Common Questions:

Which furnace models will this pilot assembly fit?
The York S1-9849-0161 is a versatile OEM replacement part frequently used in York and Coleman 7655-856 series units and other standing-pilot gas furnaces. Always verify the cross-reference on your specific model’s data plate.

Does this kit include the orifice for LP conversion?
Yes, the assembly comes equipped with a .011 orifice and necessary clips, making it suitable for standard 1/4" tubing connections in natural gas and propane (LP) systems.

Why is my pilot flame weak or frequently going out?
Weak flames are often caused by a clogged pilot burner or a worn orifice. Replacing the entire S1-9849-0161 assembly restores the correct flame geometry required for proper thermocouple sensing.
