Infrared Gas Igniters are the perfect solution for use in the majority of conventional and self-cleaning gas ovens.

The glo-stix® hot surface igniter can be used with all types of range control system including the conventional bi-metal safety valve. The glo-stix® has been designed to operate in every application a hot surface igniter can but, has many advantages over its 30 year old competitor. Slow heat up times can be a thing of the past, (if required) as all our products are capable of very fast ignition speeds. This will give you more choice when selecting your broiler and range controllers.

Glo-stix® are made of high strength Silicon Nitride and are lighter and smaller than any of its rival products. A glo-stix® igniter is designed for long-term reliability and service and can remain on during the appliance operation, if required, lasting for many thousands of hours continual usage. The Glo-stix™ is manufactured from a patented advanced ceramic material and combines superior physical strength and high thermal shock properties. It is very resistant to alkalis and acids. As would be expected from modern materials, it demonstrates very stable electrical characteristics and has very low power ratings and is therefore more efficient than its rival products. All cables are high temperature rated. Our igniters are provided with all mounting plates and brackets that may be required. The igniters are very robust and offer none of the fragile characteristics demonstrated by silicon carbide hot surface igniter products.

Glo-stix® igniters are designed for easy handling, simple installation and trouble-free operation. A shield can be used in the design if required but in many cases it is not necessary as the igniter is very robust unlike Silicon Carbide products. Glo-stix® infrared gas igniters have been designed to work with the bi-metal safety valves which have been specifically calibrated to work with our igniter product range. The valves must be the model specifically manufactured and calibrated for the glo-stix® infrared gas igniter.
