2 couples would be 4 people...that would just be wrong! Start thinking outside-the-box and not with you head in it.

Would they be "hot" couples? ^_^
TDD
That could make for a good TV show. The two thermoucopules of Detroit, maybe?

Okay, yes, thanks, I understand that.
Now I do have one practical question remaining.
If I situate the open end of the vent tube in the flame of the pilot, will the tube suffer oxidation that would eventually cause a problem?
I imagine: 1) a crusty green growth blocking the opening, or 2) the end of the tube being eaten away by the flame.
Again, the vent tube is 1/8" OD copper tubing.
Natural gas is lighter than air. Put the vent BELOW the flame. You do not want it IN the flame.
I completed the repair some hours ago. Thanks to all who contributed to the thread.
I was wrong about the vent tube being copper. It is steel. I positioned its end about 1/8" below the flame of the pilot. I hope that that is far enough away. If not, please explain, and I can move it.
Should be just fine
