HeatilatorSit Top Mount Fireplace Pilot Assembly Natural Gas

I recently purchased a Jotul 200 that's almost 20 years old. It was configured for Natural Gas. I needed to convert it to propane. The top mount pilot light assembly would not pull off. The original was very baked/rusted. This was a complete direct fit replacement. Looks exactly like the original. Be sure to warm up the pilot light fuel tube prior to bending. Never bend more than once in the same location. It's a very thin tube that can kink and reduce its performance. Would recommend.

worked with JotulGF600DV. Spark lighter didnt work out of the box, but I could see the spark so maybe its just the design is bad. Easy enough to start fireplace with bbq lighter once per year.

Perfect fit for replacement

Gets the thermocouple and thermopile hot, like it should. It was about a 1/4" higher than my old one so I had to relocate the rear log bracket to move it off the unit. Hope it lasts as long as my old one (17 yrs) because these things are a mild pain in the butt to access and install. Word of advice: if you have one item that's not working (thermopile, thermocouple or pilot), just replace the entire 3 piece unit. Don't be cheap with a piecemeal replacement and find later you need to replace something else.

We had been struggling for a couple of years with our wonderful Jotul gas fireplace not always coming on when we flicked the switch. This November (2020) it finally quit for good. I did a little research and found out what part I needed to replace. There were many different brands but none that were branded "Jotul". Based on previous reviews I purchased the Heatilator. Once I got the old set of controls off our stove and compared it to the Heatilator, it turned out to be a perfect match down to the location of the holes that attach it to the stove body. All four on the connections - to the electrical contacts, to the gas feed for the pilot light, to the thermistor and to the second gas feed for the burner ignition - they all fit perfectly. I am guessing that there is a standard for all stoves of this type regardless of brand. (Which is a good thing. ) Anyway, I highly recommend this product. It was an hour and a half job, mostly because I have never done this before. Otherwise it might take a half hour, especially if you have the smallish wrenches to get the gas feeds unscrewed instead of the cumbersome adjustable wrench I was using.

Our electric fireplace controls finally died. Took10 - 20 times to start the darned thing, and we were afraid of an explosion, etc. Called the repairman, he wanted $460, but the diagnosis was only $25. After going back and forth, I got this unit and even though it took a little elbow grease to replace the old one, the fireplace fired first time with this replacement! Quality replacement part, def recommend!

Worked great on a Monessen CDVR36NV natural gas insert from around 2008. According to the manual this would work on more models too. I think some cheaper replacements would have worked but this looked like better quality. Also get some fire blocker caulk.

The media could not be loaded. We have a Jotul free standing gas fireplace in our large bathroom which otherwise is freezing on cold Rochester NY winter mornings. We turn the gas and pilot off when warm weather returns. The high moisture from shower and bath use rusts out the pilot assembly about every two years. We could prevent that by keeping the pilot on year round but prefer to shut it down. When it rusts and won’t light the stove, I replace it at an online part cost of about $140. I install itThis Heatilator unit is EXACTLY the same part at half the price!
