When a gas appliance’s pilot keeps going out, the thermocouple is the usual suspect, but swapping parts to find out is slow. The Regin REGT20 lets you test a thermocouple on its own, off the appliance, by simulating the way a gas valve holds open.
To test, assemble the thermocouple into the tester, heat the tip and press the white button. If the thermocouple is working correctly, the plunger stays down for approximately 20 to 30 seconds, simulating the holding action of a gas valve. If it doesn’t, the thermocouple is the likely fault.
Use a suitable heat source and take care when heating the tip. The tester checks the thermocouple only, so a pass doesn’t replace checks on the appliance. Work on gas appliances must be carried out by a suitably qualified, registered gas installer in accordance with the relevant standards.
Testing a thermocouple takes seconds with this tester, and it saves swapping parts to find a fault. It’s simple, handheld and cheap enough to keep in the van.
