This kit provides the components needed to service or restore the flame-sensing assembly within a FVIR-equipped unit, ensuring the system can properly detect burner operation and satisfy safety interlock requirements. Licensed plumbers and water heater service technicians typically handle this repair as part of a diagnostic or warranty-related service call. The kit addresses common failure points in the FVIR sensing circuit and is designed as a direct OEM-style replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis replacement kit applies to residential tank-type gas water heaters equipped with a FVIR system, which became a code-required safety feature on units installed near floor level where flammable vapors may accumulate. The sensor and wiper components work together within the sealed combustion chamber assembly. When the flame sensor fails or the wiper mechanism degrades, the unit may lock out or fail to ignite. This kit restores normal function without requiring full burner assembly replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM replacement kit for FVIR flame sensor and wiper assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to restore proper flame detection in FVIR-equipped gas water heaters\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses sensor and wiper failure modes that cause ignition lockout\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect fit replacement reduces diagnostic and repair time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement for RHEEM and RUUD residential gas water heaters equipped with a FVIR combustion system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified water heater service technician. Shut off the gas supply and allow the unit to cool completely before beginning any service to the burner or sensing assembly. Follow all applicable local codes and the manufacturer service documentation when disassembling the FVIR chamber. Do not attempt to modify or bypass the FVIR interlock system during or after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKit Contents\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flame sensor and wiper components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSystem Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: FVIR (Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication\u003c\/strong\u003e: Residential gas water heater\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: RHEEM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: sp13447b\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"RHEEM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51233475723570,"sku":"SP13447B","price":126.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/307633723.jpg?v=1780100831","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/rheem-sp13447b-flame-sensor-wiper-replacement-kit","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
