Is the 100108373 compatible with LP/Propane systems?
No, this specific assembly is designed and calibrated strictly for natural gas. For propane applications, a dedicated LP pilot assembly or conversion kit is required to ensure correct orifice sizing and pressure regulation.
What are the signs that my current pilot assembly needs replacement?
Common indicators include a weak or lifting pilot flame, frequent ignition failure (E02 or similar error codes), or physical oxidation and carbon buildup on the assembly that prevents proper flame rectification.
Does this assembly include the pilot tubing?
This is the complete PB-5S pilot assembly kit; however, it is standard practice to inspect existing pilot tubing for kinks or blockages and replace it if the integrity of the line is compromised.
