Maxon 43079 Flame Rod Assembly - 10.8

The Maxon 43079 is a 10.8-inch flame rod assembly designed for use in commercial and industrial gas heating systems. This critical safety component functions as a flame sensor, detecting the presence of flame in the burner to ensure safe operation of the heating equipment.

Key Features:

• 10.8-inch overall length for proper positioning in the flame path
• Flame rectification technology provides reliable flame detection
• Durable construction withstands high-temperature combustion environments
• Direct replacement part for Maxon heating equipment
• Functions as a critical safety interlock component

The flame rod works by detecting the electrical current generated through flame rectification. When the burner is lit, the flame conducts electricity between the rod and ground, signaling the control system that combustion is occurring. If the flame is extinguished, the signal stops and the safety control shuts off gas flow to prevent dangerous conditions.
