York S1-9880A0161 Pilot Burner

The York S1-9880A0161 Pilot Burner is a precision-engineered LP Gas Pilot Burner designed for critical ignition sequences in residential and commercial York HVAC equipment. This specific component is the high-performance replacement for legacy model S1-9880-0111 and is identical in form and function to S1-9880A-0161. Built for liquid propane applications, it provides the stable, consistent pilot flame necessary to ignite the main burner, ensuring efficient heat transfer and preventing safety lockouts caused by weak ignition signals. Constructed with high-grade materials to resist thermal degradation in the combustion chamber, it features standard fittings for direct integration into existing burner assemblies. As a veteran-grade OEM replacement part, it eliminates the compatibility risks associated with universal pilots, maintaining the specific BTU requirements and clearance profiles demanded by York furnaces. Technicians should verify manifold pressure and orifice alignment during installation to ensure optimal flame impingement on the flame sensor or thermocouple.

• Direct OEM Replacement: Ensures exact fitment and replaces discontinued model S1-9880-0111 without field modifications.
• LP Gas Compatibility: Specifically calibrated for Propane (LP) systems to ensure correct combustion and flame stability.
• Enhanced Durability: Robust construction designed to withstand continuous pilot operation and high-temperature environments.
• Reduced Downtime: Reliable ignition reduces nuisance service calls and furnace ignition failures.
• Precision Engineering: Maintains strict performance standards for York pilot ignition assemblies.

Is the S1-9880A0161 compatible with Natural Gas systems?
No, this specific part is designed for LP Gas (Liquid Propane) applications. Using it in a Natural Gas furnace without the proper orifice conversion can lead to improper combustion and safety hazards.

Are S1-9880A0161 and S1-9880A-0161 the same part?
Yes, these part numbers are identical. The hyphenated version is often used in manufacturer catalogs, but they are the exact same York pilot burner component.

What are the symptoms of a failing pilot burner?
Common signs include a weak or yellow flame, difficulty lighting the main burner, soot buildup on the burner head, or the furnace frequently cycling off due to flame rectification issues.
