Rheem-Ruud SP12144 Flame Sensor

The Rheem-Ruud SP12144 Flame Sensor is used to establish the existence of flames in gas-run heating and cooling equipment for example furnaces. This particular flame sensor has a temperature range of -22°F to 176°F and is crucial to safe and effective operation. The detector for flames identifies the presence of flames to provide safety measures. If the ignition sensor is unable to detect the flame at the correct time it sends an alert to shut the valve that releases gas and thus halts the expulsion of unburned gas. This essential measure of safety is useful to avoid possible dangers for the HVAC systems and the environment around it.
