Pilot flame too intense
It's wasting gas and killing thermocouples. Finally decided to
research this after another thermocouple died today after only two or three seasons. The boiler's manual shows a pilot flame profile but unfortunately I'm unable to view the actual flame from the side so I've adjusted the flame so that the thermocouple shows no signs of glowing red but is obviously hot enough to maintain pilot gas flow. Does this make sense? Thermocouple is centered properly and flame is hitting it in the right place. I could tell based on where started to glow first when lighting the pilot before it was adjusted. |
