Great product, but need to know how to install it
The product itself is great, however when I first installed it the pilot+ the thermocouple was touching the burner flames a little, which made it only last for 2 days until the pilot turned off, after checking videos I was able to fix this by cleaning the thermocouple a little, move the thermocouple a little farther from the burner fire and that did the trick. Burner is working fine for now, will update if anything changes. But so far I am satisfied.

Getting a Matched Thermalcouple and Gas Hood was Critical
In my case the pilot light needed a whole new fixture; i.e. both a new thermalcouple and gas-line with hood, designed and engineered to work together. Initially it seemed like more work to replace the fixture, but it made a big difference unless you are getting an exact thermal coupler replacement. Discussion: I went into this job filling-in for a lay HVAC and a real HVAC technician. The lay HVAC person, a friend of the renter, bought and installed a new thermal couple; to no avail. The renter then called in an HVAC technician who diagnosed a bad gas valve; replace for $800, and since the boiler is old, how about a new system while we are at it for $-ridiculous price. I'm the homeowners son-in-law, I was called in to help, simply as a DIY man. I tested the thermal couplers and both put out ~30 m-Volts, so I replaced the gas valve. This set up worked through the end of the season (2-months). The next season the pilot light was not staying lit. I readjusted the thermal coupler and the system worked for a month or two. Since over a full year had passed, I wondered about the gas valve going bad again, since the thermal couplers were giving pretty good 30 m-Volts reading on bench tests. I decided to buy the whole pilot light fixture as offered here, new hood and thermal-couple, designed and engineered for each other. Perhaps the old pilot-light gas line was plugged, though there seemed to be plenty of gas. The new system worked like a charm and I now suspect a new gas valve was never needed in the first place. That is, the new thermal coupler that the lay HVAC person bought was not an exact match for the fixture it was going into. I never saw the original hardware and alignment, so I was not aware they were so incompatible.

Works great.
If you are looking for this type of pilot then this is what you want to get. It works perfectly and fits most setups. However, depending on the the setup you have, you may have to get fitting attachments but other than that, it works as expected.

This igniter didn't last as long as I'd hope but it did work temporarily

This item is defected.
The pilot would not light. I have to get another pilot tubing then the pilot lit and work fine.

Perfect Fit For Fireplace
This was a perfect fit to replace my old fireplaces thermocouple. Installs and gas leak testing took me 15 minutes. I didn't even have to wait 30 seconds or so to get the pilot going. 10 seconds and the fire was ROARING! Great value and prompt shipping!

Works fine
Don't buy this for gas logs! Bought this to use with gas logs, maybe my bad. Anyway, the pilot light was way to fast for this use, ran through a large propane tank in a week! Clearly ONLY for use on water heaters.
