Ideal Flame Detection Electrode 173529 Replacement

The ideal flame detection electrode 173529 detects the burner flame and confirms safe combustion so the boiler can keep running. If the electrode is dirty, worn, or damaged, it may fail to sense the flame and cause lockouts, the boiler firing then stopping, or intermittent heating and hot water. Replacing it with the correct electrode is a reliable fix that restores stable flame detection and helps reduce nuisance shutdowns.
