Ruud AP14700D-1 Water Heater Pilot Assembly Replacement

The Ruud AP14700D-1 is a factory replacement pilot assembly intended for use on compatible Ruud gas water heaters.

Ruud AP14700D-1 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What does the Ruud AP14700D-1 pilot assembly actually do on a gas water heater?
The AP14700D-1 is the pilot assembly: the small burner and ignition component that produces and sustains the standing pilot flame that lights the main gas burner. It is a Ruud OEM service part, and it is one of the first things a tech swaps when a heater's pilot won't stay lit or won't ignite reliably.
2) My water heater pilot keeps going out. Is replacing the pilot assembly the right fix?
A worn, fouled, or malfunctioning pilot assembly is a common cause of a pilot that won't stay lit or won't ignite reliably, and the AP14700D-1 is the Ruud service part for that replacement. Follow the service documentation for the specific heater when doing the swap, since other components in the ignition circuit can cause the same symptom.
3) Is the Ruud AP14700D-1 an OEM part or an aftermarket pilot?
OEM. The AP14700D-1 is sold under the Ruud brand as a direct replacement component for Ruud-manufactured gas water heaters, which keeps the repair consistent with the original equipment design rather than relying on a generic pilot.
4) Is this a part worth carrying on a plumbing service truck?
Yes, for shops that service Ruud gas water heaters. Pilot assemblies are a routine-failure item on standing pilot heaters, and the AP14700D-1 is listed for residential gas water heater service, pilot light troubleshooting, and routine maintenance by licensed plumbers and HVAC techs, which is exactly the van-stock profile.
5) Does the AP14700D-1 come in different versions or sizes I need to pick from?
No options to specify. The pilot assembly is sold as the single model AP14700D-1, so the only decision is whether that part number is the one your Ruud heater calls for.
