Rheem-Ruud 62-22832-03 Pilot Orifice
When you are performing a furnace LP conversion or addressing low millivolt output on a standing pilot system, the Rheem-Ruud 62-22832-03 Pilot Orifice is the exact OEM component required for precision gas metering. Engineered for liquid propane (LP) applications, this 0.008-inch diameter orifice ensures a stable, consistent pilot flame necessary for reliable thermocouple or thermopile immersion. As a genuine Rheem replacement part, it maintains the precise BTU input specified by the manufacturer, preventing the common issues of pilot lifting or soot accumulation often found with mismatched aftermarket alternatives.
For service technicians, having the correct HVAC replacement parts on hand is critical during emergency calls. This gas furnace pilot orifice is specifically designed to fit Robertshaw-style pilot assemblies used extensively across Rheem and Ruud residential heating units. Utilizing a genuine OEM repair part ensures the component meets strict factory tolerances for thread pitch and flow rate, allowing for a seamless pilot assembly repair and ensuring the system operates at peak safety and efficiency standards.
Key Benefits:- Precision Metering: Specifically calibrated with a .008" LP pilot orifice size for accurate liquid propane flow.
- OEM Compatibility: Designed as a direct fit for Rheem and Ruud pilot assemblies, eliminating fitment guesswork.
- Enhanced Reliability: Provides a stable flame pattern for consistent ignition and high-integrity sensor feedback.
- Industrial Build Quality: High-grade construction resists heat-cycling fatigue and corrosion within the burner box.
- Can this orifice be used for Natural Gas systems? No, this 0.008 diameter orifice is strictly sized for liquid propane (LP). Using it with natural gas will result in an inadequate pilot flame.
- Does this fit all Rheem furnaces? It fits models utilizing specific Robertshaw pilot burners. Always verify your model and serial number against the Rheem-Ruud 62-22832-03 part number.
- Why is the orifice size so specific? The 0.008" opening is critical to maintain the correct gas-to-air ratio for LP, preventing carbon buildup on the pilot hood.
