Few years back the only videos on testing thermocouples were from America. No commercial training centre in the UK ever touched on the practical experience of testing and proving components within/outside the central heating system. Brilliant video!
Thanks for posting this. I recently purchased an old Eastham Maxol 41 camping oven. Couldn't figure out why it wasn't working till your video explained how the thermocouple combined with the flame failure valve worked. After that it was easy to test the operation of the valve and thermocouple. Explains why I couldn't get it to light first time. I didn't hold the button in long enough. Thanks again.
I am almost finishing my gas course in leeds College, but honestly, I'll come to viva Gas Training for the rest of my course, which I like to do, and the only reason is allen and Roy's ( he is a live gas bibles). I'm so impressed by these guys knowledge specially Roy's. Looks after your self men.
Thank you Allen and Roy, a great video, and well explained. I’m liking these new Roy videos, thanks both and Viva. A couple of questions if I may? In a video Roy mentions no need to have mega expensive multimeter, I have an Amprobe 500 basic and mislaid an Extech, should I upgrade to a Fluke, or will these suffice? Is there going to be a video on Combi boiler sequence of operation?
Can't remember who but someone makes one off them testers got one in a bag some place. Works better than multi meter tested some that where obviously burnt out but was getting 20 odd millvolts
Been on several of Roy's courses. One of the best. Good to see him still sharing his knowledge.
Absolutely
Loving these new fault finding series. Well done Allen
Thank You

Been on a course with Roy in the past he is Brilliant
I’ve been through the Baxi training with Roy and he was brilliant and knew his stuff. Thanks both for this video. 👍
Thank You
Love your videos here in the states!
Thanks for watching!
Thanks very much for your comment, please consider subscribing to support the channel 🙂
TC's are still out there but don't see many boilers now with them. Last one I went out to would be over a year ago.
Thank You
Great basic training, sometimes it’s the simple things
Thank You
A great informative little video. Well done lads. 👍
Thank You
These videos are great ,I feel smarter already . How do you test the mag unit if it is an intermittent fault? Thanks
Great video as always gents. Wish I would have had someone like yourselves as my instructor.
Thanks To Roy & you Allen . Much appreciated
Great struff! Is it possible to repair a thermocouple?
Great video, thanks Roy and Alan, unless you know how the simple things operate faults are not so simple to diagnose.
Thank You
Where we can find the part used in the first test method?
Good stuff! 👍🏿 one question is TB 118 part of the ACS?
Good question, it was going to be but i am not sure whats happened with covid. th-cam.com/video/5mIb8p3mYlQ/w-d-xo.html
Very good video nice a simple and easy explanation many thanks
Thank You
Great, thanks Allen and Roy :)
Thank you for all your support
Also, I’ve never replaced a thermocouple, can a universal thermocouple be used, or does it have to be manufacture specific?
Universal thermocouple that’s long enough CAN Work.
Excellent tutorial
Thank You

Excellent stuff
Thank you kindly
Thanks Alan
Love your videos
Thank You
Why brand new thermocouple makes just 15mV ? Pilot flame is good and "touch" the thermocouple perfectly.
Very helpful thanks guys 👍
Thank You

Regin make a thermocouple tester which is the same setup as using an old mag unit
Hi Colin,
Thanks for the feedback. Regin do one the REGT20, I used to have a SIT one years ago.
Great video again Allen. Does Roy have his own TH-cam channel ? Or does he have an Instagram account?
Hi Simon,
I don't have either a TH-cam account or Instagram, but I'm on Facebook.
Yes, This one 😂😂😂👍
😂😂 sorry Allen. He’s a really good trainer 👌🏽
First day on initial acs, already have a headache
Did you watch our acs video? Thanks

@@AllenHart999 yes, been watching for weeks. Brilliant al 👍
I have a regin thermocouple tester 😉
😍😍😍
Thank You
👍🤓👍
Roy the "sooper dee dooper trainer" didn't even mention what the acceptable voltage range is for a thermocouple 🙄
There is Always people Like u WHO complaining about everything
