Robertshaw 1830-502 Pilot Uni-Kit
The Robertshaw 1830-502 Pilot Uni-Kit is a specialized aerated pilot burner assembly designed for high-performance gas heating applications. Engineered for maximum field flexibility, this kit features the 3CH-10 hood type and Mounting Bracket 10, providing a consistent standard flame pattern essential for reliable thermocouple or thermopile impingement. As an industry-standard incinerator-target pilot, it utilizes a non-linting design that eliminates the need for air shutters or supplementary shields, ensuring a clean burn and reducing service calls related to pilot outage or soot accumulation.
This universal pilot kit is compatible with 1/4-inch pilot tubing and includes both Natural Gas (NG) and Liquid Propane (LP) gas orifices. The package features a specialized adapter to convert a threaded 2CH thermocouple connection to a snap-in 2C type, allowing for seamless integration with Robertshaw Uni-Line and most competitive safety controls. Whether you are performing a furnace pilot replacement or a commercial water heater repair, the 1830-502 offers the technical reliability required for critical ignition systems.
