The Truth About P-Nuts
Understanding a few basic facts about the
Pilot Plug will equip you to trouble shoot 90%
of Pilot and Regulator problems.
The Truth About P-Nuts
The Pilot Plug operates within a few thousandths
of an inch of both its seats.
Gas flowing past the Pilot Plug must be clean.
Gas flowing past the Pilot Plug must be dry.
A loose seat can keep the lower Pilot Plug port
from opening.
