Hello everyone,

I need to know how to light the pilot light in my fireplace. It's a standard gas fireplace.

Thank you,

What is a standard fireplace? Does it have a model number and brand name? Many units have a automatic pilot and those units you do not light with a match.

Majestic model # NVBR36RN

We opened and saw one valve that we believe controls the gas. Then on the other side there are 3 nobs, one is ingiter and the other is pilot/on/off, the last controls the high/low gas.

The PDF file will not download so I am doing a copy paste of the instructions. This FP came with two different gas valves and instructions are different for both. The first one is for a standing pilot unit. Follow the directions and if the pilot stays on then the unit should work. If the pilot does not stay on then it might have a defective thermocouple or the pilot orifice might be plugged up. This unit also uses a thermopile to generate a small electric charge to operate the gas valve and controls. Usually if the pilot does not stay lit then it is time to call for a professional to do a on site visit and repair. Just make sure the company you call know about these types of fireplaces. The other type of unit I mentioned is electronic ignition and I do not believe you have that unit but if you do you will need to call for service for that unit since there are no real user serviceable parts and the electronic ignition will need to be tested.
