More Information:
Functions as an integral part of commercial oven ignition systems, this pilot tube assembly is used to deliver a controlled and stable gas pilot flow that supports consistent burner ignition and safe oven startup. Built with 40 inches of 3/16" pilot tubing and supplied with two ferrules for secure connection, it ensures proper routing and sealing of the pilot gas line within the equipment. Installed in a wide range of commercial Blodgett ovens, the assembly plays a key role in maintaining reliable ignition performance and steady flame operation during heating cycles. Over time, pilot tubing can become worn, restricted, or damaged, which may lead to inconsistent ignition or delayed startup; replacing it helps restore proper gas delivery and supports efficient and stable oven operation in daily cooking environments.
