In hot or corrosive combustion chambers, sulphur burners for example, leaving the spark tip in the flame shortens its life. TESI’s compact coaxial retraction unit mounts on standard ignition rods and pulls the tip back into a protected position once sparking has finished. ATEX versions are available.
