Burnham Boiler 8236065 Pilot Assembly

The Burnham Boiler 8236065 Pilot Assembly is a high-precision OEM replacement designed for 24V natural gas heating systems, specifically the Burnham Independence Series. As a veteran technician, you know that a steady pilot flame is the heartbeat of a reliable boiler. This assembly features a 1/4-inch pilot tube fitting and is the direct factory-authorized replacement for obsolete Honeywell Q350A1321 models, as well as Q350A1644 and 411-805-000. It is essential for restoring the 20 to 30 millivolt signal required by the gas valve to maintain safe burner operation.

When troubleshooting "no heat" calls on Independence boilers, a weak or oscillating pilot flame often indicates a clogged orifice or carbon buildup on the assembly. Replacing the worn component with this genuine Burnham 8236065 ensures proper flame alignment with the thermocouple, preventing nuisance shutdowns and ignition failures. Engineered for durability in both residential and light commercial steam or water applications, this 24V natural gas pilot provides the exact fit and millivolt output necessary to meet original manufacturer specifications and safety protocols.

Key Benefits

• OEM Compatibility: Exact replacement for 8236102, 411-805-000, and 412-417-000, ensuring zero-clearance fitting issues.
• Reliable Ignition: Features a 1/4" air tube diameter designed to produce a stable, concentrated flame for consistent thermocouple heating.
• Direct Honeywell Cross: Replaces the Honeywell Q350A1321 and Q350A1644 without requiring additional mounting brackets.
• System Integrity: Specifically tuned for Burnham Independence and 202/203/204 series boilers to maintain factory-spec efficiency.

Common Questions

Is the 8236065 compatible with LP (Propane) systems?
No, this specific assembly is calibrated for natural gas only. Using it with liquid propane can lead to improper combustion and hazardous operation.

Will this fix a pilot that won't stay lit?
If your thermocouple is testing within the correct millivolt range but the flame is lifting or failing to hit the sensor, the 8236065 pilot burner is likely the culprit and should be replaced.

Does this include the thermocouple?
This is the pilot burner and bracket assembly. For a full system overhaul, it is often recommended to pair this with a new 30-inch thermocouple (Burnham 8236024 or equivalent) to ensure peak electrical signal to the gas valve.
