move the thermostat but nothing comes on in the furnace and the pilot light is lit
Yes, a bad millivolt thermopile can cause the pilot light in a floor furnace to go out or not stay lit. The thermopile generates the voltage needed to keep the gas valve open and maintain the pilot light, so if it is faulty, the pilot light may not stay lit consistently.
No it will not
It protects the Pilot Light from being blown out
