Wall Heater Pilot Light Too High

If the flame appears to be too small or sputters on and off then the simple solution would be to adjust the size of the flame using a screw that you will see on the pilot light.

Wall heater pilot light too high.

The paint used at the factory is a specially formulated high heat powder coating which is baked on in our commercial. It 39 s been flickering like there is air in the lines and it won 39 t quot come down quot. You can t adjust the pilot flame on a water heater. The pilot light on our wall mounted propane heater is flickering and too high.

The exact location and type varies by manufacturer. If the flame is too strong and improperly adjusted it will be blue but may be noisy and lift off the thermocouple causing improper furnace operation. The heater won t operate properly if the pilot flickers is too weak or goes out and the cause could also be blockages in the pilot tube. Additionally the warning labels affixed to the heater will be destroyed.

So therefore we cannot get the panels to light. Step 3 turn that screw counter clockwise and the flame should grow. Another cause of a weak pilot is a faulty thermocouple. A proper pilot flame should be blue with a yellow tip and should be strong enough to cover about 1 2 inch at the end of the thermocouple tip.

The orifice size is usually stamped on the orifice somewhere. I am concerned about your drop out on the new valve of 8 that is too high and says you have a faulty magnet assembly in the new gas valve. It s possible the gas pressure is too high or the orifice in the pilot burner has a flaw. Thermocouple is too hot.

Most paints will flake off within a couple days of use and may even be toxic. There is no paint on the market that will withstand the high temperatures. We have a wall mounted propane heater. Is the pilot flame nice and blue or is it orange in colour.

If the pilot light goes out completely turn the pilot light control knob to the pilot position and push the knob in while lighting the pilot with a match or torch lighter. The pilot light flame should only touch the top 1 3 of the thermocouple. Continue to hold the knob in until you see that the pilot is staying lit. An orange flame may not be hot enough for the thermocouple to work properly.
