Hereof, why will my patio heater not light?It may be as simple as the gas valve on the propane tank being turned off. Yet another reason your patio will not stay lit is that the gas valve orifice is blocked. You should clean the orifice or have it replaced. Sometimes there is air in the gas line which is blocking propane from getting to the heater head unit.Also, why does my pilot light go out when I release the pilot light knob? The most likely of those is that the thermocouple needs to be replaced. The button you press to light the pilot bypasses the thermocouple. When you release the button, the thermocouple ensures that unburned gas doesn’t get released by shutting off the gas when it’s not heated by the burning pilot light. Similarly, can you bypass thermocouple on patio heater? Bypassing the thermocouple would make it no more dangerous than any propane grill. It’s not going to make it explode. The only thing it would prevent is losing a tank of propane into the atmosphere if the flame happened to go out because the valve wouldnt close.How do I stop my patio heater from tipping over?Without a reservoir, the best way to keep your patio heater from tipping over is by securing the stem to a sturdy structure. If you have any pillars in your outdoor space, you can attach a small ratchet strap around it and your heater. This should be enough to ensure that your patio heater remains vertical.
