Description

This orifice is the small gas passage that controls burner fuel flow to create a proper flame for cooking. It restores correct gas metering so the burner lights and maintains a steady flame. What it does:

• Regulates gas flow to the burner for a consistent, controllable flame
• Helps fix symptoms like weak or uneven flames, burners that won't stay lit, or delayed ignition
• Fits into the burner assembly where the gas line meets the burner tube
• Works with the appliance's existing valve and burner components to maintain safe operation

What's included:

• One burner orifice

Install notes:

• Turn off the gas supply and unplug the appliance before servicing
• Inspect for debris or damage and replace if the orifice or seat is corroded or clogged
• Tighten to the manufacturer's torque spec; do not overtighten or force into the seat
