Pilot Controls

The 1830 Series Pilot Uni-Kit ® models are designed to be used with all Robertshaw® and most competitive thermocouples. Uni-Kit models include an adaptor that converts a threaded thermocouple/thermopile model 2CH to a snap-in thermocouple type, model 2C.

The 1830-700 Series Pilot Uni-Kits ® are designed for use with the OEM-style Pilot Ignition systems. The electrode is permanently riveted to the pilot frame and the spark gap is fixed at 1/8 . These pilots can be used to replace existing pilot assemblies or for retrofitting standing pilot applications when an exact replacement is desired. Each Uni-Kit comes with a natural gas orifice installed and a separate L.P. gas orifice. Pilot tubing size is 1/4".

The Robertshaw® Universal 2BLC Pilot Uni-Kit ® is designed to replace the obsolete Model 2B/2BLC Pilot which is no longer in production. The kit includes fittings for 1/4" tubing and an adaptor and fittings to adapt to 3/16" tubing. Each kit comes with a Natural gas orifice installed and includes a separate LP Gas orifice. The 1810-100 is an aerated, constant burning pilot for main burner ignition. When used with the Robertshaw® 1980-1970 Series or similar thermocouples, it provides a heat source for the thermo-electric automatic pilot magnet.

The Robertshaw® 1800 Pilot Series quick dropout pilot assembly is designed for those applications (usually LP Gas) that require a quick dropout of the safety magnet when pilot flame is lost.

The Robertshaw® 1820 Series Pilot Uni-Kit ® models are designed to replace hard-to-find ITT-General PG9 type pilots. A special 1/4 tubing adaptor is typically provided with nut and ball sleeve. Uni-Kits are available with and without a 32 (810mm) thermopile.

The Robertshaw® 712 Series Intermittent Pilot Ignition System Kit features flame rectification with solid-state logic and flame sensing to provide automatic sequencing that will ensure proper operation of an intermittent pilot ignition device. The 712 pilot ignition systems are available with one of four different gas valve types to fit a wide range of furnace applications. Caution: Do not use on LP gas applications.

The Robertshaw® 780 Series Pilot Controls feature flame rectification with solid-state logic and flame sensing to provide automatic sequencing that will ensure proper operation of an intermittent pilot ignition device. When the thermostat calls for heat, the 780 series control simultaneously initiates ignition sparking and opens the pilot valve portion of the gas valve. Pilot flame recognition stops ignition sparking and opens the main valve portion of the gas valve. Pilot burner flame is continuously monitored at a synchronous frequency for the duration of the heating cycle. Should the pilot flame fail during the heating cycle, the control will shut off the main valve until the pilot flame is established. The Robertshaw 780-845 lockout ignition control provides 90 seconds of spark, followed by a six minute time delay (purge) between ignition attempts. If the pilot flame is not sensed after three tries, the control goes into a one-hour lockout period. At the end of the lockout period, if the demand for heat is still present, the unit will repeat the three tries for ignition.

The Robertshaw® 785 Series Automatic Pilot Relight Kits are designed for use on rooftop heating equipment, water heaters, boilers, space heaters, unit heaters, dryers, and other commercial, industrial, and residential appliances where the problem of pilot outage may occur. It should only be applied to those systems which already incorporate the necessary pilot-safety control system.

The Robertshaw® Pilot Orifices are used as replacement parts in Robertshaw pilots and pilot assemblies.
