Ruud 62-24164-01 Direct Spark Ignitor Gas Furnace

Product Description

The RUUD 62-24164-01 is a direct spark ignitor designed for use in RUUD and Protech gas furnace systems. It uses a Kanthal element to produce a reliable spark across a 1/8-inch gap, initiating combustion in the burner assembly without a standing pilot. The lead wire measures 35 inches, giving technicians adequate reach during installation in tight furnace cabinets. This ignitor is a service replacement part installed by licensed HVAC technicians during routine maintenance or ignition system repairs on residential and light commercial gas furnaces.

This ignitor fits a wide range of RUUD and Protech gas furnace model families, including SGDG, RGLH, RGLK, RGLL, RGLN, RGLQ, RGLR, RGPH, RGPK, RGPL, RGPN, RGPP, RGPQ, RGPR, 80LS, 80PS, RGLE, RGLS, RGLT, RGPE, RGPS, RGPT, and SGPN series furnaces. It is a direct OEM-style replacement, making it a practical choice for service calls where the original ignitor has failed or is showing signs of wear.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician. Shut off electrical power and close the gas supply valve before removing the existing ignitor. Handle the Kanthal element carefully to avoid cracking or contaminating the tip, as oil from bare hands can shorten service life. Verify spark gap clearance after seating the replacement and confirm ignition sequence operation before returning the furnace to service.
