Once the new thermocouple is installed, you will next reconnect the pilot, burner and thermocouple (and electronic igniter if electronic ignition) to the gas control valve as follows:
- Reconnect the burner supply tube, pilot supply tube and thermocouple to the gas control valve. The thermocouple should be no more than one quarter (1/4) turn beyond hand tight.
- If an electronic ignition, reconnect the Piezo igniter.
- Turn the gas supply back on and relight the pilot per the pilot lighting instructions. Turn gas valve to "ON" and set the thermostat to the desired temperature.
- Next, check the main supply tube and pilot supply tube at the gas control valve for gas leaks with a soap and water solution. Bubbles indicate a leak.
- Tighten all connections if a leak is found.
