Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100110196 Pilot Burner

The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100110196 Pilot Burner is a critical OEM replacement component designed for high-performance natural gas water heaters and boilers. Engineered to meet the exacting standards of White Rodgers ignition systems, this natural pilot burner (E44576) ensures a stable and consistent ignition source for I.I.D. (Intermittent Ignition Device) model heaters. As a veteran technician, you know that maintaining precise millivolt output and flame rectification is non-negotiable for system safety and efficiency. This assembly is manufactured to handle the rigorous thermal cycles of commercial and residential gas train operations, preventing nuisance lockouts and ignition failure codes.

When performing a pilot assembly replacement, verify that your manifold gas pressure aligns with the heater’s rating plate, typically requiring 4.5" W.C. for natural gas. The 100110196 is built for durability, featuring a robust bracket design that maintains the thermocouple or flame sensor in the optimal strike zone of the pilot flame. This genuine A.O. Smith part ensures seamless compatibility with existing gas lines and mounting hardware, eliminating the "fitment headache" often found with universal aftermarket alternatives.

• OEM Precision: Guaranteed 100110196 pilot burner fitment for Lochinvar and A.O. Smith I.I.D. units, ensuring factory-spec performance.
• Reliable Ignition: Designed specifically for natural gas applications to provide a stable flame for spark-to-pilot ignition sequences.
• Rugged Construction: Built with high-grade materials to resist sooting and thermal degradation in high-duty cycle environments.
• System Safety: Ensures proper flame signaling to the ignition module, preventing hazardous unburnt gas accumulation.

Is this pilot burner compatible with liquid propane (LP) units?
No, the 100110196 is specifically configured for natural gas. Using it with LP without the correct orifice will result in improper combustion and potential safety hazards.

What are the signs that a pilot burner needs replacement?
Common indicators include a sagging or weak pilot flame, difficulty establishing a flame rectification signal, or visible corrosion on the burner hood that disrupts the flame pattern.

Does this include the orifice?
This is the pilot burner assembly; always verify your existing pilot orifice size and condition during installation to ensure the BTU input matches the manufacturer’s specifications.
