RHEEM 176602 /Protech - Ignitor - Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) - Rh

Direct Spark Ignitor

The Direct Spark Ignitor (DSI) is the most advanced ignition system ever developed. It provides instant spark when you turn on your gas valve. No delay, no hang-up, no misfire. Plus, it reduces noise in your home by up to 85 percent compared to conventional ignitors!

Direct Spark Ignitor (DSI) system improves ignition reliability by providing a larger spark and more consistent pilot flame, even if the pilot gas pressure fluctuates.

The Direct Spark Ignitor (DSI) allows the pilot to start the furnace with electronic ignition, which eliminates the need to use a lighter. This is a safety feature that provides you with peace of mind.

The Rhéem line of high efficiency water heater models come standard with the industry's safest and most reliable technology, Direct Spark Igniting. As an upgrade from traditional pilot light igniting systems, Direct Spark Ignitor provides faster initial ignition and more reliable ignition in demanding applications. Rhéem also provides warm-up testing to ensure safety and reliability.

The Direct Spark Ignition delivers a flame to the combustion chamber without any pilot lighting or glow rod. This style uses two electrodes, one to ignite the natural gas and one to ignite the pilot gas. The ignition source is separate from the gas control circuit, hence the term "Direct Spark Ignitation". DSI systems are typically found in Direct Vent applications, but may be used in other types of gas appliances as well.

Keep your home warm all winter long with Rheem's Ignitor [model number]. This product uses Direct Spark Ignition (DSI) technology, which is more reliable and longer lasting than traditional glow plugs. The spark ignitor eliminates the frustrating problem of pre-ignition, helping to reduce maintenance and burn out of the motor compressors. In addition to the high tech DSI technology, the Ignitor is covered by a 7 year warranty, so you can ensure this product will last for years to come.

The new Rheem Protech-DSI gas ignition system is a revolutionary new technology designed to provide quick and easy lighting of gas-fueled appliances. The Protech-DSI uses a small, reliable spark module that automatically lights the burner with one push of the pilot button.
