Heil Quaker ICP 1160280 Pilot/Ignitor Assembly

The Heil Quaker ICP 1160280 Pilot/Ignitor Assembly is a high-precision OEM replacement engineered for Intermittent Pilot Ignition (IPI) systems across a broad range of ICP brands, including Tempstar, Arcoaire, and Comfortmaker. This furnace pilot burner assembly features a durable "L" tip style and "B" mounting configuration, designed to withstand the harsh thermal cycles of residential and light commercial heating applications. Integrated with a 0.018" orifice and a standard 1/4 CC fitting, this assembly ensures consistent flame rectification and reliable ignition, critical for maintaining system efficiency and preventing lockout codes in modern furnace platforms.

For technicians performing a Heil furnace repair, the 1160280 offers an exact factory footprint, streamlining the swap-out process for failing gas furnace ignitors. This assembly is rated under the ANS Z21.20 automatic ignition system standard, confirming its compatibility with secondary controls and gas valves used in high-efficiency ICP units. Utilizing a genuine ICP 1160280 part eliminates the common voltage drop and alignment issues associated with universal aftermarket pilots, ensuring the ignition sequence remains within the manufacturer?s specified timing parameters.

Key Benefits for the Contractor:

• Direct OEM Replacement: Drop-in compatibility for models like NUG5, NUGK, and NULS series, reducing diagnostic and installation time.
• Optimized Ignition: The 0.018" factory-drilled orifice provides the precise gas-to-air ratio for rapid pilot flame establishment.
• Robust Materials: Built with high-temperature alloys to resist carbon buildup and electrode degradation over long-term service.
• Standardized Connectivity: Features a 1/4 CC fitting for seamless integration with existing pilot tubing.

Common Questions:

Can I use this to replace old Honeywell Q3451B series pilots?
Yes, the 1160280 is the designated ICP equivalent (HQ1160280HW) for specific Honeywell pilot sequences used in Heil Quaker equipment. Always verify lead lengths and mounting offsets before securing.

What causes this assembly to fail prematurely?
Contaminants in the gas line or internal manifold can clog the 0.018" orifice. Additionally, cracked ceramic insulators on the ignitor/sensor lead often lead to grounding issues, preventing the control board from sensing the flame.

Is the orifice replaceable on this assembly?
While the orifice is a component of the assembly, it is recommended to replace the entire unit to ensure the sensor and ignitor alignment remains factory-calibrated for proper flame sensing.
