Kromschroder Electrode rod BR 200 L85 74336586

This is an ignition electrode rod for use in gas burners. It fits Kromschroder BR 200 series burners. The rod length is 85 mm. As an ignition electrode, it produces a spark to ignite the fuel-air mixture. This item is catalogued with SKU 74336586 and model BR 200 L85.

Replacement electrodes of this type are selected by physical dimensions, including overall length, bend angle, insulator diameter, electrode gap from tip to burner ground, and the shape of the mounting flange or thread. These parameters must match the burner head or pilot burner design. Before ordering, compare the new electrode's bend and length against the old one. Also check that the ceramic insulator is intact and the gap is within specification.

Failure modes for electrodes of this kind include erosion of the tip from repeated sparking, cracking of the ceramic insulator from thermal shock or mechanical stress, sooting that insulates the electrode, and a drifted gap. When an electrode fails, ignition may be delayed or fail entirely, or the flame signal may be lost if the rod also serves as an ionization probe. Check the ceramic for hairline cracks, clean off soot, and verify the electrode gap against the burner's specification.
