Utica-Dunkirk 550002282 Spark Ignitor

The Utica-Dunkirk 550002282 Spark Ignitor is a vital OEM replacement part engineered for high-efficiency boiler ignition systems. Designed specifically for compatibility with DKVLT series boilers, including models DKVLT-150NG, DKVLT-200NG, and DKVLT-299NG, this component ensures precise electrode alignment and consistent spark generation. As a critical failure point in high-demand heating cycles, replacing a scorched or fouled boiler ignitor with this genuine SSC Ignitor restoration kit prevents lockout codes and intermittent firing issues. The assembly features an insulated electrode and flame rod, optimizing signal strength for the furnace control board and maximizing fuel efficiency during the startup sequence. This direct-fit replacement eliminates the geometry issues common with generic aftermarket parts, maintaining the integrity of the combustion chamber seal and providing reliable residential heating performance throughout the season.

Key Benefits:

• DKVLT Series Compatibility: Precision engineered for Utica-Dunkirk DKVLT-150, 200, and 299 natural gas models.
• High-Energy Output: Delivers a consistent high-voltage arc to ensure immediate fuel ignition and reduce unburned gas cycles.
• Integrated Flame Sensing: Features a flame rod configuration to provide accurate millivolt feedback to the ignition control board.
• Industrial Build Quality: Constructed with high-temperature ceramics and durable electrode materials to withstand intense thermal cycling.
• Safety Optimized: Includes an insulated electrode to prevent grounding issues and ensure safe installation for field technicians.

Common Questions:

Is the 550002282 compatible with LP (Propane) models?
While this part is standard for NG (Natural Gas) DKVLT units, always verify your specific orifice and gas valve configuration, as ignition requirements can vary between fuel types.

Why is my boiler showing an ignition lockout even after cleaning the old ignitor?
Micro-cracks in the ceramic insulation or oxidation on the electrode can cause current leakage. Replacing with a new Utica 550002282 is the standard protocol to restore the factory-specified spark gap and signal strength.

Does this kit include the mounting gasket?
Technicians should inspect the existing seal during teardown; using a genuine OEM replacement kit ensures the flange dimensions match original factory specifications for a pressure-tight fit.
