The Maxon 37160 Spark Ignitor is a high-performance 6-inch spark ignitor assembly designed specifically for direct spark ignition in industrial burner systems. This heavy-duty component features a nichrome spark ignitor with a integrated spark disk, making it a reliable OEM replacement part for critical combustion environments. Compatible with the Maxon APX burner series (0.5 through 5.0 APX) and Kinemax 3-G and 4-G gas burners, it ensures precise fuel-to-air ignition by intersecting the mixture directly at the nozzle face.

Engineered for longevity, the assembly includes a specialized protective rubber cover (Part #18722) that shields the porcelain insulator and electrical connections from moisture and contaminants in temperatures up to 450°F (232°C). The technical profile includes a 1/2" OD ceramic tip with a 3" immersion length, transitioning to a 1/2" NPT pipe thread for secure mounting. This industrial-grade ignitor is essential for maintaining safety and operational efficiency in commercial heating applications, including boilers, kilns, and furnaces where consistent 10,000V to 15,000V spark generation is required.

Key Benefits:
  • Universal Burner Compatibility: Specified for use in Maxon APX and Kinemax medium velocity burners.
  • Enhanced Insulation: Includes a high-temperature rubber cover to prevent grounding issues caused by dirt or moisture.
  • Precision Ignition: Optimized 6" overall length with a 3" nichrome tip ensures the spark occurs exactly within the burner's ignition zone.
  • Rugged Construction: Built with industrial ceramic and nichrome materials to withstand high-cycle thermal stress.
  • Direct OEM Fit: Standard 1/2" NPT mounting thread allows for fast, drop-in replacement during maintenance windows.
Common Questions:
  • What are the physical dimensions? The Maxon 37160 features a 6-inch total length, a 1/2" NPT thread, and a 1/2" diameter ceramic section that is 3 inches long.
  • Which burners use this ignitor? It is common in Maxon APX models (0.5 to 5.0) and Kinemax series G industrial boilers and furnaces.
  • Is the rubber cover included? Yes, the 18722 rubber cover is provided to protect the porcelain housing from ambient debris and moisture.
  • Can I use this for pilot ignition? This assembly is primarily engineered for direct spark burner configurations where the ignitor lights the main burner directly.
