  • This video will show you how to light a gas fireplace with a piezo spark ignitor. The first think you want to do is pull the cover off the fireplace. Then turn the gas on to your fireplace. Second turn the pilot valve to pilot and push the button in for about 45 seconds. Then push the piezo igniter button four or have 5 times. Once the pilot light is lit still hold the pilot button down for 20 more seconds. Then turn the pilot knob to ON. Replace the cover on the fireplace and you should be ready to go. If this is the first time you are lighting the fireplace for the season be sure to open a window. Else you will be smelling burning dust.

    I owe you a beer... or 10! You just saved me! Was having my home inspected for selling reasons and needed to show the buyer that the gas fireplace worked. Thanks to YOUR video, I was able to light my pilot light! WHEW! Thank you, thank you!

    The hubby was getting frustrated trying to start ours after we were just hit with a winter storm, but, after I found this I basically started it right up. Worked like a charm... Thanks!

    My fire place is so weird and its hidden right underneath the logs. I have to remove the brick and then all I have is is an on and off switch. That was on. And a red switch that looks like the yellow one in the video. That's all it has. I'm afraid to mess with it. Because its so different. I can't find a video that shows components that look like mine. Nobody has an on and off switch??

    Are you supposed to hear gas flowing when you push on the pilot button? I hear nothing when I push on pilot (I checked the gas valve is turned On)

    Before I vacuum I put the faux logs in the bathtub and rinse them off. I learned that the hard way after we set off all the smoke detectors and got a call from ADT about an alarm the first time we lit it after moving in.

    Does that shut off valve need to be closed, every time you turn the pilot light out?

      Usually, you close the valve off for the season.

      @@sellgooddeals-DIY Thank you!! The reason I ask, we have a 2 year old, and moved into our house 2 years ago, and never used it until yesterday. The valve was on the on position for 2 years and I had no idea, I didn't know if that was bad?

    • @sellgooddeals-DIY
      @sellgooddeals-DIY  2 роки тому +1

      @J Cash If the gas control valve's pilot was set to off the gas is off. If the gas control valve was set to on or pilot you would have had a small amount of gas escaping. Really the valve before the control valve is for isolating the gas so that repairs can be made to the control valve. It's good practice to shut the valve off when the fireplace won't be used for an extended time.
