CQ8000A Universal Hot Surface 

Igniter Kit

APPLICATION

The CQ8000A Universal Hot Surface Igniter Kit is designed to 

provide a robust field service replacement igniter in gas fired 

appliances with Norton/St Gobain 120 VAC silicon carbide hot 

surface igniters. The CQ8000A uses a 120 volt silicon nitride 

igniter design with long life and high resistance to damage or 

burn out in the appliance. The kit includes the specially 

designed silicon nitride igniter and six different bracket 

configurations to adapt the igniter to the specific appliance 

application along with accessory parts to allow mounting and 

wiring the igniter. Clear instructions and application templates 

are provided to simplify selection of the proper bracket and 

ease installation of the replacement.

BEFORE YOU START

1. Review this instruction sheet ful y to ensure you are 

familiar with the steps and information necessary to 

complete the installation properly, including the 

WARNING section on this page.

2. Confirm the existing hot surface igniter has failed:

a. Run an appliance cycle and observe the installed 

igniter.

b. If the igniter glows, the problem is not the igniter.

c. If the igniter does not glow during an ignition cycle:

(1) Unplug the igniter lead wires.

(2) Set a voltmeter’s scale to 300 VAC and connect 

the voltmeter to the igniter harness.

(3) Run another cycle and confirm 120 VAC power 

at the harness during the igniter warm up time.

3. Check the appliance construction and wiring diagram 

(typically located on an appliance panel) and confirm 

that the appliance does not use the hot surface igniter 

as the flame sensor. Do not use the CQ8000A kit if the 

existing igniter is also the flame sensor. Use an original 

equipment part. The CQ8000A is not designed to be 

used as a flame sensor.

4. If the appliance is a sealed combustion model, 

determine if the existing hot surface igniter ceramic is 

part of the sealing of the burner box. If it is, check 

carefully to determine if this kit will allow the proper 

appliance function.

5. Confirm the kit components:

a. six brackets stamped A, B, C, D, E, and F

b. one hot surface igniter with wiring leads

c. two wire nuts and a thread forming screw

6. The CQ8000A should not be handled by the black 

silicon nitride igniter. Use care to handle the CQ8000A 

by the ceramic casing or the bracket.

INSTALLATION

When Installing This Product…

1. Read these instructions careful y. Failure to fol ow them 

could damage the product or cause a hazardous condition.

2. Check the cross-reference table on page 4 and the tem-

plates (Fig. 1 and Fig. 2) to make sure the proper igniter 

bracket is used for your application.

3. This product is intended for instal ation by a trained and 

experienced service technician. If a service technician is 

not available, the individual instal ing this product must 

be knowledgeable in the design, construction, and 

operation of the gas fired appliance being serviced.

4. After instal ation is complete, check out appliance 

operation as provided in these instructions.

WARNING

Fire or Explosion or Electrical Shock Hazard.

Can cause severe injury, death or property 

damage.

1. Never install where water can flood, drip or 

condense on the igniter or its controller.

2. Liquefied petroleum (LP) gas is heavier than air 

and will not naturally vent upward.

— Do not operate electric switches, lights, or 

appliances until you are sure the appliance area 

is free of gas.

3. Disconnect power supply before beginning wiring 

or making wiring connections to prevent electrical 

shock or equipment damage.

4. The CQ8000A is NOT designed to replace silicon 

carbide hot surface igniters in residential gas ovens or 

residential clothes dryers. Use of this product in a 

residential gas oven or residential gas clothes dryer 

can result in severe injury, death, or property damage.

Remove the old igniter assembly

1. Turn off electrical power supply external to the appliance.

2. Turn off gas supply to the appliance.
3. Set thermostat to the lowest setting or OFF.
4. Remove the appliance panel to expose the burner area. 

If necessary remove the burner box panel to expose the 

installed igniter.

5. Disconnect the installed igniter from the appliance wiring 

harness and move the wiring harness out of the way.

6. Carefully review the location of the instal ed igniter in the 

appliance. Pay attention to where the igniter is located 

relative to the burners and other parts of the appliance. 

This will help confirm the location of the new igniter for 

instal ation.

7. Locate and remove the screw(s) holding the installed 

igniter or igniter bracket assembly in place. Remove the 

installed igniter very carefully to avoid damaging it. 

Retain the screw(s) for re-installation.
