Aren't thermocouples standard parts in all gas fired appliances and you can
pick one up at just about any hardware store for $5. The only thing you
have to know is how long it needs to be. I always buy the "12 ones because
you can just coil the extra wire and tuck it away. In most cases, a
thermocouple is a universal fit.

So why do you insist on waiting for a service call when you could do it
yourself by this evening. It only takes a small wrench and 15 minutes, less
time than it takes to schedule the service call. You are in a DIY forum
afterall. I can't believe you are waiting a month without hot water, that's

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Try doing some
research on this specific product, and then get back to me.

and by the way, a DYI guy such as yourself should understand that you
don't need the thermocouple to have hot water in your water heater.
you're an idiot. crawl back in your hole.
