Utica-Dunkirk PB-014.01 Pilot

The Utica PB-014.01 Natural Gas Spark Pilot is a critical OEM replacement part designed for precision intermittent ignition in Utica and Dunkirk boiler systems. This natural gas pilot burner assembly (cataloged as PB01401) provides a consistent ignition arc to ensure reliable main burner light-off while maximizing fuel efficiency by eliminating the need for a standing flame. Built for Dunkirk gas boilers and residential hydronic systems, this unit supports modern Intermittent Pilot Ignition (IPI) sequences, reducing fuel waste and preventing soot buildup. The high-grade flame sensor electrode and spark rod are engineered to provide stable microamp signals back to the ignition control module, preventing erratic lockouts. Designed with a robust bracket and corrosion-resistant materials, this pilot assembly handles high-duty cycles in demanding heating environments. For professional service, ensure the spark gap is set correctly and the pilot tube fittings are torqued to prevent gas leaks during the boiler maintenance cycle.

• OEM Compatibility: Precision-fit for Utica-Dunkirk series, including direct replacement for PB01401.
• High-Efficiency Ignition: Supports spark-to-pilot systems to reduce standby fuel consumption compared to standard pilots.
• Consistent Flame Sensing: Features a dedicated flame rod for reliable rectified current detection, minimizing nuisance shutdowns.
• Durable Construction: Heavy-duty pilot burner assembly materials resist high-temperature oxidation and thermal fatigue.

• Is the PB-014.01 compatible with older standing pilot boilers? No, this is a spark-ignition pilot specifically for systems utilizing electronic ignition modules and cannot be used in standing pilot applications.
• Does this include the spark wire and pilot tubing fittings? This unit is the natural gas pilot assembly and typically utilizes standard 1/4" or 1/8" compression fittings for the gas line depending on the existing manifold.
• How do I troubleshoot if the pilot sparks but won't light the main burner? Check for a cracked ceramic insulator on the spark rod or carbon buildup on the sensor electrode, which can bleed the ignition signal to the ground.
