Re: [VAL] Glyn's Water Heater
Hey Glyn:
If your regulator is like mine you must be sure that the OFF-PILOT-ON knob
is accurately centered in the PILOT position or the pilot button won't go
all the way down. It catches on the knob. I had trouble lighting mine at
first until I figured that out. The button still will depress, but not
enough to release gas so that the pilot can be lit. The button actually
goes in quite a ways if the knob is positioned right. And also be prepared
to spend some time with the button depressed before the pilot will stay lit.
Tis a pain sometimes. I use one of those butane lighter sticks myself.
But, if you already know all this..........never mind.
