A.o. Smith 100109294 Pilot Assembly 160F Propane Lp

Product Description

The A.O. SMITH 100109294 is a flammable vapor (FV) pilot assembly designed for propane (LP) water heater applications with a 160 degrees F temperature rating. This pilot assembly serves as the ignition source for the main burner in LP-fired water heaters equipped with flammable vapor ignition-resistant (FVIR) technology. It is a direct OEM-style replacement component installed by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians during routine maintenance or burner system repair. The 160 degrees F rating reflects the thermal cutoff threshold built into the FV safety system, which shuts down the pilot if flammable vapors are detected near the unit.

This pilot assembly is intended for propane-fueled residential water heaters that incorporate flammable vapor ignition-resistant design. It is suited for units installed in garages, utility rooms, or other areas where flammable vapors may be present at floor level. Installers working on LP water heater burner systems will find this assembly appropriate for service calls involving failed ignition, pilot outage, or FV lockout conditions. It is a heating-application component suited to residential service environments.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas appliance technician. Shut off the gas supply and allow the unit to cool completely before disassembling the burner compartment. Work must comply with applicable local gas codes and the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC) where adopted. Do not attempt to bypass or defeat the flammable vapor sensor during installation or testing.
