Uncle Harry’s

Trick of the Trade # 59

The tip of a thermocouple must be a

visible cherry red to operate correctly.

Any lower temperature will not work

reliably.

One universal U-line thermocouple will

fit just about any possible thermocouple

need. Also, cleaning of the pilot

assembly is a frequent cure.

Pilot Orifices

When you disassemble the pilot

assembly, you will find a tiny orifice at

the end of the small gas tube. Never try

to clean the orifice with a pin or other

sharp device. If you jab anything into

the pilot hole, you will create a much

larger flame or a ragged flame that will

quickly foul and create a callback.

Gentle cleaning is usually sufficient.

The aluminum tubes and brass pilot

fittings are fragile and needed to handled

with care.
