Details

The Pitco Orifice (53) is a direct replacement gas orifice for Pitco commercial gas fryers, drilled to a number 53 drill-size opening that is one increment smaller than a number 52, providing a marginally reduced gas flow rate for burner or pilot positions on specific Pitco models where this precise orifice specification is required. The exact drill size of a gas orifice is critical to combustion performance because even a single drill-size difference changes the gas flow rate and flame characteristics meaningfully, especially on pilot burners where consistent flame size is essential for reliable thermocouple or thermopile heating. Using the correct number 53 orifice ensures that the burner operates at its exact design specification.

Over time, number 53 orifices are subject to the same accumulation of grease, soot, and debris that affects all small-bore gas orifices in commercial fryer environments, with blockage reducing gas flow, weakening the flame, and causing pilot outage or main burner ignition failures. Attempting to clean the orifice with a wire or drill is risky, as it can easily enlarge the precisely calibrated opening and permanently alter the gas flow characteristics. Replacing the compromised orifice with the Pitco-compatible number 53 unit is the recommended solution for restoring correct gas delivery.

Replacement is performed with the gas supply shut off by removing the old orifice with the correct-size wrench and threading in the new orifice with a gas-rated sealant. It is recommended to replace gas orifices rather than attempt to clean them with tools that risk enlarging the opening. Pairing orifice replacement with a pilot system inspection and a gas supply pressure check ensures the complete gas delivery system is operating within specification.
