Pilot Burner Replacement Orifices
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
APPLICATION
Replacement orifices to convert pilot burners between natural
and LP gas applications and replace damaged or clogged
orifices.
There are two types of pilot burner orifices; insert and spud.
An insert orifice is a stamped metal piece that is held in the
pilot burner by a separate threaded fitting. A spud orifice is a
machined plug with a drilled orifice that is screwed into the
pilot burner.

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE
INJURY, OR DEATH
Follow these warnings exactly.
1. Disconnect power supply to prevent electrical shock or
equipment damage.
2. To avoid dangerous accumulation of fuel gas, turn off
gas supply at appliance service valve before starting
installation and perform Gas Leak Test after completion
of installation.
3. Do not bend pilot tubing at the control or pilot after compression nut has been tightened. Gas leakage at the
connection may result.
LP gas orifices are identified by a red dot. In LP
gas applications, ensure replacement orifice is
identified by a red dot.
Follow the appliance manufacturer's instructions if available;
otherwise, use the instructions provided below.
Installing Insert Orifices
1. Disconnect pilot tubing from the pilot burner and remove
insert orifice. Sometimes a light force is required to
remove the orifice.
2. Cut off old compression fitting and discard.
NOTE: When replacing an orifice, cut off old compres-
sion fitting and replace with a new compression
fitting. Never use old compression fitting as it
may not provide a gas-tight seal. Refer to Fig. 2.
When Installing This Product...
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow
instructions can damage product or cause a hazardous
condition.
2. Check ratings given in instructions and on product to
make sure product is suitable for your application.
3. Make sure installer is a trained, experienced service
technician.
4. After completing installation, use these instructions to
check out product operation.
3. Square off end of pilot tubing and remove all burrs.
4. Insert new compression fitting over pilot tubing and slide
out of the way.
5. Insert new orifice into pilot burner and push pilot tubing
into the pilot burner until it bottoms.
6. While holding tubing all the way in, slide compression fitting into place and engage threads. Turn until finger
tight.
7. Using a wrench, tighten compression fitting one turn
beyond finger tight.

Inserting Spud Orifices
1. Disconnect pilot tubing from orifice.
2. Unscrew old spud orifice and discard.
3. Cut off old compression fitting and discard.
NOTE: When replacing an orifice, cut off old compres-
sion fitting and replace with a new compression
fitting. Never use old compression fitting as it
may not provide a gas-tight seal. Refer to Fig. 2.
4. Square off end of pilot tubing and remove all burrs.
5. Insert new compression fitting over pilot tubing and slide
out of the way.
6. Insert new orifice into pilot burner and tighten securely.
7. Push pilot tubing into orifice until it bottoms.
8. While holding tubing all the way in, slide compression
fitting into place and engage threads. Turn until finger
tight.
9. Using a wrench, tighten compression fitting one turn
beyond finger tight.

Gas Leak Test
1. Paint pipe connections upstream of gas control with rich
soap and water solution. Bubbles indicate gas leak.
2. If leak is detected, tighten pipe connections.
3. Stand clear of main burner while lighting to prevent
injury caused from hidden leaks which could cause
flashback in the appliance vestibule. Light main burner.
4. With main burner in operation, paint pipe joints and control inlet and outlet with rich soap and water solution.
5. If another leak is detected, tighten adapter screws,
joints, and pipe connections.
6. Replace part if leak can’t be stopped.
Light Pilot Burner
1. Before lighting pilot burner, turn thermostat to its lowest
setting. Wait for unburned gas to vent.
NOTE: LP gas is heavier than air and will not vent
upward. Smell for LP gas next to floor. If you
smell gas, shut off the main valve in the gas piping, or, ON LP, AT THE TANK. Perform Gas Leak
Test to recheck all connections.
2. Light pilot burner according to appliance manufacturer’s
instructions.
Adjust Pilot Flame
The pilot flame should envelop 3/8 to 1/2 in. (10 to 13 mm) of
the thermocouple, generator, or igniter-sensor tip. See Fig. 3.
To adjust pilot flame:
1. Remove pilot adjustment cover screw.
2. Turn inner pilot adjustment screw clockwise to
decrease or counterclockwise to increase pilot flame.
3. Always replace pilot adjustment cover screw and tighten
firmly after completing adjustment to ensure proper
operation.
CHECKOUT
Follow the startup and checkout procedure for the gas control
or the pilot burner. Refer to the specific instructions provided
by the appliance manufacturer since the application and
controls used may differ. However, the following steps must be
performed during all checkout procedures.
Perform Gas Leak Test
Check for gas leaks with soap and water solution any time
work is done on a gas system.
