ABSTRACT:
A pilot and thermocouple mounting bracket for supporting a thermocouple and for supporting a pilot and pilot shield adjacent a burner includes a central plate member and a plurality of tabs attached to the central plate member. At least some of the tabs include apertures for receiving the thermocouple and the pilot and are bent in various configurations enabling the pilot to be supported in a substantially horizontal orientation relative to the burner. A locking tab forms part of the mounting bracket and is engageable with the pilot shield to eliminate the possibility of misplacing the pilot shield. By supporting the pilot in a substantially horizontal orientation relative to the burner, dust is prevented from building up in and around the pilot shield, and cleaning and lighting the pilot is made easier.
