Ma-line ma-185 Telescoping Match Holder 26 Inch

Product Description

The MA-LINE ma-185 is a telescoping match holder designed for lighting pilot lights, gas fireplaces, boilers, water heaters, and other gas-fired appliances that require extended reach ignition. The holder extends to 26 inches, keeping the technician's hand well clear of the ignition point during lighting procedures. Lightweight at 0.3 pounds, it is a practical hand tool for HVAC techs, plumbers, and gas appliance service professionals who regularly perform pilot and standing-flame lighting in tight or awkward equipment compartments.

The ma-185 is suited for residential and light commercial service calls where gas appliances require manual ignition. Typical applications include lighting standing pilots on older furnaces, boilers, water heaters, and gas fireplaces during seasonal startup, commissioning, or after gas interruption service. The telescoping design allows the holder to collapse for storage in a standard tool bag and extend when needed for hard-to-reach ignition ports.
