Product Description
The PIEZO IGNITER EUROSIT Stellar Rheem Dux Thermann is a replacement piezo igniter designed for use with gas appliances, particularly for models from brands like Eurosit, Stellar, Rheem, Dux, and Thermann. Piezo igniters are a type of manual ignition system used to create a spark for lighting gas appliances, like water heaters, heating systems, and ovens.
Key Features:
-
Piezo Ignition:
- This type of igniter works by generating a spark when the button is pressed, which ignites the gas in the appliance. It does not require batteries or external power sources, making it reliable and convenient.
- Piezo ignition is preferred in many gas appliances because it is safe, easy to use, and maintenance-free over time.
-
Compatibility:
- The igniter is designed to be compatible with various gas appliances, including gas water heaters, gas fireplaces, and gas heating systems from trusted brands like Eurosit, Stellar, Rheem, Dux, and Thermann.
- The specific models of these brands that use this igniter may vary, so it's important to verify compatibility with your appliance model using the part number or appliance specifications.
-
High-Quality Build:
- The PIEZO IGNITER is designed with durability and performance in mind. It is built to withstand high temperatures typically found in gas-powered appliances.
- Its simple mechanical design ensures longevity, as there are no complex electrical components that can fail over time.
-
Easy Installation:
- Installing this piezo igniter is relatively straightforward and can often be done by a DIYer with basic knowledge of gas appliances. However, for safety reasons, it is recommended to have a qualified technician perform the installation if you’re unsure.
- The igniter usually fits into a socket or connector within the gas appliance, with a spark electrode that makes contact with the gas source.
-
No Batteries or External Power Source:
- Unlike electronic ignition systems, piezo igniters work purely through mechanical means, generating a spark when activated by the user. This eliminates the need for batteries or an external power source, making it highly reliable in remote or power-outage situations.

Applications:
-
Gas Water Heaters:
- This igniter is widely used in gas water heaters, especially in Rheem, Dux, and Thermann models. It allows users to easily ignite the burner for heating water without needing external power or electrical ignition systems.
-
Gas Heating Systems:
- For gas space heaters or gas ducted heaters, this igniter plays a vital role in sparking the gas burner, ensuring the heater functions properly during colder months.
-
Gas Stoves and Ovens:
- Some gas stoves or ovens from brands like Stellar and Eurosit also use this type of piezo igniter to ignite the burners or oven flames, providing a reliable and easy ignition method.
-
Gas Fireplaces:
- Used in gas fireplaces, this igniter allows homeowners to safely and easily ignite the gas flames, providing comfort and warmth without the need for external electrical components.
Considerations:
-
Compatibility Check:
- Before purchasing the PIEZO IGNITER, make sure it is compatible with your specific appliance model. Check the model number or manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure it matches the required part.
-
Installation:
- While the piezo igniter can be installed by DIY enthusiasts, gas appliances involve safety risks. If you’re unsure about the installation process, it’s always best to consult with a licensed professional or technician to ensure everything is properly installed.
-
Maintenance:
- Over time, the ignition button and the internal components can wear out, especially with frequent use. If the igniter fails to generate a spark, it may need to be replaced.
-
Safety:
- If the igniter is malfunctioning, ensure there are no gas leaks before attempting to fix or replace it. Always turn off the gas supply to the appliance before working on it.
Conclusion:
The PIEZO IGNITER EUROSIT Stellar Rheem Dux Thermann is a reliable and essential component for gas appliances that require manual ignition. Its piezoelectric design allows for safe, simple, and maintenance-free ignition, and it is compatible with several well-known brands in the gas appliance market.
If your gas appliance is having trouble igniting or if you need to replace a worn-out igniter, this piezo igniter offers a cost-effective and efficient solution. Just ensure compatibility with your appliance model and follow proper installation and safety procedures.
