Pilot jet LF L3020157

A pilot jet controls the flow of gas to the burner in professional catering equipment, ensuring a steady, small flame that ignites the main burner on demand. This 0.25 mm LF pilot jet meters the gas at a precise rate, creating the pilot flame that remains alight while the appliance is in use. The size of the orifice determines the flame's stability and heat output, allowing the appliance to respond quickly when the main burner is called for.

The sequence is simple: the jet is fitted into the gas valve assembly, where it channels gas from the supply line. When the appliance is switched on, gas flows through the jet, forming a pilot flame at the ignition point. This flame stays lit, ready to light the main burner when the thermostat or control knob opens the gas valve fully. The operator sets the required temperature or power level, and the appliance cycles the main burner on and off as needed, with the pilot flame providing immediate ignition each time.

Constructed as a single orifice of 0.25 mm diameter, the jet is a small but critical component in the gas train. Its size directly affects the appliance's performance, ensuring the pilot flame is neither too weak to stay lit nor too strong to waste gas.

This LF pilot jet fits a wide range of gas appliances from Berto's, Mareno, Silko and Zanussi, including fryers, grills, ovens, ranges, boiling pans and pasta cookers. It is listed as a direct replacement for the specified models in the gas catering equipment catalogue.
