161156 Pilot Burner Assembly 38 Deg Angle 15" Thermocouple Replacement for Suburban SW6P SW10P Series RV Water Heater

The 161156 Pilot Burner Assembly is a genuine replacement component designed for Suburban SW Series propane water heaters in RVs, campers, and trailers. This assembly features a 38-degree angle design and comes with an integrated 15-inch thermocouple, providing a complete drop-in solution for restoring reliable pilot ignition in your RV water heating system

• This pilot burner assembly is designed specifically for Suburban SW Series pilot-ignition water heaters (not DSI/electronic ignition models). It is confirmed compatible with the following Suburban water heater models: SW6P, SW6PE, SW6PR, SW6PER, SW10P, SW10PE, SW10PR, and SW10PER
• Pilot burner design at the 38-degree orientation: Engineered with a specific angled configuration to align correctly with the burner assembly inside Suburban SW Series water heaters
• Robust and Durable Construction: The pilot assembly is manufactured from stainless steel, supplemented by a 15 ”copper thermocouple and 17” aluminum tubing, and is specifically engineered to withstand vibration, humidity, and high-temperature conditions commonly encountered in RV environments
• The pilot burner assembly delivers a small, controlled propane flame that serves as the standing pilot light. This standing flame continuously heats the thermocouple tip, which generates a small electrical current (millivolts) that holds the main gas valve open. When the water temperature drops below the set point, the main burner ignites off this standing pilot flame to reheat the water
• Wide Compatibility – Suitable for many RV furnaces and water heaters. This assembly is typically needed when your RV water heater exhibits the following symptoms: Pilot light will not ignite or stay lit, Difficulty lighting the pilot even after bleeding air from the gas lines, Pilot flame is weak, yellow, or unstable, Main burner fails to ignite even when the pilot remains lit, Intermittent water heater operation due to a failing thermocouple
