Pros & Cons
Pros
Teflon wires and metal shields made for simple installation in my gas fireplace. A few caveats for the diy. This uses a thermopile to run the heater's simple electronics.
Cons
Product is a pos. Cannot thread the nut into the housing. This is a low priced item with low quality performance.
Thermopile does not produce enough volts to light the main burner of my hot water heater. Only generates mid 300s vs advertised 750. Actual voltage is 500mv in open circuit, and barely 400mv once connected to the gas valve.
Highlights
Quality
A quality part that is easy to install
As long as you understand how the system works youll be fine
Installation was awful but that is the fault of the furnace design has nothing to do with the thermopile itself

Price
I love the cost and easy installation
A very good product at a very good price
Packaging/appearance
I did need to reuse the original brass nut because mine used a lefthanded thread
Competitiveness
It went from a thermopile low voltage to sensor failure in a couple days
Apparently the old thermopile burned out and did not generate enough voltage to open the main gas valve
Namely the correct terminology is that this is a thermopile rather than a thermocouple per se
We have a whirlpool water heater from lowes 10yr warranty model that had an error code in yr 11
