This natural-gas burner orifice spud meters the correct fuel flow for a 15,000-BTU surface burner. Replacing a clogged, damaged, or wrong-size orifice restores proper flame size, cleaner combustion, and reliable cooktop performance. What it does:
- Meters gas through a calibrated opening to the burner head for correct flame height
- Sized for a 15,000-BTU surface burner using natural gas
- Installs in the orifice holder/valve body beneath the burner
- Typical symptoms of a faulty or mismatched orifice: weak/small flames, yellow/sooty flames, uneven heating, delayed ignition, burner won't reach high heat
What's included:
- 1 natural-gas 15,000-BTU orifice spud
Install notes:
- Shut off gas supply and disconnect power; allow all burners to cool completely
- Remove grates, caps, and burner heads; lift the top or access the orifice holder as required
- Match each orifice to the correct burner location by BTU rating; do not overtighten
- After reassembly, check all connections for leaks with a non-corrosive soap solution and verify proper flame color/size
Fuel type note:
- For natural gas applications only; use the correct LP/propane orifice when converting fuel types
