LIGHTING GAS PILOTS

Lighting Gas pilots on your heating systems, hot water tanks or stoves; which will at times go out and in using a match or a piece of paper to relight is very dangerous. Also, even your ovens that has gas pilots . Your hand can be severely burnt or blown off if there is too much gas exerted in in that small space and also due to the distance you have to reach lighting these gas pilots. These burners need oxygen for ignition, therefore a draft is presented which allow a surge of air being pulled towards the burner thus can cause an aggressive reaction. Follow this link below to get the right tool for lighting gas pilots.

Most of today’s gas appliances have electric starters, rather than gas pilots . But if your older appliances still sport flames, it’s helpful to know the process of lighting gas pilots should they ever go out. Keep reading for the steps to follow in lighting gas pilots in a furnace, water heater, oven, or stove. One caveat, however: If you detect the strong smell of natural gas, do not attempt to light the pilot. Instead, leave the house and call your local gas company or 911.

STEP 1: Remove the access panel.
Most water heaters have a small access panel covering the gas pilots’ light. Depending on your model, it might simply snap on and off, or you might need to use a screwdriver to remove the panel.
STEP 2: Turn the gas regulator valve to “Off.”
You’ll find a small gas regulator valve near the bottom of the water heater. Turn the valve to the “Off” position, and then wait for five minutes to allow any residual gas to clear from the pipe.
STEP 3: Turn the temperature down.
Near the gas regulator valve, you’ll find the temperature control valve. Turn it to the very lowest setting. On some water heaters, the lowest setting is labeled for gas pilots.
STEP 4: Assess the type of pilot ignition.
Some older water heaters require you to apply a flame in lighting gas pilots. In that case, you’ll want a butane barbecue lighter or fireplace match that’s long enough to reach the gas pilots without exposing your hand to the flame.
If your water heater is a little newer, look for a red button or switch near the regulator valve. The red button will be labeled “Pilot ignition” or something similar. If your water heater has an ignitor, you will not need to apply a separate flame.

STEP 5: Turn the gas regulator valve to the pilot position.
Switch your gas regulator valve from “Off” to “Pilot.”
STEP 6: Light the pilot light.
If your water heater is old-style, push down on the regulator valve, and then apply your lighter to the tip of the pilot’s valve. Do not release the regulator valve for a minute or so after you see the gas pilot light ignite. This gives the thermocouple time to kick in and sense that the gas pilot light is on.
If your water heater has an ignitor, press down simultaneously on the pilot valve and the red ignitor button. Continue to apply pressure until you see the gas pilot light ignite, and then for another minute or so to make sure it remains lit.
STEP 7: Turn your water heater back on.
Switch the gas regulator valve back to the “On” position, and reset the temperature valve to your desired setting. For safety, your water heater should never be set above 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
STEP 8: Replace the access panel.
Screw or snap the access panel back into place over the pilot light.
