PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Orifice (55) for Pitco Part# P6071355
Details
The Pitco Orifice (55) is a direct replacement gas orifice for Pitco commercial gas fryers, precision-drilled to a number 55 drill-size opening that meters the correct gas volume to the specific pilot or main burner position on Pitco models requiring this specification. The number 55 orifice delivers a gas flow rate calibrated for the supply pressure, gas type, and BTU requirement of the burner assembly it serves, and its precise sizing is as important as any other component in the combustion system for achieving stable, efficient flame performance. Using the correct number 55 orifice ensures that no approximation is introduced into the gas delivery system through incorrect part substitution.
Over time, grease vapor deposits, combustion soot, and debris accumulation in the orifice passage reduce the effective opening size below its design dimension, restricting gas flow and producing a flame that is too small to heat the cooking oil efficiently or to maintain reliable thermocouple or thermopile output. In contrast, a physically damaged or corroded orifice with an enlarged opening passes excess gas, producing a large, unstable flame with elevated carbon monoxide output. Replacing the worn or contaminated orifice with the Pitco-compatible number 55 unit restores the factory-specified gas delivery performance.
Installation requires shutting off the gas supply to the fryer, removing the old orifice from the manifold with the appropriate wrench, applying gas-rated pipe thread sealant, and threading in the new orifice. It is recommended to include orifice replacement in the service schedule for all gas components and to verify flame characteristics visually after replacement before returning the fryer to service. Pairing orifice replacement with a manifold pressure check and combustion analysis will confirm complete restoration of the gas system's designed performance.
