CS8800 Water Heater
Pilot Burner Assembly
APPLICATION
The CS8800 Pilot Burner Assemblies provides standing
pilot ignition of the main burner and power for the
WT8800 control module and VT8800 valve. The CS8800
is a primary aerated pilot burner.
On some models a temperature cut out switch (TCO) is
provided to sense a clogged flame arrestor or a
flammable vapor incident. When the TCO opens, the
power to the control is interrupted and pilot goes out.
There are separate LP and natural gas models.
The CS8800 Pilot Burner was designed for gas fired hot
water tank heating applications.

Can cause injury or death due to asphyxiation.
1. Use this pilot burner on vented appliances only.
2. Replace pilot burner with same exact part
number. If equipped with a TCO switch, it must
be installed in the location provided on the pilot
burner. If the TCO switch is mounted on the
appliance, connect the thermopile leads to the

Can cause property damage, severe injury
or death.
Follow these warnings exactly:
1. Avoid dangerous accumulation of fuel gas by
turning off gas supply at the appliance service
valve before starting the installation procedure.
2. Perform the Gas Leak Test (see page 2) after
the completion of the installation.
3. Do not bend pilot tubing at the gas control or
pilot burner after the compression nut is
tightened. Gas leakage at the connection can
result.
Follow the appliance manufacturer instructions if
available; otherwise, use the instructions provided below.
Location
1.
Position the pilot burner for easy access and
observation. In replacement applications, replace
the pilot burner with an identical unit and position
the new pilot burner in the same location and
orientation as the original pilot burner. If the model
has a TCO, position and attach the TCO in the
exact location as the original TCO. If the model has
terminals to connect a TCO, connect the TCO.
2.
Mount the pilot burner on the main burner. See
Fig. 1. Mounting surfaces other than the main
burner can shift, bend, or warp as the water heater
tank expands and contracts during operation.
