Bradford White 415-45653-05 Pilot Assembly

The Bradford White 415-45653-05 Pilot Assembly is a critical OEM replacement part engineered specifically for natural gas water heaters utilizing the Honeywell Icon System. This genuine pilot assembly features an integrated electrode and pilot burner designed to maintain precise flame rectification and reliable ignition cycles in high-performance residential units. As the direct successor to the 233-45653-05, this component ensures seamless compatibility with Power Vent and Power Direct Vent models, including the PE2XR and PE4403SF series. For technicians, this assembly simplifies field repairs by including the necessary thermopile and igniter electrode connections required to resolve water heater lockout issues or inconsistent pilot signals. Using genuine Bradford White parts preserves the original equipment's combustion parameters and safety certifications, preventing common integration failures associated with generic aftermarket alternatives. Ensure the orifice and shroud are clear of debris during installation to optimize the pilot flame pattern for the main burner transition.

• Direct OEM Replacement: Replaces deprecated part numbers 233-45653-05, 233-45653-01, and 233-45653-02 without cabinet modification.
• Optimized Ignition: Features a factory-set electrode gap for consistent sparking and rapid response within Honeywell Natural Gas control systems.
• System Compatibility: Specifically designed for Bradford White M1TW and Power Vent series heaters.
