Robertshaw 1830-722 Pilot
The Robertshaw 1830-722 is a professional-grade millivolt pilot assembly specifically engineered for high-output commercial cooking equipment and gas-fired heating systems. This Uni-Line series pilot features a durable 48-inch thermocouple sensor and a 90-degree left-hand flame orientation, ensuring precise pilot flame impingement and reliable ignition cycles. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of HVACR contractors, the 1830-722 is a universal replacement for various commercial fryer pilots and range configurations. It utilizes a thermopile-style sensor to generate the millivoltage required to hold the safety valve open. When troubleshooting intermittent pilot lockout or weak thermocouple signals, this Robertshaw pilot burner provides the thermal stability and aerated flame pattern necessary for optimal combustion. Field-tested for heavy-duty applications, these Robertshaw replacement parts ensure compatibility with multiple gas types and manifold pressures, making them essential for maintaining code compliance and equipment uptime in demanding kitchen environments.
Key Benefits for Technicians:- Precision Flame Alignment: The 90-degree left-hand porting provides focused heat transfer to the sensing element for faster valve response.
- Extended Reach: The 48-inch lead length allows for flexible routing around heat shields and through tight internal chassis.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Built to withstand the high-ambient temperatures found in commercial fryers and ovens without premature fatigue.
- Universal Application: Part of the Uni-Line series, designed to replace multiple OEM pilot burner configurations with minimal field adjustment.
- Reliable Millivolt Output: Ensures consistent voltage to the standing pilot gas valve, reducing nuisance service calls and diagnostic time.
What causes a pilot flame to lift off the burner?
Flame lifting is typically caused by high primary air ingestion or incorrect gas pressure. Verify that the orifice is clear and the manifold pressure matches the nameplate requirements.
Is this pilot assembly compatible with LP and Natural Gas?
Yes, however, ensure you are utilizing the correct orifice size for the specific fuel type being used at the job site to prevent carboning or overheating.
How do you test the output of the integrated sensor?
Using a multimeter set to millivolts, a healthy pilot should generate between 25mV and 30mV under a no-load condition when the flame is properly engulfing the top 1/2-inch of the tip.
