The Hired Hand 3002-5000 Igniter is a 2-inch hot surface igniter built for use in Hired Hand Super Saver XL forced-air heaters. Designed as a 120V instant-on electronic igniter, it quickly heats its silicon carbide element to ignite the gas/air mixture in the burner assembly, ensuring smooth, dependable startup.
Measuring about 2 inches from the igniter tip to the mounting bracket, this “old style” igniter matches the specifications of earlier Super Saver XL heater models. Some older units that originally used ceramic-style igniters may require a conversion kit for proper installation, making the 3002-5000 a common replacement during upgrades or routine maintenance.
A failing igniter is one of the most common causes of ignition issues. Replacing it restores proper burner function and keeps your agricultural heating system running safely and efficiently.
