Imperial 1609 Pilot Adjustment Valve 1/8" MPT X 3/16" CCT 90°

This valve is designed to adjust and fine-tune the output of a gas pilot flame in commercial cooking equipment to provide stable ignition performance and is compact enough to fit in small spaces. It works by controlling the flow of gas through a 1/8" MPT inlet to precisely adjust the pilot system and ensure proper flame strength in fryer, range, and broiler applications. Made with a 90-degree body angle, the valve allows easier installation in compact equipment compartments while supporting consistent pilot operation. It is widely used in commercial gas cooking systems that require reliable ignition to help ensure safe burner startup. If the adjustment valve becomes worn or clogged, it can cause an unstable flame or delayed response to gas adjustments, which may affect equipment performance during normal kitchen operation. Replacing the adjustment valve can help restore proper flame control and support stable ignition response.
