Water Heater Pilot Assembly Pulaim Metal Alloy Part 100112330

Description

Product Overview

The Pulaim 100112330 pilot assembly is engineered as a precise, drop‑in replacement for a wide range of residential water heaters. Designed to match original equipment specifications, it fits Whirlpool, A.O. Smith, Kenmore, American, State, and Reliance models that use part numbers 1100112330, 9007876, 9007877, and related identifiers. The assembly combines a pilot valve, thermopile, and ignition components into a single, compact unit, simplifying the repair process and reducing the chance of installation errors.

Crafted from a high‑grade metal alloy, the pilot assembly offers superior corrosion resistance compared with standard brass or plastic components. This material choice not only prolongs the service life of the part but also maintains a stable thermal conductivity, ensuring the thermopile generates sufficient voltage to keep the gas valve open during operation. The alloy’s durability helps the assembly withstand the high‑temperature, high‑humidity environment inside a water heater’s combustion chamber.

Key specifications include a weight of just 6.4 ounces and dimensions of 5.9 x 4.7 x 0.5 inches, making it easy to handle and install without special tools. The package contains one pilot assembly (part number 100112330) and a compatible thermopile (part number 9007876), providing everything needed for a complete replacement. The product is backed by a one‑year warranty, reflecting confidence in its build quality and performance.

Installation typically requires shutting off the gas supply, draining the tank, and removing the old pilot assembly. The new unit bolts directly into the existing mounting bracket, and the thermopile connects to the gas valve with a standard screw terminal. After reassembly, the system is tested for proper ignition and stable flame, ensuring reliable hot water delivery for the homeowner.

Usage

This pilot assembly is ideal for homeowners, property managers, and professional plumbers who need a dependable solution for water heater repair or upgrade. It works in both electric‑ignition and standing‑pilot water heaters, making it versatile across a broad spectrum of residential installations. Whether you are replacing a failed pilot due to age, corrosion, or intermittent flame loss, the Pulaim assembly restores full functionality quickly.

Because the part is compatible with multiple brands and model lines, it is especially useful in multi‑unit buildings where different manufacturers may be present. The robust metal alloy construction tolerates the frequent on‑off cycling typical of high‑usage environments such as rental properties, hotels, and small commercial facilities that rely on continuous hot water.

When installing, ensure the gas line is properly sealed and the venting system is clear to prevent back‑draft. The assembly’s design includes a built‑in flame sensor that monitors flame presence, automatically shutting off gas flow if the flame extinguishes, thereby enhancing safety. This feature aligns with modern safety codes and provides peace of mind for occupants.

FAQ

What water heater models are compatible with this pilot assembly?

The assembly fits a broad range of models from Whirlpool (e.g., N30T61‑303, N40T61‑403), A.O. Smith (GS6‑300, GCV‑300), Kenmore, American, State, and Reliance series. It replaces part numbers 1100112330, 9007876, 9007877, and similar references. Always verify the specific model number on your heater to ensure exact compatibility.

Can I install the pilot assembly myself, or do I need a professional?

While the part is designed for straightforward installation, it involves working with gas connections and venting. If you are comfortable shutting off the gas supply, draining the tank, and following safety procedures, a DIY installation is feasible. However, many homeowners prefer to hire a licensed plumber to guarantee compliance with local codes and to avoid potential safety hazards.

What does the one‑year warranty cover?

The warranty covers any defects in materials or workmanship that arise under normal use within twelve months of purchase. It does not cover damage caused by improper installation, misuse, or external factors such as water quality issues. If a covered defect occurs, contact our support team for a replacement part.

How do I know if my pilot assembly needs replacement?

Common signs include frequent flame loss, a yellow or sputtering flame, the water heater failing to ignite, or a noticeable drop in hot water temperature. If you observe any of these symptoms, inspect the pilot assembly for corrosion, cracks, or loose connections. Replacing the assembly often resolves these problems.

Is this part suitable for propane water heaters?

No. This pilot assembly is designed for natural‑gas water heaters only. Propane units require a different pilot assembly with specific pressure ratings. Using this part in a propane system could lead to unsafe operation and void the warranty.
