Heil Quaker ICP 1171448 Flame Sensor
The Heil Quaker ICP 1171448 Flame Sensor is a critical OEM replacement component designed for International Comfort Products (ICP) gas-fired furnaces and heating units. As a veteran technician knows, the flame rod is the heart of the flame rectification circuit; it utilizes the ionized gas in the burner flame to conduct a microamp (?A) signal back to the integrated furnace control (IFC). When this sensor fails?often due to carbon buildup, oxidation, or ceramic insulator cracks?the control board will trigger a safety lockout, typically after a short 2 to 5-second ignition trial. This furnace flame sensor replacement ensures your system maintains its flame sensing reliability, preventing unnecessary service calls for "ignites then dies" symptoms. Compatible with a wide range of Heil, Tempstar, and Comfortmaker PGE series units (including PGE180H series), the 1171448 is engineered for high-temperature durability and precise heating system maintenance. Replacing a weathered or aged sensor is standard HVAC troubleshooting to restore peak efficiency and safety.
Key Benefits for the Contractor:- OEM Precision: Genuine ICP 1171448 ensures the correct rod length and offset angle for immediate flame detection without field modifications.
- System Reliability: Eliminates nuisance ignition failure codes and short-cycling caused by weak or intermittent microamp signals.
- High-Temp Construction: Features a high-grade Kanthal sensor rod and robust ceramic insulator to withstand constant thermal stress within the burner assembly.
- Direct Fit: Designed for rapid installation in Heil Quaker and associated ICP brands, reducing labor time during furnace repair.
What microamp reading should I expect from a new 1171448 sensor?
Most ICP control boards require a minimum of 0.5 to 1.0 microamps DC to maintain the gas valve circuit, though a healthy sensor typically generates between 2.0 and 6.0 ?A when the flame is properly enveloping the rod.
Can I just clean the old sensor instead of replacing it?
While cleaning with a fine abrasive pad can temporarily remove oxidation, it often leaves microscopic scratches that accelerate future carbon buildup. For long-term reliability in HVAC maintenance, replacing a pitted or heavily oxidized sensor is the professional standard.
What are the signs of a failing 1171448 flame sensor?
The most common indicator is the burner igniting successfully but shutting down within seconds, followed by a specific "no flame sensed" flash code on the furnace's diagnostic LED.
