Pilot burner complete with Ø 0.2 nozzle (reference AGWS4.003.032). The pilot burner is the small standing flame of gas catering equipment — ranges, griddles, fryers, bratt pans, boiling pans and gas ovens: it stays lit on standby and ignites the main burner on heat demand, keeping the thermocouple hot so that the gas safety valve stays open.

• Supplied: pilot burner with nozzle included
• Nozzle: Ø 0.2
• Application: professional gas cooking equipment

When the pilot struggles: a yellow, short or unstable flame that does not wrap around the thermocouple, difficult ignition or a pilot that goes out as soon as the knob is released are the classic symptoms. The cause is often a nozzle clogged by residues and oxide; if the problem persists after cleaning, or the pilot body is corroded and deformed, replacing the complete assembly with a new nozzle restores a stable, well-directed flame. While you are at it, also check the condition of the thermocouple, which works in contact with the pilot flame.
