    Rheem criterion furnace?
    Here goes. Thermostat is fine and functional. Replaced the batteries. Pilot is lit. Blower is blowing. Not getting gas to flow. Is it the thermocouple that needs to be replaced?

    No, if the thermocouple was bad, the pilot would not be lit.. However, I'm not sure your furnace even has a thermocouple. How old is your furnace. Is the pilot on constantly or does it light from a spark igniter? Or does your unit have a glow plug. Can you post some pics
