Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100274106 Rod
Maintain the peak operational integrity of your heating equipment with the Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100274106 Flame Rod Assembly. Engineered as a critical safety component for high-efficiency gas-fired water heaters and modern condensing boilers, this flame sensor utilizes the principle of flame rectification to monitor combustion. When the burner ignites, the rod converts the surrounding ionization into a DC microamp signal, providing the necessary feedback to the ignition control module to keep the gas valve energized. As a veteran technician knows, a fouled or degraded rod is the primary culprit behind intermittent ignition failure and nuisance 100-series lockout codes on Lochinvar Knight and Noble series units. This OEM replacement part ensures precise flame sensing, preventing hazardous unburned gas accumulation while maximizing fuel efficiency. The 100274106 is built for high-temperature durability, resisting carbon buildup and thermal stress in demanding residential and commercial hydronic applications. It is a direct-fit solution designed to restore reliable heating system performance without the need for field modifications.
Key Benefits- OEM Precision: Direct Lochinvar and A.O. Smith cross-reference for guaranteed electrical compatibility with factory ignition boards.
- Enhanced Safety: High-speed flame rectification sensing prevents gas flow in the event of a flame-out or unstable combustion.
- System Reliability: Eliminates common "No Heat" calls caused by weak microamp signals or oxidized sensor tips.
- Durable Construction: High-grade ceramic insulator and specialized metal alloy rod designed for the intense environment of a gas burner assembly.
- What are the signs of a failing flame rod? Most technicians see the unit ignite for 2-5 seconds and then shut down immediately (short-cycling) or display a "Flame Sense" lockout code.
- Can I clean this rod instead of replacing it? While a light cleaning with a non-abrasive pad can temporarily restore a signal, physical degradation or cracks in the ceramic insulator require a full 100274106 replacement to ensure long-term reliability.
- Does this include the gasket? This assembly is typically supplied with the necessary mounting gasket to ensure a pressurized seal within the combustion chamber.
Disclaimer: While we strive for 100% accuracy, product data and specifications are subject to change. Please contact our team to confirm compatibility or technical details before purchasing.
