Honeywell Flame Rod & Pilot Burner Cross Reference
Flame rods and pilot burner assemblies outlast the controls around them — which means when one finally fails, the model on the nameplate is often decades out of catalog. This cross-reference maps legacy Honeywell C7004 through C7011 flame rod holders and pilot burners, plus common Fireye (69ND) and Barber-Colman equivalents, to current Honeywell replacements.
The details that matter in this category are mechanical: mounting pipe size, angle versus straight body, flame rod diameter, and — on pilot burners like the C7005 — the venturi and orifice arrangement, since the replacement reuses the existing venturi in most cases. The tables preserve those columns so you can match the physical configuration, not just the model number. Where a listed replacement includes an ignition electrode the original lacked (common on C7005B crosses), it’s noted.
Some burner OEMs made their own flame rods that never appeared in Honeywell’s cross tables; if your part isn’t listed, a functional replacement can usually be selected from the current flame safeguard catalog — send us a photo and the dimensions and we’ll match it.
Flame rods, holders, and pilot assemblies are stock items for us in the common configurations. Quote by part number below, or call 1-800-755-2883.

1. Replacing Flame Rods & Pilot Burners
The primary challenge when replacing older flame rectification systems is ensuring physical fitment within the burner housing. Legacy models often utilized specific mounting flanges, venturi tubes, or angled holders that are no longer manufactured in the exact original casting. The replacements listed below often utilize universal mounts or require reusing the existing venturi assembly to achieve the correct draft and flame characteristics.
2. Honeywell C7004–C7011 & ID001 Cross Reference
| Legacy Honeywell Model | Mounting / Style | Rod Diameter | Recommended Replacement | Comments & Assembly Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C7004 / C7007 | 1/2″ NPT / Straight | 1/8″ or 1/4″ | C7008A Series | Flame rod must be cut to the exact length of the original rod being replaced. |
| C7005A / C7005B | Pilot Burner Assy | Varies | Q314 or Q324 Series | Reuse existing venturi and orifice if possible. Some crosses include an ignition electrode the original lacked. |
| C7008 / C7009 | 1/2″ NPT / Angled | 1/4″ (Typically) | C7008A1008 | Current production flame rod holder. Check clearance for angled connector. |
| C7011 / ID001 | Flange Mount | 1/4″ | C7008A / C7012 (depending on app) | May require field fabrication of a mounting adapter plate if replacing a specific OEM casting. |
3. Fireye 69ND to Honeywell Cross Reference
| Fireye Legacy Model | Mounting / Style | Rod Diameter | Honeywell Replacement | Comments & Assembly Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 69ND1 Series (e.g. 69ND1-1000) | 1/2″ NPT | 1/4″ | C7008A1008 | Universal holder. Ensure rod is trimmed to precisely match the immersion depth of the original Fireye unit to avoid nuisance trips. |
| 69ND Flame Rods (Misc) | Varies | 1/4″ or 1/8″ | C7004 / C7008 Series | Ceramic insulator differences may require minor adjustments to the burner sight tube or mounting collar. |
4. Barber-Colman to Honeywell Cross Reference
| Barber-Colman Model | Mounting / Style | Rod Diameter | Honeywell Replacement | Comments & Assembly Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flame Rod Assemblies | 1/2″ NPT (Typical) | 1/4″ | C7008A Series | Barber-Colman flame safeguard systems are obsolete. Confirm Honeywell amplifier compatibility if modernizing the control panel simultaneously. |
