Heil Quaker ICP 1171247 Flame Retainer

The Heil Quaker ICP 1171247 Flame Retainer is a critical OEM replacement part engineered for high-performance combustion stabilization in oil-fired furnaces and boilers. As a seasoned technician, you know that a compromised retainer leads to poor air-fuel mixing, erratic flame patterns, and reduced thermal efficiency. This genuine ICP flame retainer measures approximately 13-1/2" x 5-3/4" and is precision-stamped with a 5-opening configuration to ensure the exact static pressure required for a stable, clean burn. It is designed to fit a wide range of International Comfort Products brands, including Heil, Tempstar, Comfortmaker, and Arcoaire, specifically supporting models like the PGE090 and PGE102 series. By maintaining the correct vortex and air turbulence at the burner head, this component prevents soot buildup and protects the combustion chamber from uneven heat distribution. When replacing this unit, always verify your air tube combination and burner head alignment to lock in peak CO2 levels and minimize smoke during the ignition cycle.

• Universal ICP Compatibility: Direct-fit for Heil, Quaker, Tempstar, and KeepRite systems, ensuring OEM-spec performance.
• Enhanced Combustion Stability: Optimizes the air-fuel ratio to prevent flame lift-off and noisy ignition cycles.
• High-Temperature Durability: Engineered from heavy-duty materials to withstand the intense radiant heat of the burner flame.
• Efficiency Restoration: Helps maintain AFUE ratings by ensuring a concentrated, high-temperature flame pattern.

What causes a flame retainer to fail?
Repeated thermal expansion and contraction can eventually warp the metal, while delayed ignition or "puff-backs" can physically distort the openings, ruining the airflow dynamics.

Can I use a generic retainer instead of the 1171247?
Using a non-OEM retainer can disrupt the static pressure balance of the burner. This specific ICP part is calibrated for the air tube diameter and nozzle spray patterns of listed Heil and Quaker models.

Does this part include mounting hardware?
This SKU typically covers the flame retainer itself. We recommend inspecting your existing brackets and fasteners for heat damage during teardown and replacing them if they show signs of fatigue.
