Robertshaw 10-224 Electrode Only

The Robertshaw 10-224 is a professional-grade flame sensor electrode designed for precision ignition in intermittent pilot and direct spark systems. Engineered for high-temperature environments, this component features a 4-inch Kanthal sensor rod capable of withstanding operational temperatures up to 1800°F (982°C). To assist with field adaptability, the rod can be cut or bent to match various OEM configurations, making it a versatile replacement flame sensor for multiple manufacturers. The assembly includes 30 inches of Teflon-insulated lead wire rated for 482°F (250°C), terminating in a standard 1/4-inch quick connect for rapid field installation. As an HVAC replacement part, it ensures reliable flame rectification and signal feedback to the ignition control module, preventing nuisance lockouts in gas-fired furnaces, boilers, and commercial appliances. Its corrosion-resistant construction is specifically designed to maintain electrical conductivity and signal integrity throughout the heating season, ensuring the safety and efficiency of gas combustion systems.

• Universal compatibility: The 4-inch Kanthal rod is field-adjustable, allowing it to function as a universal flame sensor for diverse heating applications.
• High-heat durability: Specifically engineered to survive extreme 1800°F environments without material degradation or loss of flame rectification signals.
• Superior insulation: Provided with 30 inches of high-grade Teflon-coated wiring to prevent short circuits and resist thermal breakdown in tight furnace cabinets.
• Simplified integration: Utilizes a common 1/4-inch terminal for secure connection to existing Robertshaw ignition systems and control boards.

Common Questions

Can I use the Robertshaw 10-224 as a substitute for other brands?
Yes, the 10-224 is a frequent cross-reference for various OEM flame rods. The rod is designed to be bent or trimmed to meet the exact geometry of the original sensor.

What causes a flame sensor like the 10-224 to fail?
Most failures are due to carbon buildup or oxidation on the rod surface, which insulates the sensor and disrupts the millivolt signal back to the gas valve controller.

How do I ensure the sensor is positioned correctly?
The electrode must be positioned so that the pilot or burner flame fully engulfs the rod to establish a proper ground path for the rectification current.
