Description

This orifice is the small gas-port insert that meters natural gas to a stove or range burner so the flame burns correctly. It replaces a worn or damaged spud to restore proper burner ignition and heat control. What it does:

• Regulates natural gas flow to a specific burner for proper combustion
• Helps maintain a steady, even flame and consistent cooking temperatures
• Can resolve weak or uneven flames, burner that won't light cleanly, or flame instability
• Used where a specific size spud/orifice is required for natural gas operation

What's included: One natural gas spud/orifice Install notes:

• Turn off gas supply and unplug the appliance before servicing
• Remove burner head and cap to access and replace the orifice; use hand tools and avoid overtightening
• Verify this orifice matches the required size for the burner and your gas type
