Ruud SP20172 Water Heater Flammable Vapor Sensor

The Ruud SP20172 is a flammable vapor sensor component used as a replacement part in Ruud residential and light-commercial gas water heaters equipped with flammable vapor ignition resistant (FVIR) technology. This component is part of the safety and combustion-monitoring system built into modern Ruud water heater platforms, and it is supplied as a genuine Ruud service part for licensed plumbing and HVAC technicians performing repair or replacement work in the field. Because this is a rough-in/behind-the-appliance service component rather than a decorative fixture, it should be installed and tested by a qualified professional familiar with the specific Ruud water heater model it is being installed into.

Key Features

  • Genuine Ruud Service Part: Manufactured to match the fit and function of the original component installed in compatible Ruud water heater units.
  • Flammable Vapor Sensor Function: Designed to work within the water heater's flammable vapor detection and shutdown circuit as part of the appliance's built-in safety system.
  • Direct Replacement: Intended as a like-for-like replacement part for servicing existing Ruud water heater installations rather than a universal aftermarket substitute.
  • Professional Installation: Intended for installation by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician as part of water heater repair or maintenance work.

Technical Specifications

  • Refer to manufacturer documentation for complete technical specifications.

Typical Applications

  • Residential Gas Water Heater Repair
  • Light-Commercial Water Heater Service
