1. INTRODUCTION
This Instruction Manual contains a description of the type SureFire II™ SP-48-NG/PG-FD gas pilot construction,
operation principle and the instructions for installation, start-up and service, including the industrial health & safety
recommendations.
The SP-48-NG/PG-FD-xxx (48 mm outer diameter, NG - Natural Gas or PG - Propane Gas or LPG, FD - Forced
Draught) gas pilot is a reliable and effective source of ignition for oil and gas burners.
A sample of Pilot Part Number for Natural gas is "SP-48-NG-FD-xxx", for Propane gas is "SP-48-PG-FD-xxx"
where "-xxx" is the insertion length "L" from 0.5 to 3.0 metres (see Appendix 1 – the pilot capacity vs. gas pressure
graphs for Natural gas and Propane). For other Fuel gas types or capacity ranges – see p. 11 Ordering Information
for Special Pilots Part Numbering approach.
The pilot is constructed of high quality materials and each unit is checked and tested before dispatch.
Acquaintance with the following instructions and strict attention to the indications reduce the possibility of
equipment failure to a minimum and ensure safety during normal operation.
2. OPERATION PRINCIPLE AND TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
Unit construction provides
air. No moving parts ensure long, trouble-free operation with low maintenance costs.
SureFire II™ Pilot
SP-48-NG/PG-FD can operate as an intermittent (light-off), or as a continuous pilot.
Gas pilot type SP-48-NG/PG-FD.

INTRODUCTION This Instruction Manual contains a description of the type SureFire II™ SP-48-NG/PG-FD gas pilot construction, operation principle and the instructions for installation, start-up and service, including the industrial health & safety recommendations.
- Page 2 The orifice-stabilizer assembly is optimized for Natural gas or Propane gas/LPG. In case of other Fuel gas type or other capacity needed contact Fireye as this may need the pilot construction changes - see p. 11 for Special Pilots. Thanks to this principle of design, the pilot combustion zone is protected, the main combustion zone is outside the pilot, hence the air tube does not overheat and there is no need for retraction of the ignition device rod.
- Page 3 8,000 VAC at primary supply 230VAC or 110 VAC. Using the Fireye High Tension Igniter, the end of the rod tip should be placed at a distance of 10 mm back from the swirler-stabilizer (see Fig.1). In case of the High Energy Spark Igniter, the rod tip should be placed further back ~ 50 mm back from the swirler-stabilizer.

Material used for pilot construction all parts: 304/316 SS and heat-resistant steel 310/330 Notes: 1. If the above parameters are different than those required please contact Fireye 2. For Imperial Units please refer to the Appendix 4 Unit Conversion Table 3. -
Page 5: Installation
® 7. INSTALLATION During the installation, all components have to be protected from impact or bending. WARNING: DURING PILOT INSTALLATION THE RECOMMENDATIONS IN THE APPENDIX 2 SHOULD BE STRICTLY OBSERVED. SP-48-FD pilot’s air tube can be welded directly to the burner plate, or placed in the mounting tube (see Fig. 2). It should be noted that the distance from the gas head with mounting ring to the burner plate should be not less than 150 mm and insertion depth cannot exceed the “L”... - Page 6 ® Gas part assembly and air tube should be fastened by the mounting ring thread joint. Ensure that the ring gasket is correctly fitted in the gas head seat (see Fig. 4). The complete pilot (air tube) can be inserted into the mounting tube. In order to make the air tube slide-in easier, apply a small amount of high temperature resistant grease.
- Page 7 ® 8. PILOT START-UP, OPERATIONAL TESTS Before proceeding with the start-up and operational tests of SP-48-NG/PG-FD pilot check the following: 8.1 Gas and air installations are correctly mounted, tight and functionally checked, including: valves, flaps, strainers, fittings and joints (flanged and screwed), control and interlock devices. 8.2 Gas and air connections to the pilot are made in accordance with the above instructions and the assy drawing.

Page 9: Inspection And Maintenance
® 10.1 INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE SP-48-FD pilot because of its simple design does not require complicated maintenance procedures. Checking and cleaning of gas tube and orifice-stabilizer assembly: Close the manual gas valve and disconnect the pilot gas line. Disconnect the ignition rod electric supply cable. Unscrew the mounting ring. - Page 10 ® 11.2 In case of air tube wear or damage: – if air tube or mounting ring has to be replaced - order a replacement air tube (with mounting ring) of length “L” – prices on request only, – if just the end of air tube is eroded - cut 200 mm of the tube tip, order and weld spare part P/N SP-48-END - replacement air tube end, length 200 mm, SS310/330.
