Quick overview
- Natural gas only This is the natural gas assembly. The propane version is a separate Pentair part, so match the fuel your heater runs on.
- Ignition wire included The wire comes with the assembly, so there is no second part to chase down.
- Fits three heater families Used on the Pentair MiniMax Commercial, MiniMax Plus and PowerMax heaters.
- IID ignition Built for the intermittent ignition device system rather than a millivolt standing pilot.
- Genuine Pentair Factory part 471204, the same assembly the heater left the plant with.
- Fixes a heater that will not light A fouled or failed pilot assembly is one of the first things to look at when the burner never gets a flame.

Product details
The Pentair 471204 is the natural gas IID pilot assembly for MiniMax Commercial, MiniMax Plus and PowerMax pool heaters. It is the genuine Pentair part and it ships with the ignition wire.
What it does
On an intermittent ignition device heater the pilot assembly is where ignition happens. It carries the spark that lights the pilot and the sensing that tells the control the flame is present. When it fouls, corrodes or fails, the heater goes through the motions and never lights, or it lights and then drops out on flame loss.
Before you order
Match the fuel. This is the natural gas assembly, and the propane version is a separate Pentair part number. Confirm your heater is one of the MiniMax Commercial, MiniMax Plus or PowerMax models, and note that the ignition wire is already included so you do not need to buy it separately.
