Kromschroder Electrode rod BR165 L335 74330264

This open electrode rod is a service spare part for Kromschroder BIO, BIC and BR series burners. It is 335 mm long and made of Kanthal A1 for corrosion resistance. The rod works both as an ignition electrode and as a flame detector through ionization. The open electrode type is suitable for direct exposure to the flame. The part meets European safety standards.

When selecting a replacement electrode of this kind, compare overall rod length, bend angle, diameter of the ceramic insulator, spark gap, and mounting flange with the original part. The electrode must be shaped for the specific burner series, and the mounting interface must match so the tip sits correctly in the flame zone. Verify the physical dimensions and mounting interface against the existing part before ordering.

Typical failure modes of this type include erosion of the metal tip, cracking of the ceramic insulation, soot buildup that bridges the gap, and gradual widening of the spark gap. When the electrode degrades, ignition may be delayed or fail, and the flame-monitoring signal may be lost. Check the electrode tip for erosion, inspect the ceramic for cracks, and clean off soot or carbon deposits. Measure the spark gap against the manufacturer's specification.
