The International Comfort Product 1170686 5” Electrode is an essential component of the HVAC systems with focus on electric furnaces and heat pumps. This electrode is an elongated metal bar that is required for lighting the burners necessary to warm the air. It works by generating an electrical spark of high voltage that ignites this gas or propane that passes through the burner tubes. The 1170686 electrode is designed for the furnaces and heat pumps manufactured by International Comfort Products. Its length of 5 inches ensures proper positioning inside the burner assembly hence efficient ignition. This characteristic makes the electrode a durable part of the system, which offers consistent performance without frequent need of maintenance.
