How should the sensor on a hydraulic safety valve be mounted in the pilot burner?

The sensor on a hydraulic safety valve should be mounted between the two indents in the pilot burner to ensure proper operation and safety. This specific positioning allows the sensor to accurately detect the temperature or heat from the pilot flame. When mounted in the correct location, the sensor can effectively monitor the pilot light's status, ensuring that any potential issues, such as a pilot outage, can be addressed promptly.

Mounting the sensor accurately helps maintain the integrity of the safety system. If it were located elsewhere, such as above the pilot bracket or at an incorrect angle, it could lead to inadequate sensing capabilities, potentially compromising the system's safety and reliability. Proper installation directly correlates to the efficiency and effectiveness of the safety measures in place for the gas equipment.
