Precision American Range Orifices for Gas Flow Control

The American Range orifices are small but vital components that regulate the flow of gas to your burners, pilots, and ovens. Whether you are performing a routine replacement or a full gas conversion, using the correct American Range gas orifice is essential for both safety and performance. A properly sized orifice ensures that your equipment reaches its rated BTU output without creating dangerous carbon monoxide levels or inefficient yellow flames.

Gas Conversion: Natural Gas (NG) vs. Liquid Propane (LP)

One of the most common reasons for replacing American Range orifices is converting a unit between gas types. Because Liquid Propane is more energy-dense than Natural Gas, it requires a smaller orifice hole to maintain the same heat level. We provide a comprehensive selection of:

  • Hood Orifices: Adjustable hoods for oven and broiler burners.

  • Spud Orifices: Fixed-hole brass fittings for open-top burners.

  • Pilot Orifices: Tiny, precision-drilled fittings to maintain a stable pilot flame.

Using genuine American Range replacement orifices guarantees that the threading and internal taper match your gas valves perfectly, preventing leaks and ensuring a stable flame pattern.

Maintaining Peak BTU Performance

Over time, orifices can become clogged with grease or carbon buildup, leading to weak flames or “clogged burner” symptoms. Attempting to clean an orifice with a wire or drill bit can accidentally enlarge the hole, causing an over-fire condition. Instead, replacing your American Range burner orifices is the safest way to restore your equipment to factory specifications.

Our inventory supports the full lineup of American Range equipment, from the AR Restaurant Series to the high-output Medallion Series. Browse our selection of American Range orifices by model number or gas type to ensure your kitchen remains efficient and safe.
