Kromschroder Electrode 34434612

Kromschroder Electrode 34434612 is a 400 mm long ionization and ignition electrode with a thread M14x1.25 mounting feature. It is resistant to soot and fits the Kromschroder FZE400 burner. The electrode rod insulation is susceptible to cracking of the ceramic insulator. This part is used in gas burner systems for ignition spark generation or flame ionization sensing.

When selecting a replacement electrode of this type, verify the electrode length, bend angle, ceramic insulator diameter, spark gap setting, and mounting flange type against the original part. The mounting thread (e.g., M14x1.25) must match the burner's fitting. Ensure the electrode is shaped for the specific burner series to maintain correct positioning relative to the burner head. Always compare physical dimensions and gap with the manufacturer's specification for the application.

Typical failure modes include erosion of the electrode tip, cracking of the ceramic insulator, soot accumulation on the surface, and gradual widening of the spark gap. These issues can cause delayed ignition, weak spark, or drifting flame signal. Inspect the electrode for visible damage and measure the spark gap. Also check the ignition transformer and burner control, as upstream components may contribute to symptoms.
