[VAC] Re: Trouble lighting water heater pilot



Jim
I finally got a chance to start poking around under my
trailer, and I didn't see a shutoff valve for the
water heater (or any other appliance for that matter).
 I took your advice and loosened the connection to
check if gas was making it to the furnance, and I did
not smell any gas escaping.  The gas line for the
range top is right next to the gas line for the water
heater, and the range top works fine.

I'm baffled why gas doesn't seem to be making it to
the water heater.  There is a bunch of insulation
stuffed around the heater, so I can't follow the gas
line all the way in from under the trailer to where
the temperature control is.  Is it possible that a
shutoff valve would be located in the water heater
compartment and not underneath the trailer?

Very weird.
