Pilot jet LF L3020042

A pilot jet meters the exact flow of gas to the standing pilot flame that ignites the main burners on professional gas appliances. The jet's orifice size determines how much gas passes, creating a steady, controlled flame that stays alight continuously. This small but critical component ensures reliable ignition without electronic intervention, making it essential for fry tops, grills, bratt pans, convection ovens and solid-top ranges in busy kitchens.

The operator does not interact directly with the pilot jet during normal use. It is installed inside the gas valve or burner assembly, where it remains in place until replacement is needed. Once fitted, the jet requires no adjustment; the fixed orifice delivers the correct gas volume for the appliance's ignition system.

Constructed as a single brass component, the LF Pilot Jet SIT ø 0.19 mm is precisely machined to the stated orifice diameter. Brass resists corrosion and withstands the heat of the pilot flame over extended service.

The orifice diameter of 0.19 mm matches the gas flow requirements of the listed professional appliances. This specification ensures the pilot flame remains stable and correctly sized for safe, consistent ignition of the main burners.

Cleaning is limited to inspection during routine maintenance. The jet should be checked for blockages or carbon build-up, which can restrict gas flow and weaken the pilot flame. If cleaning is needed, it must be done carefully to avoid altering the orifice size.

This pilot jet fits a wide range of gas appliances from BARON, DEXION, GIGA, HOBART, LOTUS, MBM, MODULAR, SILKO and WHIRLPOOL, including fry tops, grills, bratt pans, convection ovens, pasta cookers, pot stoves and solid-top ranges.
