Bradford White 233-46278-03 Pilot Assembly
The Bradford White 233-46278-03 Pilot Assembly is a high-performance Spark Ignition Pilot Assembly engineered specifically for technical compatibility with Liquid Propane (LP) gas water heaters. This genuine OEM replacement part features the White Rodgers 16/18/0.010 fvir configuration, making it the standard choice for 40, 50, and 75-gallon units. As a veteran-grade water heater pilot assembly, it integrates a durable spark igniter and a precision-calibrated thermocouple to ensure reliable ignition sequences and flame rectification within the combustion chamber. Replacing obsolete or worn parts like the 233-42280-03, this assembly is vital for troubleshooting "no hot water" calls and ensuring the FVIR (Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant) safety system functions correctly. Designed for professional HVAC/R contractors, the assembly includes the pilot burner, mounting bracket, and essential leads, providing a drop-in fit for Bradford White PV and PDX series water heaters that utilize electronic gas control valves. Performance and safety are paramount; this assembly maintains the factory specifications required for efficient burner operation.
Key Benefits:
- Optimized Ignition: The integrated spark igniter ensures consistent LP gas ignition, reducing lockout errors in electronic control systems.
- Exact OEM Fit: Guaranteed technical compatibility with Bradford White 233-46278-03 specifications, eliminating the risk of mismatched orifice sizing.
- Enhanced Safety: Built to meet FVIR technology standards, ensuring the pilot and burner operate safely within sealed combustion environments.
- Rugged Build Quality: High-grade thermocouple and burner materials withstand continuous thermal cycling for long-term operational stability.
Common Questions:
Is this pilot assembly compatible with Natural Gas units?
No, the 233-46278-03 is specifically calibrated with an LP (Liquid Propane) orifice. Installing this on a Natural Gas unit will cause improper combustion and safety hazards.
What models does this part fit?
It is primarily used in Bradford White PDX and PV series power vent water heaters (40, 50, and 75-gallon capacities) that require a spark-to-pilot ignition system.
Does this replace the 233-42280-03?
Yes, the 233-46278-03 is the modern factory-authorized replacement for the older 233-42280-03 pilot assembly, offering the same technical footprint and performance.
