Using It on the Job
- Always begin by isolating power and gas supply to the heater. Follow appropriate lockout/tagout procedures.
- Locate the existing ignition electrode within the pilot assembly. Document its position and wiring connections if unsure.
- Carefully disconnect the high-tension lead from the electrode and unmount the old unit.
- Install the new SIT ST0915024 electrode, ensuring it is correctly seated and positioned relative to the pilot flame.
- Reconnect the high-tension lead securely, checking for any frayed wires or damaged insulation.

Limitations & Safety Notes
- Work on gas appliances must only be performed by a currently licensed gas fitter in Australia.
- Always ensure power and gas supplies are isolated and verified before commencing any work.
- Confirm this electrode's part number (ST0915024 / 0915024) matches your specific heater model and pilot type.

Tradie Pro Tip: Before ordering, grab a good look at your existing pilot assembly. Sometimes, what looks like a standard straight electrode can have slight variations in length or connection that'll stop a heater from firing up reliably when you need it most.
Pair With
Consider pairing this electrode with an ignition module, a multi-meter for electrical checks, and quality thread sealant for gas connections when servicing your heater.
