Robertshaw 1830-312 Pilot

The Robertshaw 1830-312 Pilot Uni-Kit is a specialized aerated pilot assembly engineered for high-reliability ignition in residential and commercial gas heating applications. This incinerator-target pilot features a 2CHR-3 configuration with a 25-degree right-hand flame pattern, providing precise flame impingement on the thermocouple for consistent millivolt generation. As a versatile gas pilot replacement, the 1830-312 is factory-shipped with a natural gas orifice installed but includes a separate conversion orifice for liquid propane (LP) applications. The unit is designed for use with 1/4-inch pilot tubing and includes a dedicated 1830-series mounting bracket (Type 3) and hood (Type 2). A critical technical advantage for field technicians is the included adapter, which enables seamless conversion from threaded 2CH thermocouples to snap-in 2C thermocouple styles. This non-linting design eliminates the need for air shutters or supplementary shields, ensuring stable pilot operation and reduced maintenance callbacks in demanding environments.

• Universal Compatibility: Includes an adapter to support both threaded and snap-in thermocouple/thermopile connections across various OEM brands.
• Multi-Fuel Capability: Simplified field conversion with both Natural Gas and LP orifices included in the Uni-Kit.
• Reliable Flame Geometry: The 25-degree right flame pattern ensures optimal heat transfer to the safety sensing element.
• Maintenance-Free Design: Aerated, non-linting construction prevents debris buildup and eliminates the need for manual air adjustments.
• Standardized Fit: Utilizes 1/4" pilot tubing and a Type 3 mounting bracket for direct HVAC part replacement in existing furnace and boiler setups.

Can this pilot assembly be used with a thermopile?
Yes, the Robertshaw 1830-312 is designed to work with standard thermocouples and thermopiles, provided the mounting bracket and flame direction align with your specific appliance requirements.

Does this kit support both Natural Gas and Propane?
The assembly is set up for Natural Gas from the factory, but a Propane (LP) orifice is included in the package for manual conversion during installation.

What is the purpose of the included adapter?
The adapter allows contractors to transition between the older 2CH threaded thermocouple connection and the modern 2C snap-in style, making this a truly universal pilot kit for older systems.
