Overview
The Pentair 77707-0054 Igniter & Gasket Kit is a replacement OEM part for your gas heater’s ignition system. Over time igniters can fail or become damaged, and the gasket can wear, crack, or deteriorate—this can lead to ignition problems, gas leaks, or inefficient heating. This kit restores both functionality and safety by replacing both components together, ensuring a tight seal and reliable start-up.
What’s Included
- Igniter assembly (OEM spec)
- Igniter gasket (seal component)
Compatibility & Replacements
Designed specifically for Pentair MasterTemp and Sta-Rite Max-E-Therm gas heater models. Use only with those heater lines. Replaces previous igniter & gasket assemblies in these models. Not compatible with non-gas heaters or unrelated heater models—check your model and manual to verify.
Installation & Notes
- Always shut off gas supply and power before servicing heater.
- Handle igniter carefully—avoid touching the active tip or fragile elements.
- Install new gasket to ensure proper seal; misalignment or gaps can cause gas escape or flame issues.
- After installation, inspect ignition operation; if issues persist, check wiring, gas pressure, or control module.
- Maintain heater seasonally; inspect igniter and gasket during pre-season start-up.
