Robertshaw 1820-039 Pilot Assembly Only

The Robertshaw 1820-039 Pilot Assembly Only is a precision-engineered aerated pilot burner solution, specifically designed as a universal gas pilot replacement for the hard-to-find ITT-General PG9 series. Tailored for specialized furnace and boiler applications, this unit features a 90-degree left-hand flame pattern to ensure efficient ignition and flame stability in tight combustion chambers. As a non-linting aerated pilot, it minimizes maintenance by preventing debris buildup that common atmospheric pilots face, maintaining a consistent flame for reliable thermopile or thermocouple heating.

This HVAC pilot assembly kit is engineered for versatility in the field, compatible with both Natural Gas (NG) and Liquid Propane (LP) systems. The kit includes both gas orifices and a 1/4" tubing adapter with a nut and ball sleeve, allowing for seamless integration without the need for additional cutting of original tubing. Designed for Robertshaw 1820 series compatibility, it provides a stable pilot flame to power safety circuits in gravity-fed and forced-air heating systems where a left-hand burner orientation is required by the original equipment manufacturer.

Key Benefits

• Universal ITT-General PG9 Replacement: Specifically built to replace obsolete PG9 type pilots while maintaining OEM-level performance.
• Left-Hand Flame Orientation: High-accuracy 90-degree left pilot tip configuration ensures proper alignment with the main burner for rapid ignition.
• Dual Fuel Compatibility: Includes interchangeable orifices for Natural Gas and Propane applications, reducing inventory requirements for service tech vans.
• Aerated Non-Linting Design: Features advanced aeration to ensure a clean, stable blue flame that resists the "linting" issues which often cause pilot outages.
• Direct Tubing Integration: The provided 1/4" adapter kit ensures a secure, leak-free connection to existing pilot gas lines.

Common Questions

Does this assembly include a thermopile or thermocouple?
No, the 1820-039 is the pilot burner assembly only. If your existing thermopile or 2CH series thermocouple is faulty, it must be ordered separately or as part of a full Uni-Kit.

Can I use this for both Natural Gas and Propane furnaces?
Yes, this unit is supplied with both NG and LP orifices. Ensure the correct orifice is installed based on the fuel source of the equipment to ensure safe and efficient combustion.

Is this compatible with electronic ignition systems?
This specific model is a stationary pilot burner used in standing pilot systems. However, similar 1820 series frames are available with spark electrodes if your system utilizes intermittent pilot ignition.
