Resideo Q313A1170 Thermopile Generator
The Resideo Q313A1170 Thermopile Generator is a critical replacement component for self-powered gas control systems, specifically designed to convert thermal energy from a pilot flame into low-voltage electrical energy. This heavy-duty 750 millivolt thermopile operates with an open circuit output range of 600mV to 750mV, providing the consistent DC voltage required to hold the safety magnet open in millivolt-actuated gas valves. With an internal 2.89 Ohms resistance, it ensures optimal current flow and minimal voltage drop under load. The unit features 35-inch fiber-insulated leads terminated with spade terminals for secure integration into the wiring harness. This model is the direct professional replacement for Q313A1170/U and Q313A1402, ensuring drop-in compatibility for gas fireplaces, floor furnaces, and commercial fryers. The inclusion of the PG9 adapter and 1/2-inch attaching nut allows for versatile mounting across various pilot burner configurations, maintaining stable alignment and heat transfer.
Key Technical Benefits:
- High Output Performance: Provides a reliable 750mV thermopile output to ensure consistent valve operation in millivolt gas control systems.
- Broad Compatibility: Serves as a universal thermopile replacement for legacy Honeywell and Resideo pilot assemblies.
- Simplified Installation: Features 35-inch lead length and a spade terminal connection to accommodate various appliance depths and control board layouts.
- Complete Hardware Kit: Ships with the PG9 adapter and mounting hardware to facilitate secure mechanical coupling to the pilot burner.
- Reliable Resistance: Fixed 2.89 Ohms resistance prevents the common nuisance tripping associated with lower-quality aftermarket sensors.
Common Technical Questions:
What causes a low millivolt reading on the Q313A1170?
Low voltage is typically caused by insufficient pilot flame impingement on the upper third of the thermopile or carbon buildup on the element body. Ensure the pilot flame is steady, blue, and fully enveloping the tip of the generator.
Can this thermopile replace a 2-wire thermocouple?
No. A thermocouple generates approximately 30mV for safety shutoff, whereas the Resideo Q313A1170 is a self-powered gas valve power source generating 750mV. These components are not interchangeable due to the extreme difference in voltage output.
Is the PG9 adapter necessary for all installations?
The PG9 adapter is required only if the pilot burner bracket utilizes a threaded connection rather than a friction-fit or clip-style mounting point. It is included to ensure this gas fireplace thermopile is compatible with a wider range of OEM pilot burners.
