Laars LAARS-2400-286 Hot Surface Ignitor with Gasket

Product Description

The LAARS LAARS-2400-286 is a hot surface ignitor with gasket, designed to initiate combustion in gas-fired heating equipment. Hot surface ignitors replace traditional spark igniters and pilot assemblies by using electrical resistance to reach ignition temperature, providing reliable light-off cycles in residential and commercial boilers and water heaters. This ignitor ships with a mating gasket to maintain a proper combustion chamber seal during installation. Licensed HVAC technicians and plumbers are the primary installers of this component.

Hot surface ignitors are found in gas-fired boilers, pool heaters, and water heaters where a reliable ignition source is required for each burner firing cycle. The LAARS-2400-286 is suited for installations where the original ignitor has failed, cracked, or no longer reaches operating temperature within the control board's trial-for-ignition window. The included gasket simplifies the service call by eliminating the need to source a separate sealing component.

Key Features

• Hot surface ignitor design eliminates spark gap maintenance and pilot tube servicing
• Includes mating gasket for combustion chamber sealing at the ignitor port
• OEM-style replacement form factor for direct swap installation
• Resistant to thermal cycling common in high-demand heating applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement ignitor for LAARS gas-fired heating equipment. Confirm fitment against the equipment model and service manual before installation.

Installation Notes

Hot surface ignitors are installed by licensed HVAC technicians or plumbers in accordance with applicable local codes and the equipment manufacturer's service instructions. Shut off gas supply and disconnect electrical power to the appliance before removing the existing ignitor. Handle the ignitor element carefully and avoid contact with bare skin, as oils from skin contact can reduce service life. Verify the replacement gasket seats properly before restoring gas and power.
