What it is

The Alpha 6.8417430 is an ignition electrode lead used on Alpha gas boilers in the 240E, 280E, 500 E and 240XE families. It carries the ignition voltage from the boiler's ignition source to the electrode at the burner, so the spark is delivered where the gas is present. It is listed under electrodes in the gas boiler spares range.

Signs this part needs replacing

  • The boiler attempts to fire but there is no spark at the burner
  • Repeated ignition lockouts or failed ignition attempts
  • Intermittent ignition, with the boiler sometimes firing and sometimes not
  • Visible damage to the lead, such as cracked, brittle or burnt insulation
  • A loose or corroded connection at the electrode end of the lead

Before you order

  • Confirm your appliance model and, where shown, the GC number against the fitment list
  • Check the condition of the electrode itself as well as the lead, as both may need attention
  • Verify the part number 6.8417430 against the manufacturer's parts list for your boiler
  • Isolate the appliance and follow the manufacturer's instructions before fitting
