Description
The Fireye SP-48-NG-ND-0.6 is a SureFire II natural-draught gas pilot igniter that establishes a stable flame to light oil- and gas-fired main burners in utility boilers, industrial heaters, and petrochemical furnaces. Its 0.6 m (1.96 ft) insertion length and 48 mm outer diameter air tube determine burner reach and mounting clearance. Operating on natural gas at 20–80 kPa, the pilot delivers 20–46 kW capacity for intermittent light-off or continuous pilot duty.
Natural gas enters through a 1/2" BSP female port to feed the internal bleed and main orifices, mixing with ambient air drawn through inlets governed by a locking sliding sleeve. An orifice-stabilizer plate shapes the resulting flame at the tube outlet, using a separately ordered HESI or HTI ignition rod up to 16 mm OD for ignition. Built from 304/316 stainless steel and 310/330 heat-resistant steel, the assembly handles 300°C continuous temperatures and 500°C at the tip.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the heat capacity and gas pressure range of the Fireye SP-48-NG-ND-0.6?
On natural gas, the SP-48-NG-ND-0.6 operates across a capacity range of 20–46 kW when supplied with fuel pressure between 20 kPa and 80 kPa.
Can the Fireye SP-48-NG-ND-0.6 run continuously, or is it only for burner light-off?
The pilot supports both operating modes. It can function as an intermittent pilot during main-burner light-off sequences or remain lit for continuous pilot duty.
Is the high-energy spark rod included with the Fireye SP-48-NG-ND-0.6 pilot assembly?
No. While the gas head accepts HESI or HTI ignition rods up to 16 mm OD via a 1/2" BSP gland, the electrical ignition device is ordered separately.
