Ordered this kinda blind for my A. O. Smith water heater. Fit inside water heater perfect, Leads were a little long, but a CAREFUL loop about 3 inches wide on them, and I was able to get them hooked up fine, and covered with the shroud. Came with replacement gasket, and helmet as well as a filter (not needed on mine). So far excellent, thanks.

when our water heater stopped working I was afraid I would have to spend over 150 to have it fixed. I was happy to see this assembly available and for a reasonable price. Came with instructions, new gasket and filters. It looks as if it may be refurbished, but that was okay with is for 30+ bucks. And it works like new. Very pleased. Installation took maybe a half an hour

The water heater would not remain lit. Cleaning the thermocouple did not help. The t/c has a small disk-shaped device that a standard replacement t/c does not have. The local hardware store said the device is a resistor and we had to replace the entire burner assembly at a cost of $285 if we wanted the resistor. But most plumbers say you can replace it with a standard t/c. The 'resistor' is in fact a high temperature switch. The heater has a sealed combustion chamber, with the air coming through a filter, that can plug and cause a lazy flame condition. The high temp switch is to shut off the gas if this occurs. The Reliance assembly allowed us to make a proper repair for about $35.

Initially, researching a fix for my water heater lead to purchasing a complete burner unit running $100+. Then I found this pilot module for much less and it was all I needed to replace. Works great!

Looks just like the original part, went together with no issues, was a definite problem with the hot water tank.
