What it is
A nickel-plated gas pilot thermocouple with an M8 threaded connector, sold as the natural-gas replacement thermocouple for Valor's Unigas-pilot gas fire range. It generates a small voltage from pilot flame heat to hold the flame-failure device open, cutting gas supply if the pilot goes out.
Signs this part needs replacing
- Pilot light won't stay alight, or takes several attempts to hold in
- Fire locks out and needs the ignition sequence repeated more often
- The flame-failure device trips as soon as the control knob is released
- Visible corrosion, discolouration or a kinked probe on the existing thermocouple
Before you order
- Match the full part number printed on the thermocouple you are removing
- Confirm your fire is the natural gas (not LPG) version before ordering the NP/NG variant
- Isolate the gas supply and have a Gas Safe registered engineer carry out the replacement
