Water Heater Thermocouple - Voltage Test & Replacement | Repair & Replace

How do I install a new thermocouple? In this episode of Repair and Replace, Vance shows how to replace the thermocouple in a gas water heater. As well you'll learn how to test the thermocouple voltage to see if its functioning correctly. If the thermocouple is faulty then it will not produce enough voltage and will prevent the pilot from staying lit. Specifically this video focuses on a standing pilot water heater with a conventional gas valve.
