A gas jet nozzle is a very important element that requires replacement from time to time. Most often, this procedure is performed if it is necessary to change the type of fuel. For example, if an old stove should be taken out to the country house and connected to it with balloon (liquefied) gas, although it has always worked on natural gas , then the nozzles should be replaced. If this is not done, the device will begin to smoke heavily and fuel consumption will be much greater. The fact is that the presented element has a different cross section, which is intended for one or another type of combustible substance.
If the nozzle for the gas stove is not replaced and left in the apartment, then the burners will work very poorly. The first signs that a new nozzle is required are the appearance of smoking or low heat. The element is a small bolt, which in the center has holes of different diameters. For example, a nozzle with a large hole is required for
natural gas , and a small one for propane.
Replacing the nozzle for a gas stove is quite simple, however, during operation, all safety rules must be observed: the flow of combustible material must be turned off. Now you can remove all burners and unscrew the nozzles with a special key (7 mm). You need to do this one at a time. Each item has a corresponding number.
In order to replace the jets for gas stoves in older models, be sure to remove the top of the device. In another way to unscrew the bolts will not work. The assembly process of the plate is carried out in the reverse order.
In addition to nozzles, the device is equipped with special nozzles that are installed in each burner. Thanks to them, gas is sprayed. The nozzles for the gas stove have a different diameter, depending on the size of the burner. In addition, the size of the item presented depends on what kind of combustible substance is used. If the type of gas is changing, then new nozzles should be installed.
Modern plate models can be sold with two sets of superchargers. It should be noted that not all nozzles can be easily found on sale. Although if you have a stove from a well-known manufacturer and you contact a specialized store, then there should be no problems with the search. If the purchased items did not fit, then you should not try to independently reduce or increase the diameter of the holes. Qualitatively, this can only be done in the factory. In addition, you can make a mistake with the angle of inclination of the passage channel, which will lead to the wrong direction of the gas stream. In the worst case, an explosion may occur.
If the stores do not have suitable equipment, then you can contact the manufacturing plants or service centers. To replace the nozzles, a socket wrench is required. The procedure itself is not difficult. After that, the new elements can be adjusted.
So, both the nozzle and the nozzle for the gas stove are mandatory elements, without which the device will not be able to work. It is advisable to choose the spare parts that are designed specifically for your device.
