Direct Vent Fireplace Propane Pilot Assembly

The Empire Direct Vent Fireplace Propane Pilot Assembly with Thermopile & Thermocouple is designed for use with liquefied petroleum (LP) propane appliances in direct vent (DV) applications. This assembly includes both a thermocouple and a thermopile, which are essential components that work together to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the fireplace.

The thermocouple is a temperature-sensing device that monitors the pilot light flame. It generates a small electrical current when exposed to heat, which is then used to open the gas supply valve and allow the main burner to ignite. If the pilot light goes out, the thermocouple will detect the drop in temperature and signal the gas valve to close, shutting off the gas supply and preventing the buildup of unburned gas, which could be hazardous.

The thermopile, on the other hand, is a power-generating device that converts the heat from the pilot light into electrical energy. This electrical current is used to power the control circuit, which regulates the gas flow to the main burner and ensures the proper functioning of the fireplace. The thermopile provides a reliable power source, ensuring that the fireplace can operate even in the event of a power outage.

The inclusion of both the thermocouple and the thermopile in this pilot assembly enhances the overall safety and reliability of the direct vent fireplace. The thermocouple's flame monitoring capabilities and the thermopile's power generation work in tandem to create a comprehensive safety system that protects both the user and the appliance.

In addition to the thermocouple and thermopile, the Empire Direct Vent Fireplace Propane Pilot Assembly is designed to be compatible with a wide range of direct vent fireplace models. This versatility makes it a valuable replacement part for homeowners and service technicians who need to maintain or repair their direct vent fireplaces.

The assembly is easy to install, with clear instructions and all the necessary components included. It is constructed with high-quality materials to ensure long-lasting performance and durability, even in the demanding conditions of a fireplace environment.

Overall, the Empire Direct Vent Fireplace Propane Pilot Assembly with Thermopile & Thermocouple is a crucial component for the safe and efficient operation of direct vent fireplaces powered by liquefied petroleum (LP) propane. Its reliable design and comprehensive safety features make it an essential part of any well-functioning fireplace system.
