Product Overview

The Pentair 471292 Natural Gas Millivolt Pilot Assembly is a service replacement part used in compatible MiniMax-family heater ignition systems. Pentair parts documentation identifies this SKU specifically as the pilot, natural gas, millivolt, confirming that the SKU and product title match the same item. Pentair references also separate it from the propane millivolt pilot, which uses part number 471291, so the fuel type is an important part of correct fitment.

This part is best suited for repair situations where the heater remains otherwise serviceable but the original pilot assembly has become unreliable or damaged. Current references tie it to MiniMax 75 and 100 heaters, MiniMax CH models, and MiniMax Plus millivolt applications, making it a model-family-specific ignition component rather than a universal heater pilot. For pool and spa service professionals maintaining compatible natural gas millivolt heater systems, the 471292 fills an important role in restoring dependable startup and normal heater ignition performance.
