HOT SURFACE IGNITERS
FY Series

The Surfaceigniter FY family of hot surface igniters is a uniquely designed igniter often used in sealed combustion heating applications. Two ceramic bushing lengths, a long and a short, enable the FY igniter to be inserted to varying depths within a burner cavity. For many OEMs of sealed combustion systems, secondary gaskets can easily be added to the flange to ensure the integrity of the sealed unit.

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 in the burner cavity. For nonsealed combustion systems, the flange and screw holes of the FY igniter make it an excellent choice for "drop-in" or mount from below applications.

The FY family of igniters uses the same high quality silicon carbide as our other igniters. 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.

To further meet your needs, wire lead types, lengths, and terminations can be also specified to fit your application.
