A.O. Smith 9005886215 Flame Rod Kit

The A.O. Smith 9005886215 Flame Rod Kit is reliably used in gas-fired heating equipment and HVAC systems, including water heaters and boilers. A thin metal is used to sense the flame in the burner area. In this technique, it makes use of tiny electrical current when it is in contact with the flame. If there is no flame, the rod closes the position of the gas valve thereby avoiding accumulation of gas and subsequent explosions. Some of the advantages include; safety is improved through reduction of gas leakage and a guarantee of proper ignition. Flame rod replacement guarantees proper functioning of your water heater or boiler and saves you from expensive repairs.
