HOT SURFACE IGNITERS
FT Series

The Surfaceigniter family of igniters incorporates a unique bushing design traditionally used for commercial rooftop applications. An optional flame probe is also available and can be integrally mounted in the ceramic bushing. This provides a convenient alternative to a separate flame rod eliminating the need for a secondary access hole or mounting assembly.

Made of silicon carbide, our spiral igniters combine longer usable life, greater physical strength, lower power consumption, and superior gas lighting ability. Increased life and strength result from our unique reaction bonding process, which produces a higher density silicon carbide. This higher density reduces internal oxidation a cause of igniter aging and failure. Our manufacturing process and efficient double helix design enable the Surfaceigniter to draw less current, thereby operating at lower temperatures and lasting longer than competitive 120-volt igniters.

As with all of our products, wire lead types, lengths, and terminations can also be specified to fit your application.
