Robertshaw 1830-717 Pilot Electrode

The Robertshaw 1830-717 Pilot Electrode is a high-performance 3-way flame pattern ignition component engineered for commercial and residential gas-fired HVAC systems. As part of the 1830-700 Series Pilot Uni-Kits, this assembly serves as a critical flame sensing and ignition point, featuring an electrode permanently riveted to the pilot frame to maintain a precise 1/8-inch fixed spark gap. Designed for field-proven reliability, the 6S14-2ER pilot burner utilizes an aerated design that combines the non-linting characteristics of incinerator and target-type pilots, eliminating the need for air shutters or secondary shields. The 24-inch lead provides ample reach for versatile burner configurations, ensuring stable intermittent pilot ignition and consistent flame rectification. Whether you are performing a service replacement or retrofitting a standing pilot system, this Robertshaw ignition electrode delivers the technical precision required for high-efficiency burner management and safe appliance operation.

• 3-Way Flame Pattern: Optimized for multi-directional ignition and superior flame sensing stability across the burner face.
• 24-Inch Lead Length: Extended wiring allows for flexible installation in various furnace and boiler cabinet configurations.
• Aerated Non-Linting Design: Minimizes debris buildup to prevent nuisance lockouts and maintain a clean pilot flame.
• Fixed 1/8" Spark Gap: Factory-set electrode spacing ensures consistent arcing and reliable ignition sequencing.
• OEM Compatibility: Designed for direct integration with Robertshaw 1830 series pilot assemblies and various gas-fired equipment.

Is the orifice included with this electrode assembly?
This specific model is the pilot electrode and lead assembly; however, as part of the Uni-Kit series, it is designed to work with standard 1/4-inch pilot tubing and compatible Robertshaw natural or LP gas orifices.

What systems is the Robertshaw 1830-717 compatible with?
It is primarily used in systems requiring a 3-way flame pattern for flame rectification, commonly found in commercial cooking equipment, boilers, and furnaces using intermittent pilot controls.

Can the spark gap be adjusted in the field?
The electrode is permanently riveted with a fixed 1/8-inch gap. Attempting to adjust the gap may damage the ceramic insulator and compromise the ignition signal.
