Baxi Potterton Main Electrode & Trap Connect Lead 5112382

Product Overview

The Baxi Potterton Main Electrode & Trap Connect Lead (Part Number: 5112382) is an electrical connection component designed for selected Baxi, Potterton and Main boiler systems.

Part number 5112382 is identified as a Sensing Electrode / Trap Connection Lead, forming part of the boiler's electrical connection arrangement associated with the flame sensing system.

The lead provides the required electrical connection within the relevant sensing circuit, supporting the boiler's flame supervision functions.

Correct electrical connections are important for reliable flame detection and safe burner operation.

ℹ️ Product Condition Options:

This part may be available in New or Refurbished condition. Please select your desired option from the dropdown menu above. Refurbished leads should be professionally inspected and electrically tested to confirm correct continuity, insulation integrity and connection condition before installation.

Technical Insight & Common Failure Symptoms

The sensing electrode connection lead forms part of the boiler's flame detection electrical circuit.

Flame supervision systems monitor an electrical signal associated with the burner flame to determine whether combustion has been established.

Damage to the sensing lead, its insulation or electrical connections may interfere with reliable signal transmission.

Possible symptoms that may indicate a sensing lead or associated component problem include:

• Boiler igniting but shutting down shortly afterwards.

• Intermittent flame detection.

• Burner flame not being recognised by the control system.

• Boiler entering a flame failure or ignition-related lockout.

• Damaged or deteriorated cable insulation.

• Loose, corroded or damaged electrical connectors.

• Electrical continuity problems affecting the sensing circuit.

These symptoms do not necessarily confirm a faulty sensing lead, as similar problems may result from the sensing electrode, burner condition, earthing faults, electrical controls or other combustion components. Correct professional diagnosis should be carried out before replacement.

Compatibility

This part (MPN: 5112382) is associated with selected Baxi, Potterton and Main boiler systems.

Please verify the exact boiler model, GC number, part number, lead configuration and electrical connections against the manufacturer's technical documentation before ordering to ensure correct fitment.

Safety Advice

Boiler sensing electrode leads and associated flame supervision components are safety-related parts of the appliance's combustion control system. Inspection, removal and installation must only be carried out by a Gas Safe registered engineer who is suitably qualified for the appliance and work being undertaken.

Always isolate the appliance's electrical supply before carrying out any work and follow the manufacturer's installation and servicing instructions. Ensure the lead is correctly connected, securely routed and adequately insulated. All required flame detection, burner operation and operational safety checks must be completed before the boiler is returned to service.
