Piezo Ignitor & Bracket

Rheem SP14410 – OEM Piezo Ignitor and Bracket Assembly for Gas Water Heaters

The Rheem SP14410 Piezo Ignitor and Bracket Assembly is an OEM replacement component designed for use with specific Rheem and Ruud residential gas water heaters. This manual ignitor assembly provides a reliable, spark-initiated pilot flame for consistent burner ignition without requiring external power or electronic components.

Engineered to meet original manufacturer specifications, the SP14410 features a built-in piezoelectric element mounted in a dedicated steel bracket, ensuring proper alignment and spark discharge to the pilot. It is suitable for service replacement or as part of burner assembly repair and maintenance procedures.

Component Function

• Ignition Source: Provides mechanical spark to ignite the pilot flame using piezoelectric actuation.
• Manual Operation: Designed for push-button use without battery or electrical supply.
• Integrated Bracket: Ensures correct positioning of the ignitor relative to the pilot assembly and maintains flame reliability.

Technical Specifications

• Part Number: SP14410
• Type: Piezo ignitor with pre-mounted bracket
• Fuel Compatibility: Natural gas or liquid propane (based on system configuration)
• Installation: Intended for use with specific Rheem and Ruud atmospheric gas water heater models—verify model alignment
• Mounting: Bracket includes screw slots for direct connection to burner housing or control enclosure

Installation Guidelines

Installation requires access to the combustion chamber and pilot assembly. Use care when routing the ignitor wire and positioning the bracket to maintain spark gap tolerance and avoid grounding issues. It is recommended that all ignition components be verified during reassembly to confirm proper operation and pilot flame retention.

Professional Use Considerations

• Contractor Utility: This assembly is ideal for burner maintenance and non-electronic ignition systems, offering field reliability with no dependency on external voltage.
• Troubleshooting Context: Commonly replaced when spark generation is intermittent or pilot flame does not ignite despite verified gas supply and thermocouple function.

Summary

The Rheem SP14410 Piezo Ignitor and Bracket is a factory-authorized solution for maintaining ignition reliability in select residential water heater models. With its mechanical simplicity, OEM fitment, and rugged construction, it supports consistent pilot lighting in field conditions and is recommended for use in preventive maintenance programs or as a direct replacement for failed spark ignitors.
