Hey all,
I recently moved my hot water heater. It was only moved about 5 feet. I re-piped the gas line and everything is setup as it was before the move. However, now the pilot won't light. It seems as if there is no gas going to pilot. What is odd is that if I remove the pilot supply line from the gas valve, I can hear and smell gas coming from the pilot inlet on the gas valve. But when I reconnect the line, it doesn't seem like any gas is getting through the line. I blew on the supply to verify it wasn't clogged and it is not. Any suggestions on what might be going on? Thanks for reading.
