You can use the sensor from the kit if you have a pilot assembly it fits into.
If you don't have a pilot assembly, the Q345 pilot is a nice plug and play option.
Your issue doesn't have anything to do with the flame sense. Flame rectification only produces 2-4 micro amps and can be sensed through ground circuit.
24v side issue for sure. What size 24v transformer are you using?
Didn't see any answers for the ignition system for your ebay valve.... What did you end up doing??? I'm trying to use the same valve right now.Just curious question what people are using for pilot when they purchase quality valves off of eBay. I purchased this valve, http://www.ebay.com/itm/121333061531?redirect=mobile, but I am having a difficult time finding a method of constant spark when running them off of a Ranco temp controller. Any advice would be appreciated.
I know this is old but I wanted to help out someone else that may be looking. Fat fingered the part number. 390686-1I can't find the 390868-1 part anywhere on patriots web site. Who makes it?
Right, based on my wiring it should still be failsafe as I am not bypassing the control module to power the valve, just moving the the pid controller to be a additional switch for the main valve instead of switching the pilot. I tested this and it works the way I want so I definitely prefer this wiring.Many of us operate using systems with no igniter, leaving the pilot on and directly controlling the solenoid valve. Works fine. So long as your system is failsafe (no primary flame without a hot pilot) it should be OK.
