Imperial 1003 Pilot Valve 1/8" MPT X 3/16"CC

This gas control valve is used in commercial cooking equipment to manage and adjust the gas flow going to two separate pilot flames. It works by splitting one incoming gas line into two controlled outlets, allowing each pilot flame to be adjusted independently for stable and consistent burning. The valve is built with a durable brass housing and includes a 1/8-inch inlet along with two outlet ports that ensure a consistent and controlled gas supply to the burners. Over time, dirt, soot, or wear inside the valve can block gas flow or cause leaks. When this happens, pilot flames may become weak, unstable, or go out completely, which can stop the main burner from lighting properly. Replacing a worn valve helps restore proper gas control, improves ignition response, and keeps the cooking equipment running safely. This part is commonly used in commercial kitchens such as broilers, wok ranges, stock pot ranges, and deck ovens, where steady pilot flames are important for operation.
