Rheem SP8828D NSNBC01

The Rheem SP8828D ignition cable is a 25-inch, rubber-insulated lead that delivers the high-voltage spark from the igniter to the burner in Rheem/Ruud gas water heaters that use a spark-ignition system. As a genuine OEM replacement part, SP8828D is designed to replace worn or damaged ignition cables on natural gas or LP gas models, helping restore reliable ignition without replacing the burner assembly. The 25-inch length provides flexible routing within typical water heater chassis, while the rubber insulation is built to withstand the heat and vibration of residential installations. The SP8828D designation appears in Rheem's parts catalogs as the ignition lead for spark-ignition applications, including power-vented configurations, which broadens its compatibility across a range of Rheem and Ruud units that share common ignition hardware. Because it is an authentic Rheem component, SP8828D matches the electrical interfaces and connector geometry expected by the brand's igniters, supporting straightforward replacement in compatible systems. This part is commonly used in service scenarios where the existing ignition cable has become brittle or damaged, ensuring the ignition sequence can reliably initiate the burner when commanded by the control module.
