Rheem-Ruud AP14317J-3 Pilot Assembly Natural Gas

The Rheem-Ruud AP14317J-3 Pilot Assembly in Natural Gas is a critical component of HVAC systems, particularly gas-powered heating units. This assembly is made of sturdy brass and is intended to light the main burner with a steady, dependable flame. This pilot assembly ensures optimal operation in a variety of environmental circumstances with a temperature range of -20°F to 150°F. When the thermostat senses a need for heat, the pilot assembly ignites the gas flowing to the main burner by releasing a little, steady flame. The pilot flame is watched to make sure it stays lit as a safety measure. The safety mechanism will interrupt the gas flow once the spark blows out in order to stop leaks.
