Review: OEM part fit exactly - Purchased this for repair on a Heatilator GC100 unit. Installed in less than 20 minutes and it worked perfectly. It was harder to remove the glass panel than to install the ignitor.
Review: So far so good - I had a fireplace maintenance man recommended this verses ordering from their supplier for twice the cost. It’s been installed for a month now and everything is working.
