Product Description
Ensure the safe and efficient operation of your pool heater's burner system with the genuine Pentair 77707-0204 Flame Holder Kit. The flame holder is a critical safety component designed to precisely position the gas flame near the igniter and hold it stable during combustion, even under varying draft conditions.
This kit is specifically designed for the high-output 400,000 BTU versions of both the popular Pentair MasterTemp and Sta-Rite Max-E-Therm heater models. The flame holder is a wear item that can degrade over time due to intense heat cycles; replacing it ensures proper ignition sequencing, prevents burner backfire, and maintains the heater's energy efficiency.
