Overview
This OEM hot surface igniter (Tempstar part #1172533) is the ignition source for your Tempstar T9UHX080J16A2 gas furnace. On each call for heat the control board energizes the HSI, which glows red-hot to ignite the burners. It is one of the most common furnace wear items — repeated heat cycling makes the element brittle until it cracks and stops glowing. This listing covers the OEM hot surface igniter; it is the gas-valve-paired ignition assembly used with the VR8205S snap-mount valve (1175705) on this furnace platform. When the igniter fails you'll get a furnace that runs the inducer and blower but never lights the burners.

Installation Guide
- Safety First — Disconnect power at the furnace switch and breaker, then verify zero voltage with a multimeter. Handle the igniter element by its bracket only — never touch the silicon element.
- Access — Remove the burner compartment service panel.
- Document — Photograph the igniter bracket position and wire harness routing before disconnecting.
- Remove — Unplug the igniter connector, remove the mounting screw(s), and carefully lift the old igniter clear of the burner.
- Install — Position the new igniter at the correct distance from the burner, secure the bracket, and reconnect the harness per your photo.
- Test — Restore power and run a heat cycle; confirm the igniter glows bright and the burners light promptly.
