If the pilot won't stay lit, or the burner shuts down soon after the pilot is released, the thermopile is often the cause. The EC-012 is a genuine Enviro thermopile designed to replace this worn component in compatible gas appliances. The Enviro Thermopile (EC-012) replaces the worn millivolt thermopile in compatible Enviro gas fireplaces, inserts and stoves.

Purpose

The thermopile generates the millivolt signal that keeps the gas valve open once the pilot is lit. When it weakens or fails, the valve reads a false shutdown signal and cuts gas flow to the pilot and burner.

Key Benefits

• Restores reliable pilot signal and burner ignition
• Genuine Enviro factory part, not an aftermarket equivalent
• Helps return the appliance to its designed heat output
• Direct-fit for a wide range of Enviro millivolt gas appliances

Specifications

• Part Number: Enviro EC-012 (SIT 0.940.002)
• Type: Rod-style thermopile

Other Notes

A weakened thermopile is a common reason a pilot drops out on its own, which is a built-in safety cutout rather than a fault with the burner. Installation and pilot adjustment should be performed by a licensed gas technician in accordance with local codes.

When replacing a thermopile, it's worth having a technician inspect the pilot assembly and gas valve as well, since wear in these related components can produce similar symptoms.
