Rheem AP14318C-1, LP Pilot Assembly

This Rheem Pilot Assembly is a crucial component designed for use with liquid propane (LP) gas water heaters. It is responsible for igniting the gas in the burner assembly, which in turn heats the water within the tank. The product features a thermocouple and spark electrode, both of which are integral to its operation. The thermocouple acts as a safety device that shuts off the gas supply if it detects an absence of flame, while the spark electrode generates sparks to ignite the LP gas. This pilot assembly is compatible with select models of Rheem's water heaters, ensuring optimal performance and safety.
