Pipe fitting LF L3020077

A pipe fitting carries gas from the supply line into the burner assembly of professional catering equipment. The fitting threads into the appliance body, creating a sealed connection that prevents leaks while allowing controlled flow to the jets. Its internal diameter determines the volume of gas delivered, matching the burner's demand so the flame remains steady and even across the cooking surface.

To install, the operator first shuts off the gas supply and depressurises the line. The old fitting is unscrewed with a spanner, taking care not to damage the appliance thread. The new LF fitting is then wound in by hand until snug, followed by a final quarter-turn with the spanner to seat the seal. A leak test with soapy water confirms the joint is gas-tight before the appliance is relit.

The fitting is machined from brass, chosen for its resistance to corrosion and high-temperature stability. The M10x1 thread and 10.5 mm hex head allow standard spanners to be used, while the 4 mm bore suits the flow requirements of small to medium burners found in bain-maries, boiling pans, bratt pans, fryers and solid-top ranges.

A single control is implicit in the design: the threaded joint itself, which the operator tightens to the correct torque. No additional valves or regulators are part of this component.

The 4 mm internal diameter means the fitting is sized for appliances with modest gas consumption, such as counter-top bain-maries or single-burner pasta cookers. The M10x1 thread is a common metric size in European catering equipment, ensuring compatibility with the listed brands. Brass construction gives the fitting a long service life under daily kitchen conditions, and its small footprint allows it to be fitted in tight spaces behind or beneath appliances.

Cleaning is limited to wiping the exterior with a damp cloth to remove grease or dust; no internal maintenance is required. The fitting is supplied as a single variant with no options or accessories.

It fits gas appliances from ANGELO PO, BARON, DEXION, GIGA, HOBART, JEMI, MARENO, MBM, MODULAR, SILKO, WHIRLPOOL and ZANUSSI, covering hundreds of specific models across fryers, grills, boiling pans, bratt pans and solid-top ranges.
