The Brivis thermocouple with clip is a component commonly used in gas heaters, particularly in pilot light assemblies. The thermocouple is a safety device that detects whether the pilot light is lit. If the pilot light goes out, the thermocouple stops generating a small electric current, which in turn shuts off the gas valve to prevent gas leaks.
Thermocouple Function: Generates a small voltage when heated by the pilot flame, which keeps the gas valve open.
Clip Attachment: The clip ensures the thermocouple is securely positioned in the pilot flame for accurate detection.
Safety Feature: Essential for preventing gas leaks by shutting off the gas supply if the pilot light is extinguished.
Brivis Gas Heaters: Used in various Brivis gas heating systems to ensure safe operation.
Pilot Light Systems: Found in systems that use a standing pilot light to ignite the main burner.
If your Brivis heater is not staying lit or the pilot light keeps going out, the thermocouple might be faulty and need replacement. When replacing, ensure you get the correct model compatible with your Brivis heater.
Turn Off Gas Supply: Always turn off the gas supply before working on the heater.
Remove Old Thermocouple: Unscrew the old thermocouple from the gas valve and remove it from the clip.
Install New Thermocouple: Position the new thermocouple in the clip and screw it into the gas valve.
Check Pilot Light: Relight the pilot light and ensure the thermocouple is properly positioned in the flame.
If you're not comfortable working with gas appliances, it's best to contact a licensed technician to replace the thermocouple.
