DANgER. You are one stupid retarded asshole. If the thermal device
pops, the damper slams shut. You cannot lite even the pilot after this
happens. You also CANNOT get a professional to replace the thermal
device. It is not made. The tank gets thrown away and you start over.
Call Rheem and find out for yourself. I cant stand when idiots like
you give out false advice. You are an idiot.
