Abstract
A bracket for a hot surface ignitor is provided with a central opening having downwardly directed supporting arms and upwardly directed L-shaped retention arms such that the ignitor can be lockingly engaged with the bracket without creating crack-inducing stresses in the ceramic base of the ignitor. The bracket is further provided with upwardly directed resilient detents that allow the bracket to be securely snapped into the burner box of a gas furnace. The bracket thus positions the hot surface portion of the ignitor within the burner box while positioning the ceramic base and electric supply wires exterior to the box.
