Unlike standard hot surface ignitors, this DSI electrode generates a high-voltage electrical spark to ignite the gas burners instantly. As a primary safety and ignition component, it ensures a clean, reliable light-off every time the thermostat calls for heat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTechnical Performance:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed with high-density alumina ceramic insulation and a heat-resistant alloy probe, this ignitor is built to withstand the constant thermal stress of the burner flame. Being a \u003cstrong\u003eGenuine OEM\u003c\/strong\u003e part, it features the exact electrode gap and mounting offset required for Protech™ burner assemblies. This precision is critical; even a slight misalignment in an aftermarket \"universal\" sparker can cause delayed ignition or \"booming\" starts, which can damage the heat exchanger over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features and Function:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstant Spark Ignition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Delivers a consistent, high-intensity spark for immediate burner ignition and improved fuel efficiency.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenuine OEM Reliability \u0026amp; Fitment:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed as a \"drop-in\" replacement with the correct bracket geometry for Rheem and Ruud gas manifolds.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Temperature Insulation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium ceramic housing prevents electrical leakage and grounding issues, even in high-moisture environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDual-Probe Logic:\u003c\/strong\u003e Engineered to work seamlessly with the furnace control board to provide both ignition and flame rectification signals.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Details and Key Specifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 62-24164-01 (Replaces 62-24164-01K)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rheem \/ Ruud (PROTECH™ Genuine OEM)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct Spark Ignitor (DSI) \/ Spark Electrode\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIgnition Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Spark-to-Burner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection:\u003c\/strong\u003e High-voltage spark wire boot terminal\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Alumina Ceramic and Stainless Alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShipping Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.25 lbs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e🛠️ HVAC Depot Pro Tip: The Gap Check\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen installing the \u003cstrong\u003e62-24164-01\u003c\/strong\u003e, never attempt to bend the metal probe to adjust the spark gap unless specified by the manufacturer’s service manual. The gap is factory-set for optimal arcing. Before securing the mounting screw, ensure the ceramic insulator is not cracked; a hairline fracture can cause the spark to \"short out\" to the furnace chassis instead of reaching the burner, resulting in an ignition lockout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCross-Reference \u0026amp; Compatibility:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 62-24164-01 is a direct OEM replacement for the following part numbers:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOEM Numbers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 62-24164-01, 622416401, 62-24164-01K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 662766127133\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExtensive Model Compatibility List:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eR80 Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e R801PA, R801SA, R801TA, R802PA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eR92 Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e R92PA, R92TA, R92MS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eR95 Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e R95PA, R95TA, R95MS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eR96 Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e R96PA, R96TA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Units:\u003c\/strong\u003e RGEA14, RGEA15, RGEA16 Series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassic Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e RGRA, RGRB, RCBA, RGLN, RGLQ, RGPN, RGPQ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rheem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52659289096555,"sku":"0662766215496","price":66.72,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/9683\/9531\/files\/62-24164-01.jpg?v=1765215608","url":"https:\/\/tophvacparts.com\/products\/rheem-62-24164-01-genuine-oem-direct-spark-ignitor-dsi-electrode","provider":"HVAC Parts and Equipment Depot Open To Homeowners and Contractors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
