Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

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.

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
