Nordyne 1046593 Hot Surface Ignitor 120V G6

The Nordyne 1046593 Hot Surface Ignitor is an essential part in HVAC systems of the contemporary gas furnaces that are manufactured with specific reference to G6 series. In its capacity as a hot surface ignitor, it does away with the conventional standing pilot light, which is not only less efficient, but also less safe. This part uses a 120V electrical current to heat a resistive material such as silicon carbide or silicon nitride to a very high temperature, usually red hot. When the thermostat demands heat, this electrical current is applied on the ignitor so that it will heat up very quickly.
