Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100112457 Flame Rod
The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100112457 Flame Rod is a critical OEM replacement part designed for precise flame rectification in high-efficiency commercial boilers and water heaters. As a veteran-grade HVAC flame sensor, this component monitors the combustion process, sending a microamp signal to the ignition control board to ensure the gas valve remains safely energized. Constructed with a high-temperature resistant alloy and a durable ceramic insulator, the 100112457 is engineered to withstand the intense thermal cycling of the combustion chamber. When diagnosing ignition failure lockouts or erratic burner behavior, replacing a fouled or cracked flame sensing rod is often the first step in restoring system reliability. This genuine Lochinvar flame rod ensures exact fitment and electrical compatibility with Knight boilers and A.O. Smith water heaters, maintaining factory safety standards and preventing the dangerous accumulation of unburned fuel. Rely on this OEM boiler part for professional-grade performance and long-term diagnostic accuracy in the field.
- OEM Reliability: Guaranteed electrical matching with Lochinvar and A.O. Smith commercial control modules.
- Enhanced Safety: Provides instantaneous flame detection to prevent "no-flame" gas flow scenarios.
- Direct Fitment: Eliminates the need for field modifications, ensuring proper flame rod alignment within the burner assembly.
- Durable Construction: Features a high-grade ceramic base to prevent electrical leakage and signal interference.
How do I know if the flame rod needs replacement?
If the burner ignites but shuts down after a few seconds, or if your multimeter shows a signal below the manufacturer's specified microamps (typically less than 1.0 μA), the 100112457 may be fouled or damaged.
Can I clean the 100112457 flame sensor instead of replacing it?
While light carbon buildup can sometimes be cleaned with fine steel wool, any cracks in the ceramic insulator or significant pitting on the metal rod require an immediate flame rod replacement to ensure safe operation.
Which models are compatible with this part?
This HVAC replacement part is primarily used in Lochinvar Knight series boilers and specific A.O. Smith high-efficiency commercial water heater units. Always verify your specific model and serial number before installation.
