Heil Quaker ICP 1179160 Flame Sensor
The Heil Quaker ICP 1179160 Flame Sensor is a critical safety component designed for flame rectification in high-efficiency gas furnaces. As a direct OEM replacement part, it ensures the burner remains lit by sending a continuous microamp signal to the integrated furnace control board. This sensor is engineered for specific ICP, Heil, Tempstar, and Comfortmaker units, providing a precise fit for residential and commercial heating systems. When a furnace experiences short cycling or fails to stay ignited after the initial purge and ignition sequence, a fouled or oxidized flame rod is often the culprit. This rod features a high-temperature porcelain insulator and a durable stainless steel rod capable of withstanding extreme combustion chamber temperatures.
For technicians performing a furnace flame sensor replacement, the 1179160 offers seamless integration with existing wiring harnesses. Proper installation requires verifying the rod is positioned directly in the burner?s path to generate the necessary 1.5 to 5.0 microamps (?A) signal. Replacing a cracked or heavily corroded furnace ignition sensor prevents nuisance lockouts and ensures the gas valve does not remain open without a confirmed flame, maintaining strict adherence to safety protocols.
Key Benefits- OEM Compatibility: Specifically designed to replace ICP part number 1179160 and cross-referenced with 1177212 for a wide range of Heil and Tempstar models.
- System Reliability: Restores consistent flame sensing to prevent intermittent heating failures and "no heat" service calls.
- Durable Construction: Features a robust ceramic-to-metal bond to resist thermal shock and electrical leakage.
- Direct Fit: Includes the essential wire and connector for a standard 1/4 inch male spade terminal interface.
How do I know if the flame sensor is failing?
The most common symptom is the furnace lighting for 2?5 seconds and then immediately shutting down. If the control board flashes an ignition failure code or a "flame sensed out of sequence" error, the sensor or its grounding circuit should be inspected.
Can I clean the 1179160 rod instead of replacing it?
While light oxidation can sometimes be removed with a very fine abrasive, deep pitting or cracks in the porcelain insulator require a full replacement to ensure the safety circuit operates within the manufacturer's specified microamp threshold.
What microamp reading should I expect from this sensor?
When tested with a multimeter in series, a healthy 1179160 flame sensor typically produces a steady reading between 2.0 and 4.0 microamps DC once the flame is established.
