On a call for heat the ignition control sends voltage to the electrode, which arcs across its gap to ignite the gas as it reaches the burner. The same electrode (or a paired sensing electrode) confirms a flame is present so the control keeps the gas valve open. Because the electrode tip sits directly in the burner flame, the ceramic insulator and metal rod degrade over time from heat cycling, cracking, carbon buildup, and erosion of the gap. A worn electrode produces weak or no spark, causing failed ignition, delayed ignition with a rollout puff, or short-cycling lockouts. Maintaining the correct gap and a clean, intact insulator is essential for reliable light-off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOEM Part Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1179966\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDirect Spark Igniter Electrode\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eICP \/ Heil \/ Tempstar\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFunction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpark Ignition \/ Flame Sensing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOEM Replacement\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for the ICP\/Heil\/Tempstar RGS240HFEA0AAAA furnace and matching RGS240 platform burners that use a direct-spark ignition system.
