What is the Ignition Electrode?
BNGAS offers various types of ignition electrodes and flame sensor electrodes according to the client’s requests and drawings. They are mainly used in gas boilers, water heaters, stoves, grills, etc.
Ignition electrodes and ionization probes are produced from high-quality materials.
- The central electrode is generally made of a unique fireproof material, resistant to high temperature and electrochemical corrosion (seen more in gas boilers and gas heaters)- Kanthal material.
- The outer insulator is made of alumina ceramic with high mechanical strength, heat resistance, high voltage resistance (usually 18kV), and high Al2O3 content.
- Some electrodes also have mounting brackets on ceramics, and we usually like to be made of 304 stainless steel, which gives the product a longer life.
They ignite gaseous fuels in gas burners and operate on the principle of high voltage flashover. The ignition electrode must be outside the flame. Only the central electrode is in the flame. The ignition electrode and ionization probes are usually used in combination in the combustion chamber of a gas-burning appliance (the ignition electrode can also be used as an ionization probe). However, the space between them needs to be designed by a professional engineer for you.
Ignition Electrodes For Gas Boiler
There are usually two different types of electrodes, ignition electrodes and flame sensing electrodes. The ignition electrode is responsible for generating a spark to enable the burner to burn. The flame sensing electrode is responsible for detecting the presence of a flame in the burner. By this detection action, if the flame is not detected the boiler knows to retry ignition.
We recommend that all parts are installed by a fully qualified Gas Safe certified engineer. If you need to buy parts in bulk for some models, please feel free to contact us. If only a small number of product replacements are required, we can refer you to your local distributor, importer, or retailer and we have a large number of customers abroad to help us with the distribution.

BNGAS Ignition Electrodes Production
We have a wide range of ignition and sensing electrodes for whole applications.
Ignition electrodes are used for ignition and temperature control of natural gas-fired equipment and operate on the principle of high-pressure flashover. If your application requires an electrode or sensing rod, we can supply one of our models or design and manufacture it for you.
BNGAS produce electrode in the automated line for simple design in large quantity.
High-voltage Insulation Test For Electrodes
The quality control system is the most critical thing after industrial product production. We know that our customers are concerned about the quality and longevity of our products and whether there are any safety risks.
Therefore, BNGAS has a complete quality management system and SOPs for the production process since its inception, and 100% inspection of important nodes will be carried out during production, and only after passing the full inspection can we pack and ship the products.

BNGAS- Ignition Electrode Manufacturers
Through our many years of manufacturing experience and the quality standards of our large customers, we can offer a wide range of quality products. They can be customized to meet your requirements for various uses. It’ll be best if you can send us your samples or drawings for check, because most of the electrodes are customized.
We will pack these products according to your requirements and can use individual plastic bags to pack them. So you can sell them individually. Since graphite gaskets are very easy to damage, we usually pack the gaskets separately from the electrodes will be safer. Finally, they are placed in carton boxes and fixed on top of a pallet.

BNGAS offers various types of ignition electrodes and flame sensor electrodes according to the client’s requests and drawings. They are mainly used in gas boilers, water heaters, stoves, grills, etc.
Ignition electrodes and ionization probes are produced from high-quality materials.
- The central electrode is generally made of a unique fireproof material, resistant to high temperature and electrochemical corrosion (seen more in gas boilers and gas heaters)- Kanthal material.
- The outer insulator is made of alumina ceramic with high mechanical strength, heat resistance, high voltage resistance (usually 18kV), and high Al2O3 content.
- Some electrodes also have mounting brackets on ceramics, and we usually like to be made of 304 stainless steel, which gives the product a longer life.
Flame sensing rods, also called flame rectifier rods, are usually found on modern hot surfaces and ISI (intermittent spark ignition) gas equipment.
The flame sensing rod is inserted into the flame and connected to the control circuit board. Whenever the circuit board gives the command to open the gas valve, it monitors the current on the flame sensing rod. It generates a potential (voltage) at the terminals of the flame sensing rod connected to the sensor. A small microampere (µA) direct current (DC) is generated by forming a path between the rod and the ions in the flame only when the flame is present. Otherwise, there is only potential at the rod and no current. If the flame goes out and the small DC signal board does not sense this microampere (μA) DC for a few seconds, it will shut off the gas valve and tries again.
The flame sensor fails in the following cases:
1. they are short-circuited due to ceramic body rupture.
2. They do not open because they are broken.
3. They are not properly installed in the flame.
4. They have silica (glass) or carbon attached to their surface.
It could be a circuit board problem or a flame sensor problem. Every possible test needs to be done before replacing it. Many technicians advocate replacing the flame sensor if they suspect it is not conducting well. I don’t mind because BNGAS flame rods are cheap with good quality, and you can cover this cost for your customers.
In summary, the flame rod should be:
1. In the flame
2. Clean
3. Not open
4. Not short
You can purchase most of the popular brands of electrodes here. For example, Worcester, Ideal, BAXI, Beretta, and Vaillant.
Please send the inquiry to us, if we don’t have the model you need, we can make a prototype for you based on the sample you send us.
Our initial order quantity is usually 1,000-2,000 pieces.
If we happen to have the model you need in our production line, we can provide a minimum purchase quantity of 500 pieces.
Our regular lead time is 30-90 working days, depending on our current order status.
Yes, we produce brand new products for you, and tooling costs will be incurred, so we have to charge you for this.
We will not sell to any other customer for one year from when you pay for the mould and produce the sample.
Strictly speaking, only the mould belongs to you. The product does not belong to you.
Because we can’t only produce 1,000 or 2,000 pcs products and sell them to one customer.
But we can negotiate whether we need to make this to your exclusive product according to your purchase quantity after one year.
Yes, we can. Please check with our sales.
See if you want a separate bag. Do you need bar code labels or custom LOGO bags?
We usually put independent products in small cartons, then pack them in large cartons, and eventually make pallets, which will be safer.
According to the feedback of most customers, long-distance transportation is unsuitable for putting gaskets and electrodes in the same bag. They (especially graphite gaskets) are more likely to be damaged. We strongly recommend packing separately. We will also give you some more gaskets for spare.
