Description
The Bradford White 104000011-K is a genuine OEM flame rod designed as a direct replacement for compatible Bradford White water heaters. The flame rod plays a critical role in the burner safety system, detecting the presence of a burner flame and signaling the control system to confirm safe ignition. If the flame rod fails to sense a flame, the control will shut off the gas valve to prevent unsafe operation — making this a key safety and performance component.

Why Replace Your Flame Rod?
Over time, flame rods can become coated with oxidation or carbon deposits, reducing their ability to conduct the small electrical current used to sense the burner flame. A degraded flame rod can cause intermittent lockouts, no-heat calls, or repeated ignition failures. Replacing the flame rod with a genuine Bradford White part restores reliable ignition performance and extends the service life of the water heater.
