PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Pilot Valve 1/8 Mpt X 1/4 Cc for Pitco Part# P8901-78
Details
The Pitco Pilot Valve 1/8 Mpt X 1/4 Cc is a direct replacement pilot gas shutoff valve for Pitco commercial gas fryers. With a 1/8-inch male pipe thread inlet and a 1/4-inch compression connection outlet, it provides a manual or automatic shutoff for the pilot gas supply line, allowing the pilot to be isolated for service without shutting off the entire gas supply. Using the correct valve ensures a leak-free seal at both connection types and reliable shutoff function.
Over time, pilot valves can develop internal seat wear, corrosion from moisture in the gas supply, or cracked valve bodies from overtightening or physical impact, resulting in gas leaks, inability to shut off the pilot, or loss of pressure to the pilot orifice. A leaking or non-functional pilot valve is a gas safety hazard that must be addressed immediately. Replacing the valve with the 1/8 MPT x 1/4 CC unit restores a leak-free, reliable pilot gas shutoff.
Installation requires applying approved gas-grade thread sealant to all threaded connections and using a backup wrench on the compression fitting to prevent fitting body stress. A qualified gas technician must perform a leak test at all connections after installation. Pairing pilot valve replacement with an inspection of the pilot tubing and pilot burner orifice will ensure the entire pilot gas supply system is free of leaks and delivering the correct gas flow to the pilot flame.
