Worcester Supply Manifold Complete Flow Unit 87161063560

Worcester Supply Manifold Complete Black Plastic Seals, Clips and Screws included.

The Worcester Electrode (Part No. 87161063560) is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) sparking component designed for the ignition system of Worcester Bosch boilers. This single electrode is responsible for generating the high-voltage spark required to ignite the gas/air mixture at the burner. Unlike the full kit (which includes sensing probes), this individual part is used in specific burner configurations where a single-point ignition source is required.

Key Features and Specifications
Precision Spark Gap: Engineered to maintain the exact distance from the burner surface to ensure a consistent, reliable ignition arc.

High-Grade Ceramic Insulation: The electrode is encased in a specialized ceramic sleeve that prevents electrical arcing to the boiler chassis, ensuring the spark only occurs at the tip.

Heat Resistance: Built to withstand constant exposure to the high temperatures within the combustion chamber without deforming or cracking.

Genuine Worcester Bosch Part: Guarantees electrical compatibility with the ignition lead and the high-voltage transformer, preventing feedback that could damage the PCB.

Corrosion-Resistant Tip: The metal tip is made from a specialized alloy designed to resist "soot" buildup and oxidation.

Boiler Compatibility
This electrode is used in several specific models within the Worcester range, particularly legacy appliances and certain system boilers:

Worcester 240 / 280 / 350 Series: Classic RSF and BF models.

Worcester Danesmoor: Utility and kitchen-based oil/gas versions.

Worcester Heatslave: Various older iterations.

Note: Always check your boiler's GC (Gas Council) number. While modern Greenstars often use the 87161163810 kit, many specialized or older units rely on this single 87161063560 electrode.

Important Safety Note: This is a safety-critical combustion component. Installation and testing MUST be carried out by a Gas Safe Registered engineer. If an electrode is worn or "pitted," it can lead to delayed ignition (explosive start-up), which can damage the heat exchanger.
