Bard part number 8554-025 is an OEM flame sensor used in Bard wall-mounted gas/electric HVAC units to prove burner flame to the ignition control during a heat call. This sensor uses a 0.114 inch Kanthal A-1 rod positioned in the burner flame, helping the system run safely by confirming flame presence and shutting down the gas valve if flame is not detected. If your unit is experiencing nuisance lockouts, no-heat conditions, or flame-proving errors, replacing the correct Bard sensor is a common, field-proven fix, but always verify the part number against your unit model and serial before ordering since Bard has updated this number to 8554-025BX as the direct replacement.
