Our Verdict
This product is a replacement pilot assembly. It is not a space heater.
It restores broken pilots in vent-free gas heaters from Empire, DESA, Comfort Glow, and Glo-Warm. The ODS sensor adds a key safety layer by cutting gas flow when oxygen gets too low.
At $18.99, it costs far less than replacing an entire heater unit. You get a repair part that covers 8 Empire models and over 10 part numbers.
The 33-inch thermocouple wire is longer than the standard 18 to 24 inch leads. That extra length makes installation easier in tight wall heater spaces.
What We Like
- Replaces over 10 part numbers including R6307, 503329, 098244-01, and 110803-01.
- Fits 8 Empire vent-free heater models including the SR-30T and BF-30.
- Built-in ODS sensor shuts off the gas pilot when oxygen drops too low.
- Dual-wire thermocouple lead measures 33 inches for flexible routing during install.
- Works across four heater brands: Empire, Comfort Glow, DESA, and Glo-Warm.
What Could Be Better
- This is a replacement part only. It does not heat a space on its own.
- No tip-over protection is included in this assembly.
- No thermostat control. Temperature management depends entirely on the host heater unit.
- No timer or remote control functionality.
- Listed as designed for LPG propane appliances, which limits compatibility with natural gas heater setups.
