The jet for a gas stove is a very important element that needs to be replaced from time to time. Most often, this procedure is performed if it is necessary to change the type of fuel. For example, if the old stove should be taken to the country house and bottled (liquefied) gas should be connected to it, although it has been running on natural gas all the time, then the jets should be replaced. If this is not done, then the device will begin to smoke heavily and fuel consumption will be much higher. The fact is that the presented element has a different section, which is intended for one or another type of combustible substance.
If the jet for the gas stove is not replaced and left in the apartment, the burners will work very poorly. The first signs that a new nozzle is needed are the appearance of smoking or low fire. The element is a small bolt, which has holes of different diameters in the center. For example, natural gas requires a nozzle with a large orifice, propane requires asmall.
Replacing the nozzle for a gas stove is quite simple, but during operation, all safety rules must be observed: the supply of combustible matter must be turned off. Now you can remove all the burners and unscrew the nozzles with a special key (7 mm). This must be done in sequence. Each item has a corresponding number.
In order to replace the nozzles for gas stoves in older models, be sure to remove the top of the device. You won't be able to unscrew the bolts otherwise. 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, the gas is sprayed. Nozzles for a gas stove have a different diameter, depending on the size of the burner. In addition, the size of the presented element depends on what kind of combustible substance is used. If the type of gas changes, then new nozzles should be installed.
Modern stove models can be sold with two sets of blowers. 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 elements do not fit, then you should not try to reduce or increase the diameter of the holes yourself. 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 jet. At worstexplosion may occur.
If there is no suitable equipment in stores, then you can contact the manufacturing plants or service centers. A socket wrench is required to replace injectors. The procedure itself is not difficult. After that, new elements can be adjusted.
So, both the nozzle and the jet for the gas stove are indispensable elements, without which the device will not be able to work. It is advisable to choose those spare parts that are intended specifically for your device.
