The Single-Fork Pilot-Operated Gas
Valve is an integrated, safety-focused component designed to regulate gas flow for pilot light systems in gas-powered appliances, merging precise control, durability, and streamlined installation for residential and light commercial use.
Advantages
It delivers targeted pilot light gas regulation in a compact, all-in-one design, eliminating the need for separate components and simplifying appliance setups. The solid brass construction provides inherent corrosion resistance against gaseous fuels, extending the valve’s service life and reducing long-term maintenance needs. Its leak-tight sealing (across all ports and joints) minimizes gas escape—a critical safety feature for pilot systems that operate continuously in many appliances. Additionally, the integrated mounting bracket ensures stable, secure attachment to appliance frames, while the pre-configured pilot line fitting supports seamless integration with standard ignition systems—making it a practical choice for appliances relying on pilot ignition.
Detailed Features
Structurally, this valve integrates a brass core body, a dedicated pilot gas port, a smooth-acting control stem, and a sturdy metal mounting bracket (shown in the image). The brass body (machined for compatibility with common gas types) resists degradation and maintains airtight performance over repeated use. The single-fork pilot port (with a pre-shaped fitting) connects directly to appliance pilot lines, ensuring consistent gas supply for reliable ignition. The precision control stem enables fine-tuned adjustment of pilot gas flow (from minimal supply to optimal flame size), while the adjustable mounting bracket fits diverse appliance frame layouts. Sealed joints and protective collars further enhance safety by blocking debris and preventing gas seepage.
Application Scope
It is ideal for gas-powered appliances with pilot light systems including stoves, ovens, water heaters, and space heaters—used in homes, apartments, cafes, and small food service settings. It excels at regulating gas flow to pilot lights, whether maintaining ignition for a kitchen stove’s main burners, supporting a water heater’s continuous pilot, or stabilizing a space heater’s ignition source. Whether installed in new appliances or as a replacement part for aging pilot systems, this Single-Fork Pilot-Operated Gas Valve delivers dependable, safe performance. It enhances appliance ignition reliability, reduces gas waste from pilot systems, and supports seamless integration into standard gas setups, meeting the needs of manufacturers and end-users seeking precise, durable pilot light control solutions.
