Overview
The Auburn I-2 (CS12944) is a precision igniter spark plug designed for industrial combustion equipment. This 4.5-inch igniter provides consistent spark generation to initiate and maintain fuel combustion in burner systems, boilers, furnaces, and other combustion-based applications. Auburn igniters have been the industry standard since 1910, with proven reliability in OEM and retrofit installations across heating, HVAC, and industrial automation sectors.
