FAQs
How do you test a SIT valve?
Testing your SIT valve is relatively straightforward. Once the pilot is lit, you can turn the gas knob to the on position. Turn the burner so that it is in the highest position before checking the pressure. Shut the burner down when complete. This will give you an idea of whether or not the SIT valve needs replacing.

What is the difference between natural gas and LPG hoses?
Catering hoses may not appear to be different. However, you should not use an LPG hose for natural gas or vice versa. This is because the natural gas hoses are permeable to LPG, and so they cannot effectively transfer butane and propane to the cooker or catering equipment.

How often should you replace LPG hoses?
LPG hoses should be replaced at least once every five years. External examinations may show damage on the outside, but you are unable to see any of the internal stresses the hose has undergone. Replacing the hose is vital for the security and safety of your team.

How do you clean a pilot burner assembly?
If you have found that your pilot burner is not lighting, or that it fails to stay lit, you may need to clean it. Cleaning a pilot assembly may require nothing more than a can of compressed air. Using the air, you can blow any dirt or debris out of the assembly.

How do you test a gas thermocouple?
Probes are essential for testing thermocouples and ensuring that they work as expected. In order to test a gas thermocouple, you will need to unscrew it from the gas valve. Using a multimeter, you can start the pilot and keep the gas control knob burning with the probe in place for a minute. You can then use the leads on the shaft of the thermocouple and on the connector. You will need to replace your thermocouple if the reader is lower than 25 millivolts.
