A reliable pilot is a must for any gas-operated appliance, as a faulty or failing pilot can stop most appliances in their tracks and render them unusable. The Empire Gas Pilot Assembly is a durable and highly effective pilot assembly that can be quickly and easily installed without a drawn-out process. The pilot is available in your choice of either natural gas or propane operation, enabling you to have the ideal fuel type for your needs.

Customer Q&A with Product Specialists

Kevin I. from Massachusetts asked:
My Empire natural gas log model VFSV-18RSN won't light. The pilot lights when I hold the button, but it won't stay lit. I suspect it's the thermocouple/thermopile, as the unit is 14 years old. Do you recommend just replacing the thermopile, or should I also purchase the R5170 pilot assembly? I'm unsure of the specific part number for the thermopile. Thanks!

Empire typically offers a full replacement pilot assembly/ODS, and individual thermocouples/thermopiles may not be available separately. Please provide your shipping zip code, and I can check the pricing and availability for the R5170 pilot assembly.

Empire Gas Pilot Assembly: Easy Install & Great Results!

The Empire pilot assembly was straightforward for my contractor to install. The pilot light is reliable, and the fireplace works perfectly, providing efficient and consistent heat for my living area. This product was well worth the purchase.
