Bradford White 233-50195-01 Water Heater Pilot Assembly

Product Description

The BRADFORD WHITE 233-50195-01 is a replacement pilot assembly designed for Bradford White water heaters. The pilot assembly generates and maintains the small continuous flame required to ignite the main burner in a standing-pilot gas water heater. Without a functioning pilot, the thermocouple circuit cannot hold the gas valve open, resulting in a no-heat condition. This part is installed by licensed plumbers and gas service technicians during routine maintenance or when diagnosing pilot outage faults on Bradford White gas water heater units.

This pilot assembly is specified for use with Bradford White model U2TW75 and UTW475S water heaters. These are residential gas water heater models that use a standing pilot ignition system. The 233-50195-01 is a direct OEM replacement, ensuring proper fit and function within the original burner assembly without modification. Technicians replacing a failed thermocouple, pilot orifice, or pilot hood should confirm this part number against the unit data plate before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas service technician in accordance with local codes and the appliance manufacturer instructions. Shut off the gas supply to the water heater and allow the unit to cool before beginning disassembly of the burner and pilot components. Confirm gas supply is fully off and the pilot flame is extinguished before disconnecting the pilot tube, thermocouple lead, and igniter wire. After installation, follow the lighting instructions on the water heater label and leak-test all gas connections with an approved detector solution before returning the unit to service.
