SureFire

Gas Igniter

Model 20 - 1.0 MBTUH

DESCRIPTION

The SureFire™ gas igniters are a versatile and reliable source of ignition energy for oil, coal, or nat-
ural gas burners. They are self-contained units and feature a stable and clean-burning flame, repeat-
able fuel ignition, low maintenance (no moving parts), and low cooling-/combustion-air
requirements.

The SureFire™ gas igniters are NFPA-rated as a Class 1, 2, or 3 igniter, depending on the applica-
tion: Class 1 igniters are used for burner light-up and support under any conditions; Class 2 igniters
are used for light-up and support under prescribed light-off conditions; and Class 3 igniters are used
for light-up only and are not intended for warm-up or support.

These igniters are provided with a durable High Energy Igniter (HEI) for repeatable light-off. Refer
to the HEI bulletin for detailed HEI information.

In most applications, the self-contained SureFire™ gas igniters are mounted in a burner through a
mounting tube. The major components of the SureFire™ gas igniters are the guide tube assembly,
and the HEI. Figure 1 shows the SureFire™ igniter assembly.
