Robertshaw 1830-005 Pilot Uni-Kit

The Robertshaw 1830-005 Pilot Uni-Kit is a universal standing pilot assembly engineered for high-heat applications, specifically designed for commercial cooking equipment and gas-fired furnaces. This natural gas pilot burner features a non-linting aerated design to maintain a stable flame pattern even in environments with heavy grease or dust. The kit includes a thermopile-actuated setup, ensuring consistent millivolt output for reliable safety valve operation. With its universal mounting bracket and adjustable orifice, this Robertshaw 1830 series component replaces hundreds of OEM models, including those from major manufacturers like Vulcan, Southbend, and Imperial. The 90-degree pilot flame orientation ensures optimal heat transfer to the thermocouple or thermopile, preventing nuisance outages and ensuring the pilot ignition system meets strict combustion standards. For technicians managing commercial kitchen repairs or industrial burner maintenance, this OEM-grade replacement part provides the precise gas flow control and durability required for heavy-duty thermal cycles.

Key Benefits for the Contractor

• Broad Compatibility: Replaces Robertshaw 2CH and 2CHC series, reducing the need to carry multiple SKU variations on the truck.
• Enhanced Flame Stability: The aerated pilot burner prevents clogging from airborne contaminants, reducing callback rates for pilot outages.
• Durable Construction: Built with high-grade alloys to withstand the extreme ambient temperatures found in fryers, ovens, and broilers.
• Simplified Installation: Includes necessary pilot tubing compression fittings and a multi-position bracket for faster field retrofitting.

Common Technical Questions

Can the 1830-005 be converted for Liquid Propane (LP) use?
Yes, while configured for natural gas out of the box, it can be converted using the appropriate Robertshaw LP orifice spud included in many universal kits or sourced separately.

What is the typical millivolt output for this assembly?
When paired with a standard thermopile, this assembly is designed to help generate a 750mV signal, though actual output depends on the specific generator used with the pilot burner.

Does this kit include the thermocouple?
This specific Uni-Kit focuses on the pilot burner assembly and mounting hardware; the thermocouple or thermopile is typically sold separately to match the specific millivolt requirements of the gas valve.
