Rheem sp12560c Spark Ignitor Pilot Assembly Liquid Propane

Product Description

The RHEEM sp12560c is a spark ignitor and pilot assembly designed for liquid propane (LP) gas water heaters. This assembly provides reliable ignition by generating a spark to light the pilot flame, which then ignites the main burner. It is a direct OEM-style replacement component installed in the combustion chamber area of compatible Rheem and Ruud PowerVent 2 water heaters. Licensed plumbers and water heater service technicians handle this type of replacement as part of routine ignition system maintenance or troubleshooting. The assembly includes both the spark ignitor and pilot components as a single unit, simplifying diagnosis and service.

This assembly is designed for use with liquid propane fuel and is compatible with Rheem and Ruud 40-gallon and 50-gallon PowerVent 2 water heaters. It is suited for residential installations where LP gas is the fuel source. Technicians typically encounter this part during service calls involving ignition failure, pilot outages, or pilot flame irregularities. Install location is within the burner and pilot assembly area of the water heater.
