Heil Quaker ICP 1173829 Ignitor

The Heil Quaker ICP 1173829 Ignitor is a critical OEM replacement part designed for high-efficiency gas furnaces and heating systems. This spark ignitor with flame sensor combination provides reliable ignition by generating a high-voltage arc to light the burner, while the integrated sensor monitors flame rectification to ensure safe operation. Built with high-temperature resistant materials, this unit features a 19-inch lead length and a 2-inch ceramic block, making it a drop-in replacement for Heil, Tempstar, Arcoaire, and Comfortmaker units. As a technical professional, you know that keeping a clean flame sensor is vital for preventing nuisance lockouts. This ICP 1173829 assembly eliminates the need for separate components, streamlining your service calls and ensuring the IFC (Integrated Furnace Control) receives accurate feedback. Whether you are troubleshooting a furnace not heating or performing a seasonal tune-up, using genuine ICP parts maintains the manufacturer's specified sequence of operations and prevents combustion issues.

• Integrated Design: Combines the spark electrode and flame sensor into a single assembly for faster installation and precise positioning.
• Durable Construction: Engineered with high-purity ceramic and 18-gauge nickel chrome lead wires to withstand extreme thermal cycling.
• Broad Compatibility: Fits a wide range of 40-inch legacy furnaces and modern platforms under the International Comfort Products umbrella.
• Safety Monitoring: Ensures reliable flame detection to prevent gas valve operation in the event of an ignition failure.

Does this ignitor require a specific gap for the spark?
Yes, maintaining the manufacturer-specified spark gap is essential for reliable ignition and to prevent premature wear on the ignition module or control board.

Can I clean the flame sensor portion of this assembly?
If the furnace is short-cycling due to poor flame signal, the sensor rod can often be cleaned with a fine abrasive pad to remove carbon buildup before opting for a full replacement.

Is this a 120V or 24V component?
This 1173829 spark ignitor operates as part of a high-voltage ignition system; always verify the output from your specific furnace control board during troubleshooting.
