Rheem-Ruud 62-22868-93 Hot Surface Ignitor

The Rheem-Ruud 62-22868-93 Hot Surface Ignitor is an essential component used in the enhancement of the ignition process in the gas operated HVAC equipment. In the case of the hot surface ignitor when a current passes through the surface it heats to a high degree. It is through this effect that the system creates a glowing element in the burner so as to hasten the process of burning the gas. After the gas ignites the ignitor only works during the next heating cycle when the gas has been turned off. This ignitor is designed to fit a number of Rheem and Ruud heating systems to make sure that your furnace or heater is working optimally and is energy efficient. The benefits of using this product include better ignition dependability, reduced risk of failed ignitions and improved overall system performance.
