Robertshaw 1830-718 Pilot Electrode

The Robertshaw 1830-718 Pilot Electrode is a high-performance 2S-60 pilot ignition component engineered for precision in gas-fired heating systems. Designed as a pilot burner replacement within the reliable 1830 series, this unit features an electrode permanently riveted to the pilot frame, maintaining a fixed 1/8-inch spark gap to ensure consistent ignition cycles. As a specialized HVAC pilot assembly, it serves as the direct replacement for 18G90 models. Note that while the original 18G90 featured a 25-degree left-hand flame orientation, the 1830-718 utilizes a standard flame pattern, providing a versatile solution for diverse furnace pilot electrode retrofits. This aerated, non-linting pilot assembly eliminates the need for air shutters or supplementary shields, streamlining installation for field technicians. It is compatible with 1/4-inch pilot tubing and comes equipped with both natural gas and LP gas orifices for immediate adaptability to site-specific fuel requirements.

• Factory-Calibrated Spark Gap: The 1/8-inch spark gap is permanently set and riveted to prevent drifting, ensuring reliable pilot ignition every time.
• Non-Linting Aerated Design: Combines features of incinerator and target-type pilots to resist lint buildup without requiring external shields.
• Complete Orifice Kit: Includes pre-installed natural gas and additional LP gas orifices for fast gas furnace repair and fuel conversion.
• Versatile Retrofitting: Engineered for 2S-60 OEM-style systems, making it an ideal choice for restoring HVAC system performance in older units.

What is the difference between the 1830-718 and the 18G90?
The 1830-718 is the direct functional replacement. However, technicians should note that the 18G90 had a 25-degree left-hand lead, while the 1830-718 features a standard (straight) flame orientation.

Is this electrode compatible with both Natural Gas and Propane?
Yes. This assembly is a Uni-Kit, providing the necessary orifices for both fuel types to ensure proper BTU output and flame stability.

What size lead and tubing does this assembly use?
This specific model features a 24-inch lead length and is designed to connect to standard 1/4-inch pilot tubing.
