BASIC INSTALLATION & OPERATION

Burner/Manifold Door Assembly: The burner/manifold assembly consists of several components such as: main burner, burner orifice, manifold tube, pilot burner, pilot orifice, pilot tube, igniter, and thermocouple. See the figure below for the complete list of components.

The pilot burner remains on once it is manually lit. When incoming cold water activates the thermostat, gas flows to the main burner. The pilot flame ignites this gas. The main flame burns until the tank reaches set temperature then the thermostat interrupts this main gas flow.

As the thermocouple gets hotter, it generates a small

electrical current to the bottom of the gas control valve/

 

thermostat. This current powers the electromagnet

and holds open the main gas interrupter as long as the

voltage for a properly working thermocouple is between

 

20 and 30 mv. DANGER! If the pilot is extinguished,
