Robertshaw 1830-491 Pilot Uni-Kit

When you're out on a service call dealing with a fouled pilot or a failed thermocouple connection, the Robertshaw 1830-491 Pilot Uni-Kit is the fallback assembly you want in the truck. This aerated pilot burner is designed with non-linting characteristics, meaning you won’t be back in six months clearing out dust bunnies that choked the primary air. It features a 3-way flame pattern and a specialized Hood 6 mounting configuration, which ensures precise flame impingement on the sensing element for reliable dropout protection in 2CH and 2C series applications. This kit is built for versatile field replacement, including an adapter to convert threaded thermocouple leads to snap-in style connections. Whether you are firing up a commercial range or a standard furnace, the included natural gas and LP orifices allow for immediate adaptation to the fuel source on-site. The 1/4 inch tubing inlet and incinerator-target design make it a drop-in solution for Vulcan Hart, Hobart, and Uniline equipment without needing air shutter adjustments.

• Universal Compatibility: Works with all Robertshaw and most competitive thermocouples and thermopiles.
• Fuel Flexibility: Ships with both natural gas and LP orifices to cover any installation requirement.
• Adaptable Design: Features a number 6 mounting bracket and a 3-way flame tailored for maximum coverage.
• Maintenance-Free: Non-linting characteristics eliminate the need for supplementary shields or air shutters.
• Easy Retrofitting: Includes a conversion adapter to transition from 2CH threaded to 2C snap-in models seamlessly.

Does this kit support both millivolt and standing pilot systems?
Yes. Because it is compatible with both thermocouples and thermopiles, you can use it in 750mV self-powered systems or standard 30mV safety circuits.

Can I use this for a vertical or horizontal gas inlet?
This 1830 series kit is engineered for flexible mounting, allowing for both horizontal and vertical positioning depending on the appliance’s combustion chamber layout.

What is the primary benefit of the aerated design?
The aerated pilot mixes air and gas more efficiently before ignition, resulting in a stable, sharp blue flame that is less susceptible to environmental contaminants or "lazy" flame conditions that trip safety valves.
