Parts that most often need replacing

thermocouple / pilot burner assembly
pilot gas valve / thermostat
anode rod
pressure relief (T&P) valve

Maintenance tip

Pilot models rely on the thermocouple to hold the gas valve open, so a pilot that will not stay lit usually points to a dirty pilot orifice or a weak thermocouple; also inspect the anode when draining and replace it once about 75% is consumed.

To verify compatibility, contact Suburban directly with your water heater model and serial number.
