Maxon

USABurners & Combustion

Maxon is a manufacturer of ignition and flame-detection components for industrial combustion equipment, with a product portfolio centered on electrodes and spark plugs for burner systems. The company supplies flame electrodes, spark plugs, and related ignition hardware designed for integration into oil and gas burners across a range of thermal applications—from process heating to power generation. Maxon's electrode lineup includes models for specific burner architectures: flame electrodes for Valupak-series burners (OVP 425–442M range and OVP 445–487M range), spark plugs in the Kinémax and standard reference series, and hardened electrodes in extended-length formats (such as the 14 mm × 25 m configuration). These components are rated for the electrical and thermal demands of ignition in pressurized combustion chambers, with designs suited to both standard and high-temperature operating envelopes. The product range covers both flame-detection electrodes—used to verify pilot or main flame presence—and spark-generation plugs for ignition initiation. Specifications such as electrode diameter, lead length, and connector type are matched to original equipment manufacturer (OEM) burner designs, ensuring mechanical and electrical compatibility

Common Applications

  • Oil-fired burner maintenance — Maxon flame electrodes (018117, 027731) for pilot and main-flame supervision in commercial heating systems
  • Boiler ignition retrofit — Maxon Kinémax spark plugs (037160, 039783) as direct replacement in legacy OVP burner control upgrades
  • Process-heating equipment — Maxon 14 mm electrodes for extended-length applications in confined flame-tube geometries
  • Emergency burner repair — Valupak spark plugs (047232) for rapid restoration of ignition function in industrial thermal units
  • Planned preventive maintenance — OVP-series electrode assemblies (025–487M range) as scheduled replacement to avoid unplanned downtime in continuous-operation plants

Frequently asked questions

Common questions about Maxon from 3G Electric.

What is the difference between a Maxon flame electrode and a Maxon spark plug?

Maxon flame electrodes are used for flame detection and supervision—they sense the presence of flame ionization in the combustion chamber to confirm safe burner operation. Spark plugs generate the high-voltage spark needed to ignite the fuel mixture. Flame electrodes are passive sensing devices; spark plugs are active ignition components. Both are critical to burner safety and control sequences.

Which Maxon electrode models do you stock for OVP Valupak burners?

We carry Maxon electrodes for the OVP 425–442M and OVP 445–487M burner ranges, including both flame electrodes and Valupak-series spark plugs. Specific reference numbers in stock include 027731 (OVP 425–442M flame electrode) and models for the OVP 445–487M series. Cross-reference your burner nameplate to confirm the correct electrode assembly.

What does the reference number on a Maxon electrode indicate?

Maxon uses reference numbering to denote electrode type, connector style, and burner compatibility. For example, reference 018117 is a flame electrode for certain burner platforms; 037160 and 039783 are Kinémax spark plugs. The reference number links directly to the original equipment manufacturer's specification, ensuring correct fit and electrical performance in the intended burner.

Are Maxon spark plugs available in different lengths?

Yes. Maxon spark plugs are available in multiple lead lengths to suit different burner geometries and electrode positioning requirements. The standard Kinémax series includes 6-inch variants, and other lengths are available. Verify your burner's electrode pocket depth and lead-length specification before ordering to ensure proper spark gap positioning.

How should I order a replacement Maxon electrode if I don't have the reference number?

Provide your burner's make, model, and nameplate data—including the OVP series designation if applicable—to us. Our team can cross-reference your equipment against the Maxon catalog and identify the correct SKU. Alternatively, remove the existing electrode and match the connector type, diameter, and lead length to a sample in our stock listing.

What inventory lead time do you offer for Maxon electrodes?

We maintain stock of over 14 Maxon electrode SKUs at its warehouse facility, enabling same-day or next-business-day fulfillment for most standard models. For non-stock references or bulk orders, lead times depend on supplier availability. Contact us directly for confirmed delivery schedules on specific part numbers.
