Utica-Dunkirk 550002283 Flame Sensor Kit
Maintaining the integrity of the flame rectification circuit is non-negotiable for high-efficiency condensing systems. The Utica-Dunkirk 550002283 Flame Sensor Kit is a genuine OEM replacement part designed specifically for the Dunkirk Helix VLT and Utica UBSSC series boilers (50-100 MBH). As a critical safety component, this flame rod provides the constant DC microamp signal required by the integrated boiler control to verify burner ignition and sustain safe operation. Precision-engineered by ECR International, this 4 5/8-inch sensor ensures that the gas valve remains localized and secure, preventing hazardous raw gas buildup during a "no-flame" event.
For technicians servicing high-efficiency gas-fired boilers, using an exact-fit 550002283 kit eliminates the risks associated with universal rods that may not align correctly with the burner's ionization zone. Faulty or carbon-fouled sensors are the leading cause of nuisance E02 lockouts and intermittent ignition failures. This comprehensive kit includes the sensor, two 8-32 hex nuts for secure mounting, and technical instructions to restore combustion efficiency and system reliability quickly.
Key Benefits for Professional Contractors
- Direct OEM Compatibility: Engineered for Dunkirk Helix VLT (DKVLT-050NG, DKVLT-100NG) and Utica UBSSC series to ensure precise flame signal feedback.
- Enhanced Safety Logic: Provides reliable ionization detection to the control board, preventing gas flow if a stable burner flame is not established.
- Reduced Maintenance Callbacks: High-grade construction resists rapid oxidation and carbon buildup, minimizing boiler ignition failure issues.
- Complete Installation Kit: Includes required 8-32 mounting hardware to ensure a ground-tight connection for the rectification circuit.
- Optimized Performance: Maintains the factory-specified combustion profile, ensuring the boiler meets its rated efficiency and emission standards.
Common Questions
What are the signs that I need to replace the 550002283 flame sensor?
If the boiler cycles through the ignition sequence but locks out on an E02 error code (flame failure), or if your multimeter reads below 1.0 microamps (µA) during the burner run cycle, the sensor likely requires replacement or cleaning.
Can I use this sensor in Dunkirk Helix VLT-299 models?
This specific kit (550002283) is optimized for the SSC and VLT 50-100 MBH series. Higher capacity units may require different sensor configurations; always verify the part number against the specific unit’s replacement parts list.
Is this a universal flame rod?
No. This is an OEM Utica-Dunkirk component. Using genuine ECR International parts is essential for maintaining the safety certifications and performance ratings of the appliance.
