Hi Reggie
Does your water heater have an open combustion chamber (can reach inside if you remove the front access door) or a closed combustion chamber (remove access door and there is another door with a glass window in it)?
Let me know...

Mark, It has an open combustion chamber, however it has an inner and outer metal door which can be removed to light the pilot.

Be sure to shut off the gas before starting the job... ;)
