Description

This precision-drilled natural-gas orifice (8K) meters gas to a single burner on your range or cooktop. It helps restore a correct, consistent flame when the original orifice is clogged, damaged, or the wrong size. What it does:

• Regulates gas flow to one burner in a natural-gas configuration
• 8K size matches the designated burner output specified for certain positions
• Can help resolve low/uneven flame, yellow tipping/sooting, or poor simmer control
• Useful when correcting issues after a fuel-type conversion

What's included: 1 natural-gas orifice (8K) Install notes:

• Disconnect power and shut off the gas supply before servicing
• Allow the appliance to cool; remove grates and burner caps to access the orifice holder
• Thread in the new orifice and tighten gently
• Restore gas, leak-check with soapy water, and confirm proper flame height and color per the service manual
