heat requirements of the thermostat and temperature limit
control. It closes if the pilot goes out. Each individual control
must be operating correctly before any gas can pass to the
burners. Any one control can hotd the gas supply from burner
regardless of the demand of any other control.
SAFETY PILOT
Safety Pilot prevents the flow of gas to burner if the pilot
goes out, or will not ignite.

burners firing, disconnect the thermocouple from the gas
valve. The gas valve should immediately shut off the main
burners and the pilot
2 For boilers equipped with intermittent ignition, with main
burners firing, disconnect the ignition cable from the
intermittent pilot control box. The gas valve should shut
off the main burners. TURN OFF ELECTRIC POWER to
boiler before reconnecting ignition cable, to prevent
electric shock.
