Introducing the FT-8: Our Most Powerful Ignition Unit Yet

When your burner demands more capacity and tougher performance, you need an ignition system that can keep up. That’s why SureFire developed the FT-8 pilotless ignition unit, rated up to 1,500,000 BTU/hr.

Why We Built the FT-8

The increased demand for a 4” main burners on heater treater applications, while still maintaining the pilotless operation.

The FT-8 was built to meet that demand.

FT-8 Key Specs:

  • BTU Output: ~1,500,000 BTU/hr
  • Inlet Size: 4″ NPT
  • Ignition Type: Hot Surface Ignition
  • Housing: Aluminum housing with stainless steel nozzle
  • Sensor Options:
    • AF model – Flame rod
    • AT model – Thermocouple

The FT-8 is ideal for:

  • Firetube applications with a 4” main burner.

It delivers the same plug-and-play performance, and sparkless ignition technology as the FT-2, FT-4, and FT-6 pilotless ignition systems, and is fully compatible with the SureFire BMS controllers.
