Resideo Y8610U4001 Pilot Retrofit Kit

The Resideo Y8610U4001 Pilot Retrofit Kit is a field-proven Intermittent Pilot Ignition conversion system designed to upgrade atmospheric standing pilot systems to high-efficiency electronic ignition. This kit is a universal solution for 24 Vac gas-fired atmospheric furnaces, boilers, and water heaters, significantly reducing fuel waste by eliminating the need for a constant pilot flame. The Y8610U4001 includes the S8610U3009 continuous retry ignition module, providing 100% shut-off for both main and pilot gas in the event of ignition failure. This model is identical to the Y8610U4001/U and offers seamless HVAC pilot kit installation for service technicians looking to improve system reliability. Built for standing pilot to electronic ignition upgrade projects, the controller features a 15-second maximum ignition trial time and works with natural or LP gas. Integrating the Resideo intermittent pilot control ensures your clients benefit from modern safety standards and reduced operational costs without replacing the entire appliance.
