Description

This precision-drilled burner orifice is sized for Type 4 butane applications. It meters gas to the burner so flames ignite reliably and burn cleanly when the appliance is configured for butane per the manufacturer's specifications. What it does:

• Regulates gas flow to the burner head for proper flame size and shape
• Type 4 drilling intended for butane gas configurations specified by the manufacturer
• Replaces a missing or stripped orifice during service or gas-type conversion

What's included:

• 1 burner orifice (Type 4, butane)

Install notes:

• Shut off gas supply and power; allow the appliance to cool before service
• Access the orifice at the burner base/manifold; remove the original with the correct wrench or socket
• Start threads by hand; tighten snugly—avoid overtightening or cross-threading
• After reassembly, leak-check with soapy water and verify flame; gas conversions should be performed following OEM instructions and local codes
