Robertshaw 41-411 Hot Surface Ignitor
The Robertshaw 41-411 Hot Surface Ignitor is a high-performance silicon carbide igniter engineered for precision ignition in residential and commercial HVAC systems. Designed as a 120V gas furnace ignitor, this component is the direct replacement for 106-1411 and serves as a universal ignitor solution for a wide range of forced-air furnaces, boilers, and unit heaters. Utilizing high-purity recrystallized silicon carbide (Crystar), this unit provides exceptional thermal strength and stable electrical resistance, reaching necessary ignition temperatures within 17 seconds. This model is a non-nitride replacement, featuring a legacy Style B ceramic block and a Type C terminal connector for straightforward installation. To ensure long-term reliability in high-temperature environments, the 18-gauge nickel chrome lead wires are protected by fiberglass insulation rated for 392°F, preventing electrical failure due to thermal stress or vibration.
Key Benefits for Technicians:- Universal Compatibility: Serves as a furnace ignitor cross reference for numerous OEM brands including Rheem (62-22868-82), Trane (IGN0054), and Norton (271N).
- Rugged Construction: Recrystallized silicon carbide material ensures high physical integrity and consistent hot surface ignition cycles.
- Simplified Wiring: Includes 4.5-inch lead wires with pre-installed flat plug-in connectors (Type C) to reduce field modification time.
- Thermal Protection: High-temperature fiberglass insulation prevents lead wire degradation and shorting within the burner box.
- Can I use this to replace a silicon nitride igniter? No, the Robertshaw 41-411 is a silicon carbide component and is not a direct substitute for nitride-style igniters without specific control module validation.
- Does this include mounting hardware? Yes, the 41-411 igniter kit typically includes a gasket and necessary mounting adapters to match Style B ceramic block requirements.
- How do I test the resistance? Using a multimeter, a healthy silicon carbide igniter should typically read between 40-75 ohms at room temperature; 0 ohms or infinite resistance indicates a crack or burnout.
