Robertshaw 1820-029 Pilot

The Robertshaw 1820-029 Pilot is a heavy-duty, aerated PG9 replacement pilot Uni-Kit engineered for high-performance ignition in both natural gas and LP applications. Designed as a universal solution for hard-to-find ITT-General PG9 type pilots, this assembly features a 90-degree right-hand flame pattern to ensure precise burner ignition in tight furnace or boiler vestibules. As a pro-grade HVACR pilot burner, it includes both natural gas and liquid propane orifices, allowing for seamless field conversion without the need for additional parts. The non-linting characteristics of this aerated pilot reduce nuisance outages caused by dust accumulation, maintaining a stable flame signal for either thermocouple or thermopile monitoring. With an integrated 1/4-inch tubing adapter, technicians can utilize existing pilot lines without the need for cutting or re-flaring, streamlining the replacement process on aging equipment. This 1820 Series pilot is the standard choice for contractors requiring a reliable, versatile ignition component that meets the rigorous demands of commercial and residential heating systems.

Key Benefits

• Broad Compatibility: Functions as a direct universal replacement for the ITT-General PG9 series, supporting diversified equipment fleets.
• Dual-Fuel Versatility: Ships with both natural gas and LP orifices included, enabling immediate adaptation to site-specific fuel requirements.
• Optimized Flame Geometry: The 90-degree right-hand angle provides consistent ignition overlap for cleaner light-offs and operational efficiency.
• Simplified Installation: The included 1/4-inch adapter and nut/ball sleeve assembly eliminate the need for specialized tubing tools or line modifications.
• Non-Linting Design: Aerated pilot technology prevents debris buildup, substantially reducing maintenance callbacks for pilot failure.

Common Questions

• Does this unit come with a thermopile? This specific model is a 'Pilot Only' kit. It is designed to accommodate your existing thermocouple or thermopile, but these sensors must be ordered separately if a replacement is needed.
• Can I use this for a vertical gas inlet? The 1820-029 is optimized for specific mounting; however, the Uni-Kit series is designed to be versatile. Always verify the physical orientation and bracket clearance of your specific PG9 replacement.
• Is conversion between burner gases difficult? No. The kit includes the necessary orifices for both fuel types, allowing you to swap components during the installation to match the appliance's gas supply.
