Pros & Cons
Pros
Ao smith 50 gallon, 40k btu natural gas hot water tank. Took right off in the normal fashion and water is as hot or hotter as it has been in years! Aosmith 50gal.
Cons
The wires for the igniter side of the piece are shorter than the flame sensor side. They dont droop far enough to get the inspection covers / draft covers back on.
Highlights

This one is higher quality at a great price
I had an intermittent problem with the flame sensor where it would attempt to light 3 times and then just shut off
Bought for a backup but looks like good quality
Price
Working well so far and the price is right
