Description
The Bard HVAC 8554-025BX is an OEM replacement flame sensor designed for use in Bard heating and HVAC equipment. Featuring a .114-inch diameter Kanthal rod, this sensor delivers dependable flame detection performance to ensure safe and efficient burner operation.
Product Overview
Flame sensors are a critical safety component in gas-fired heating systems. The sensor rod detects the presence of a flame through the principle of flame rectification — allowing a small electrical current to pass when a flame is present, signaling the ignition control board that combustion is confirmed. If no flame is detected, the control board shuts off the gas valve to prevent unsafe conditions.
