There is no doubt that this will fit a Robertshaw gas fireplace
According to what I understand, they are somewhat the same I have replaced two, and they were of a different manufacture, but looked the same.
My understanding is that the Robertshaw number is 1950-1960, but I am not an expert. In my opinion, you are right regarding 018.
Compared with other thermopiles available on the market, this one seems to be universal. The valve you are using must be of the

The pilot assembly for a Rheem performance platinum water heater was rebuilt using this kit. The brass sleeve at the back of the thermocouple body is too thick and cannot fit the pilot assembly tube that comes off the shelf. There was no option other than grinding Approximately 45mm is the circumference of the sleeve. This repaired pilot assembly works just fine with the common Honeywell gas valve, and Rheem sells the complete assembly for $250. As you can see in an attached photo, the crown fits perfectly and the length of the body is close to being exactly correct when inserted. It is possible to purchase OEM from amazon for about $65 but I felt that 15 minutes of tweaking was worthwhile. If you want to grind the brass sleeve uniformly, place the thermocouple body in a drill chuck and hold 120 grit sandpaper in your other hand. When turning the drill, you should hold it The process will take between 8 and 10 hours To grind the sleeves sufficiently, it takes about ten minutes.
It fixed my issue quickly and was of excellent quality! I had a 12 year old gas fireplace with a thermopile that failed. I needed a replacement quickly. researching a few options, I decided to give this one a try, and I was blown away by how well As soon as I had the old one out, I had no problem installing the new one, and it worked flawlessly (better than the original, actually). The following is a brief summary of my thoughts In addition, the unit had been well packaged and was ready to be installed directly after My fireplace's functionality has been restored after the thermopile was installed, generating the proper voltages and adding function to it. There are no visible cracks or dents in the part. It was a great purchase! I am very happy with it!.
The heat is too much for me It has been over 13 years since I checked my glow fireplace, but it would not turn on. It lights up the pilot, but the fireplace doesn't light. Based on some research, I found that this condition is often caused by a faulty thermopile. Thermopiles typically last for about 10 years. About 15 years old. If you take the voltage with a voltage meter with the pilot lit (heat causes the voltage), this is an easy way to check. Old one was producing about 197 millivolts, it should be in the area of 500 to 600 millivolts a day There are 750 millivolts in the circuit. Having installed the new one in 45 minutes, let it warm up, and then measured the voltage, it was already set First time in three years, I flipped the switch on the fireplace, and it began to burn. Fortunately, I now have a fireplace for the winter after a fireplace repair technician could not come out until February 1st.
Most of them fail within days of installation, but they are cheap, it is easy to buy two, they are small except for those that are actually too big for the pilot assembly, of which about a half fail to meet this requirement. Let me know when you get a chance to meet up after you save a buck by buying this junk and driving yourself crazy by trying to follow some idiot on YouTube (who doesn't know anything). If you are working on the fireplace, search for all the things you SHOULDN'T do to it before you start. It should fill up lots of pages, but I know Looking forward to seeing you in the near future.
My vent thermopile was damaged and I replaced it I got this fireplace for free since I was able to troubleshoot it. By switching on the wall switch, the fireplace fired right up and has been running perfectly ever Just by the service call alone I was able to save over $100. Using some pliers, I lifted the old thermopile out of the oven. It should pop right out once the bracket is pryed open. Compared with my old one, this new one has a little bit bigger diameter, but a quick drilling was required to widen the bracket hole, and I am back in business.
Since my previous pilot generator did not keep a flame, I replaced it with this one. When it was replaced, the pilot still did not light. Thus, I checked the voltage the solenoid is generating and no matter what I did, it never went higher than 500mv, which is not sufficient Make sure what you buy is something that will work instead of wasting time and money. It is unfortunately not possible for me to return it due to time and my efforts to get it working. I hate it when that happens.
This thermopile replaced the one I was using before as my original thermopile was not able to reach 600mv. As soon as it reaches 300mv, this thermopile will be opened. The situation is not good. It is important for me to provide warm water to my children.
A technician who diagnosed it did not do a good job. It appears to be a thermostat or temperature limiter issue, so they had to be replaced. The program does not work after testing it. After further diagnosis, it turned out to be the thermopile. It was replaced and tested, and now it works again!.
