    Thank you… you should make a video about making the older units like this one to operate during a power outage, with the jumper. All the videos on UA-cam only show how to install batteries to the newer models to get them working during a power outage. Nothing on older pilot light style gas fireplaces. Our power will be out for 10 hours and the temperature is -6F. That jumper that you showed, opened the valve and allowed my main gas valve to open. Nobody is showing folks how to open the main valve when the switch on the wall is dead. This video helped provide heat to my home, and may have saved my water pipes. Fingers crossed. Big thank you…..

  • @Graybeard_

    I think I'm going to have to replace the gas valve on mine. I have struggled to keep my freestanding gas fireplace running for the last 18 years (very similar to yours, except mine is freestanding, so easier to work on). I have kept it limping along by cleaning it every year, fiddling with it, hoping and getting lucky. Last year I replaced the entire thermocouple/thermopile assembly unit, and it worked all winter. Note: I did get my thermocouple/thermopile assembly unit from Amazon, so that could be the issue. I also replaced the switch which seemed to help one year. This winter, when we had our first cold snap (-34C outside right now), I cleaned it all out, but have not gotten it running after three days of working on it. I can get the pilot to light, but as soon as I release the push and hold pilot nob, the pilot goes out. I have also changed out my propane regulator (I own four of them), but nothing is working. I also put my MAPP gas torch on the thermopile/couple to see if one or both was weak. I'm wondering now if the valve has always been faulty (buggy) without completely failing. I love the stove when it's working, as it puts out a massive amount of heat, and has a top that I can cook on in a pinch. But it is a royal pain to keep running. The valve unit is $140 (US), but a new stove is $2,500. I wish there was a way to check the valve unit before I replace it, but I haven't found anyone online who demonstrates how to test the valve unit.

      Wood is not free. You have to at very least go chop it which is time you could spend earning income. Also you actually need trees to chop, and not everyone has their own trees. Consider a condo on Comm Ave. Can't really heat it with with wood. And btw, most condo in Boston are oil (in older buildings), and gas in newer buildings, or upgraded boiler.

    Do I have a bad gas valve? I have a discontinued gas valve. The thermocouple reads 28-30mv, and the thermopile gets to 300-400 when heated. Both prove that the TP and TC work. Also checked continuity on the wall switch. The pilot light lights up but as soon as I let go after 2 min it turns off.

    • @RemodelCalculator
      @RemodelCalculator 9 місяців тому

      Maybe bad contact. I've spoken with a tech who services 5-10 fireplaces a day for last 15 years. He said in 15 years he had to replace on about 5 gas valves. So it is very rare for the valve to go bad. So my guess the TC or TP contact might be bad. If you hold a lighter to the TC, will the pilot light stay on, and will the flame come on? You can try a stick lighter

Worked great for the small 6x6 area - start to finish in 45 minutes! Removing thinset from concrete with a chisel is a nightmare! This method produced almost zero dust with an impressive pile in the shop-vac afterwards. Just have to be careful when using - the diamond cup removes concrete just as fast as thinset. The grinder tool got pretty warm but it worked great!
