Locate the gas regulator valve on the water heater. It is located on the outside of the water heater where the gas pipe enters the unit and has have a knob on it. The valve regulates gas flow to the pilot burner beneath the hot water tank. Turn the valve knob to the "Off" position. Wait five minutes. Locate the pilot burner beneath the gas water heater. Lift off or unsnap any access cover that blocks access to the burner. Illuminate the pilot burner with the flashlight.
Turn the gas regulator valve's knob to "Pilot," press down on it and hold it down. This starts the flow of gas to the pilot burner. On some water heater models, you press and hold down a separate red button to start the pilot burner gas flow. If your heater has a built-in piezo-electric spark pilot igniter, look for a red or black button labeled "Ignition" on the top or side of the gas valve. Push the button to ignite the pilot. You will hear a click as the igniter sparks. If your heater requires manual lighting, the safest lighter is a long-necked barbeque lighter. Apply the lighter flame to the pilot burner.
