PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Orifice (Nat) 5/16 X 32 #78 for Pitco Part# P8901-67
Details
The Pitco Orifice (Nat) 5/16 X 32 #78 is a direct replacement gas orifice for Pitco commercial fryers operating on natural gas. It features a 5/16-inch body with 32 threads per inch and a #78 drill-size bore calibrated to meter the correct volume of natural gas at the fryer's rated supply pressure. Using this-specified orifice maintains the precise fuel flow rate the burner system was designed for, supporting consistent flame characteristics and full rated BTU output.
Over time, the original orifice can accumulate carbon deposits from combustion byproducts or develop corrosion that narrows the bore, reducing gas flow and degrading burner performance. An undersized or partially blocked bore produces weak, lazy flames that cannot bring oil up to temperature quickly, extending recovery times and reducing throughput. Installing the #78 natural gas orifice restores the factory-calibrated flow path, eliminating performance deficits caused by fouled or incorrect fittings.
Replacement requires only basic hand tools and is well within the scope of a routine burner service call by a qualified technician. It is recommended to replace the orifice whenever burner output is noticeably reduced or during any scheduled gas train inspection. Pairing the new orifice with an air shutter check and burner cleaning will restore complete, efficient combustion across all operating conditions.
