The Economite Model DS45B direct spark ignition conversion burner is adaptable to most gas utilization equipment, including
gravity and forced circulation furnaces and boilers, and is particularly recommended for horizontal and downdraft gas utilization
equipment since it needs no draft to maintain a pilot.  Power burner design makes it perfectly suited for oil burner replacement.
