Rheem-Ruud 62-22864-82 Pilot Assembly

The Rheem-Ruud 62-22864-82 Pilot Assembly is a critical OEM replacement part engineered for high-performance gas furnaces and water heaters. As a standing pilot assembly, this kit ensures a consistent ignition source for the main burner, maintaining system stability in demanding residential and commercial environments. This ProTech pilot burner kit comes versatile out of the box, featuring a factory-installed natural gas (NG) orifice and an included liquid propane (LP) orifice (part 62-22832-03) for seamless field conversion.

For technicians troubleshooting ignition failures, this assembly includes a high-sensitivity pilot thermocouple designed to provide rapid millivolt response to the gas valve, ensuring safe operation and preventing hazardous gas buildup. Built with durable materials to resist soot accumulation and oxidation, the 62-22864-82 pilot assembly is the professional choice for restoring the original factory specifications of your Rheem-Ruud HVAC equipment. Whether you are dealing with a fluctuating flame or a pilot that refuses to stay lit, this comprehensive kit provides the precision air-fuel mixture required for optimal combustion efficiency.

• Multi-Fuel Compatibility: Includes both natural gas and propane orifices to accommodate different fuel requirements on the job site.
• Complete Replacement Kit: Comes with the pilot burner, thermocouple, and necessary compression fittings for a prompt installation.
• Reliable Safety Interface: The integrated thermocouple ensures precise flame sensing to prevent unburned gas from entering the combustion chamber.
• Precision Flame Stability: Engineered to maintain a steady, blue pilot flame, reducing service callbacks related to nuisance outages.
• Direct OEM Fit: Guaranteed compatibility with Rheem, Ruud, and ProTech gas-fired appliances, eliminating the risks associated with universal "will-fit" parts.

Is this pilot assembly compatible with propane systems?
Yes. While the natural gas orifice is pre-installed, a liquid propane (LP) orifice is included in the package. You must swap the orifice during installation if the appliance runs on propane to ensure proper BTU output and flame characteristics.

What should I check if the pilot flame is yellow or weak after installation?
A yellow flame typically indicates insufficient primary air or a contaminated pilot orifice. Ensure the assembly is mounted securely and that the gas pressure aligns with the equipment’s manifold specifications. Always verify that the thermocouple tip is fully engulfed in the flame to generate sufficient millivolts.

Does this kit replace older Rheem pilot assemblies?
The 62-22864-82 is a direct replacement for several legacy part numbers, including 62-22864-01 and the AS-61749-01 series. Always confirm your specific model number against the manufacturer’s parts list to verify the correct standing pilot configuration.
