Maxon 34043 Spark Ignitor

The Maxon 34043 Spark Ignitor is a critical ignition component engineered for high-demand industrial burner systems, specifically optimized for the OvenPak II 400 burner series. As a veteran technician knows, reliable light-off is the backbone of process heating. This gas burner spark igniter features a 9.25-inch overall length (OAL) with a 9.3-inch ceramic body, designed to withstand the extreme thermal cycling common in industrial ovens and furnaces. Its 1/2-inch NPT threads and 13/16-inch hex head ensure a secure, leak-free mechanical fit into the mounting plate, while the included red rubber boot protects the high-voltage connection from moisture and contaminants.

Precision-engineered for Maxon burner parts compatibility, the 34043 utilizes a high-energy discharge to ensure consistent gas ignition, effectively replacing older or failing industrial ignition electrodes. The rugged alumina ceramic insulator prevents voltage tracking, even at higher operating temperatures. Whether you are performing routine maintenance or a full system rebuild, using this genuine OEM-spec Honeywell Maxon assembly minimizes troubleshooting time related to flame signal loss and failed start-ups. It is designed to function seamlessly with standard ignition transformers to provide a stable spark gap for consistent performance.

• Specifically designed for OvenPak II 400 burners to ensure precise spark placement.
• Features standard 1/2-inch NPT thread for straightforward integration into existing gas trains.
• Durable 13/16-inch hex design allows for high-torque installation without damaging the ceramic body.
• High-temperature ceramic insulation prevents electrical leakage and improves ignition reliability.
• Includes protective red rubber boot to shield electrical leads from harsh industrial environments.

What is the thread size for the Maxon 34043?
This ignitor uses a standard 1/2-inch NPT thread to mount directly into the burner housing.

Can the 34043 be used as a flame rod in Maxon systems?
While functionally similar in construction to some flame rods, the 34043 is specifically gapped and insulated for spark ignition service in OvenPak II systems.

How do I troubleshoot a weak spark on this unit?
Ensure the porcelain is clean of carbon deposits, verify the ignition transformer is outputting correct voltage, and confirm the rubber boot is securely seated on the terminal.
