ERP ER780-715 Appliance Pilot Assembly | Replaces 780-715, SP715A, SP715U

Gas Heating Intermittent Pilot Ignition Control For: Robertshaw 780-715, SP715, SP715A, SP715U

Safety first: Installation must be performed by a qualified gas-service technician. Isolate electrical power and fuel before service, never bypass flame-safety controls, and complete required leak, ignition, and combustion checks before returning the equipment to service.

Restore automatic pilot ignition with this ERP replacement 24VAC intermittent-pilot ignition control cross-referenced to Robertshaw 780-series controls. This control sparks the pilot, proves flame by rectification, and opens the main gas valve on the call for heat; when it fails, the system may spark but never light, light but lock out, or ignore the thermostat. It is a non-lockout control rated at a maximum combined load of 1.5 A, and it is for natural gas applications only; do not apply it to LP gas. Confirm the exact flame-sensing arrangement and control revision before ordering.
