Questions about this item
Does the 120 V AC input voltage limit the igniter to standard household circuits?
Yes, the igniter is rated for 120 V AC operation and is designed for typical residential furnace power supplies.
What lead length and probe length must the furnace cavity accommodate?
The lead wire is 5 1/4 in long and the probe extends 2 in, so the mounting area must accept those dimensions.
How is the plug-in electrical connection installed, and what common mistake should be avoided?
Align the plug with the furnace harness and press firmly until seated; the frequent error is forcing the connector without verifying keyway orientation, which can bend pins.
