Fenwal 05-129887-036 Ignition Cable

  • $37.00


The Fenwal 05-129887-036 is a 36-inch high-voltage ignition cable engineered for robust performance in demanding HVACR environments. Designed to deliver 15KV to 25KV of spark energy from the ignition control to the electrode, this 36-inch ignition wire ensures consistent burner lighting in water heaters and central heating systems. Unlike standard retail leads, this Fenwal replacement part features a professional-grade 1/4-inch female quick-connect terminal with a fully insulated design to prevent voltage leaks and ensure peak dielectric strength. Maintaining the recommended maximum 36-inch length is critical for preserving maximum spark energy and operational integrity. HVAC technicians rely on this gas furnace ignition cable for its high-temperature resistance and reliability in high-cycle ignition sequences. Whether you are performing a routine service or a complete system overhaul, this component serves as a direct Fenwal 05-129887-036 replacement for standard direct spark ignition (DSI) setups.

Key Benefits
  • Maximum Spark Transfer: Optimized 36-inch length ensures the full 15K-25K volt delivery required for reliable HVAC ignition.
  • High-Temperature Durability: Engineered with materials capable of withstanding the thermal stresses common in furnace and water heater combustion chambers.
  • Professional-Grade Insulation: Features a fully insulated 1/4-inch female QC terminal to eliminate arcing and electronic interference (EMI).
  • Universal Compatibility: Designed for seamless integration with Fenwal Series 35 control modules and various DSI heating systems.
Common Questions

What is the maximum recommended length for this ignition cable?
Industry standards recommend keeping high-voltage ignition cables at or below 36 inches, like the Fenwal 05-129887-036, to prevent significant spark energy loss and ensure consistent burner ignition.

Can I use this cable for remote flame sensing applications?
Yes, while primarily used for spark delivery, this cable is technically compatible with systems requiring high-voltage transmission for flame rectification, provided the terminal dimensions match your electrode set.

Does this cable include the silicone rubber boot?
This specific model features a fully insulated 1/4-inch female quick-connect; always verify your specific electrode terminal type to ensure a snug, arc-free connection during installation.
