[VAC] Re: Hot Water Heater question



	For this type of problem, you kind of need to be watching it
when it shuts off. A couple of things- the new thermocouple *could* be
bad- while it's not common, I have seen it several times.
	If the air adjustment is off, the flame could be pulling the
pilot flame off of the thermocouple, shutting the gas off. The main
flame should not roar (or should just be at the point of starting to
roar)- if it is roaring loudly, there is too much air.
