The Robertshaw 1820-009 is a professional-grade Pilot Uni-Kit designed to replace high-demand, hard-to-find ITT-General PG9 type pilots, specifically the PG9A42JT. As an aerated pilot, this assembly utilizes a 90° right-hand flame pattern that combines the reliability of an incinerator-type pilot with the precision of a target-type pilot. For contractors working on millivolt systems, this kit ensures high-performance combustion with non-linting characteristics, eliminating the need for air shutters or supplementary shields. Each kit includes a pre-installed natural gas orifice and a separate LP gas orifice for field conversion, providing versatility for various fuel types. The inclusion of a 36-inch lead length and a specialized 1/4-inch tubing adaptor allows for seamless integration with original tubing using the provided nut and ball sleeve, removing the necessity for manual tube cutting. This pilot burner assembly is the industry standard for restoring reliable ignition and flame sensing in older gas-fired equipment.

Key Benefits
  • Broad Compatibility: Direct replacement for ITT-General PG9A42JT and various Grainger (2EWG1) and Johnstone Supply (L36-465) cross-references.
  • Dual Fuel Ready: Ships with both Natural Gas and LP orifices to match appliance specifications on-site.
  • Advanced Aeration: Non-linting design maintains stable flame impingement on the thermopile without secondary adjustments.
  • Simplified Installation: Includes a 1/4" tubing adaptor with nut and ball sleeve, allowing technicians to use existing pilot lines.
  • Complete Assembly: Features a high-output 1950-532 thermopile and 36" leads for reaching deep-set gas valves.
Common Questions

Is this kit compatible with standing pilot or intermittent ignition systems?
The 1820-009 is specifically designed for millivolt systems using a PG9 replacement pilot. It includes a thermopile to generate the millivoltage required to hold the gas valve safety magnet open.

Do I need to cut the existing gas line to install this?
No. The specialized 1/4" tubing adaptor allows you to connect the new Robertshaw pilot assembly to the original tubing using the existing nut and ball sleeve, saving time on the job site.

Does this unit require an air shutter adjustment?
No, these are aerated pilots designed with fixed characteristics that resist linting. No air shutters or supplementary shields are required for standard operation.
