This high-quality flame sensor rod is an essential safety component designed for gas-fired furnaces and heating systems. Specifically engineered for use in Ruud and Rheem HVAC equipment, this part monitors the burner flame to ensure safe operation. When the burner ignites, the rod detects the presence of the flame; if no flame is sensed, the system automatically shuts off the gas valve to prevent hazardous gas buildup. Over time, original sensors can become coated in carbon or oxidize, leading to furnace short-cycling or ignition failure. Replacing a worn flame sensor is a vital part of routine furnace maintenance to ensure your heating system remains reliable and efficient during cold weather.
