Why Replace Your Flame Rod?
Over time, flame rods can become coated with oxidation or carbon deposits, reducing their ability to pass the microamp signal required for flame verification. A failing flame rod can cause repeated ignition lockouts, nuisance service calls, and potential safety issues. Replacing with a genuine OEM part restores reliable performance and extends equipment service life.
