I always keep a new thermocouple somewhere near the unit so when it comes time you always have a new one . Cheap insurance .

Man as someone who is getting into HVAC but haven't started school and just kinda wanna learn thing beforehand alot of this is just word jargon to me. Staring at the screen like what am i hearing lol but im looking forward to learning and appreciate the work. Its insane you went through all that by memory

[@JerseyMikeHVAC]

It's going to feel like you're drinking from a fire hose for a while. Just focus on understanding how things actually work, not memorizing things, and you'll be just fine.

@JerseyMikeHVAC thank you, I appreciate it

Why do some techs place heat; such as lighter or torch unto the thermocouple? I notice they do this to make the gas valve open (pop)!!!. Is this method a away of testing it? I noticed in frigid weather where the pilot light went out for days; due to wind, then this sometimes starts it up.

[@JerseyMikeHVAC]

The thermocouple sends out millivots that the gas valve uses to hold open the gas solenoid to feed the pilot flame. The main gas solenoid on the gas valve wont open unless the pilot solenoid is kept open by the thermocouple.
