Beckett Igniter 17000 Rocket Kit
The Beckett 17000 Rocket Kit is a field-proven ignition system upgrade designed for Beckett AF, AFG, and NX residential oil burners. This solid-state electronic igniter provides a consistent, high-voltage spark to ensure reliable combustion, even in cold-start conditions or systems with lower atomization efficiency. Unlike traditional copper-wound transformers, this unit is engineered to resist voltage sag and moisture infiltration, extending the service life of the cad cell flame sensor and reducing carbon buildup on the nozzle assembly. The kit includes all necessary mounting hardware and wiring harnesses for a direct OEM replacement, making it a critical stock item for technicians servicing oil fired furnaces and boilers. Its compact, lightweight design minimizes strain on the burner housing while delivering a steady 20kV output for precise electrode performance. By maintaining a clean, high-intensity arc, the 17000 kit optimizes combustion stability and reduces burner noise across various firing rates.
Key Benefits for Technicians:
- Backward Compatibility: Designed for seamless integration with Beckett AFG/NX chassis, replacing older 51771U and 51805U models.
- Superior Arc Stability: Solid-state technology eliminates transformer hum and provides a constant-duty spark for improved ignition reliability.
- Weather Resistance: Potting materials protect internal components from moisture, a common failure point in damp basement installations.
- Reduced Power Consumption: Lower amp draw compared to magnetic transformers allows for more stable operation on aging electrical circuits.
- Direct Fit Installation: Includes the mounting plate and primary control lead wires to reduce time on the job site.
Common Questions:
Can I use the Beckett 17000 to replace a standard heavy-duty transformer?
Yes, this electronic igniter kit is the direct performance upgrade for old-style heavy magnetic transformers on Beckett oil burners.
Will this igniter improve my burner's cold-start performance?
By providing a more intense and consistent spark, the 17000 kit ensures faster ignition of No. 2 heating oil, especially in unconditioned spaces.
Is this kit compatible with other burner brands?
While specifically engineered for Beckett series burners, it may fit other housings if the mounting plate configuration matches the standard layout.
