Commercial Pilot Safety Valves for Grills & Griddles

Pilot safety valves are critical components that control gas flow to burners and ensure safe appliance operation. They work by keeping the gas supply open only when the pilot flame is lit, automatically shutting it off if the flame goes out. This prevents unburned gas leaks, protecting both kitchen staff and equipment

Signs of failing pilot safety valves in grills and griddles include difficulty maintaining a consistent pilot flame or the flame going out frequently. Users may notice delayed ignition or the pilot light not staying lit, which can cause safety shut-offs. Additionally, gas odors or unusual noises near the valve can indicate leaks or blockages.

We offer authentic replacement parts, including dual pilots, 3/16" fittings, pilot tip assemblies, 1/2" gas pilot valves, 1/4" CCT pilot outlets, and tube pilot valve LT kits (0.187").

FAQs

Why does my pilot safety valve fail to keep the flame lit?

Flame failure is often the result of a faulty thermocouple or a blocked pilot orifice

Why is the pilot flame flickering or weak?

Airflow disturbances, clogged orifices, or low gas pressure may be responsible.

How does a pilot-operated safety valve improve safety in pressure systems like grills?

It precisely controls gas flow, automatically relieving pressure when it exceeds a preset safe limit.

How do I know if my pilot-operated safety valve needs replacement?

Look for flame outage, gas smell, or inconsistent ignition indicating valve failure or blockage

What should I do if I smell gas near the pilot safety valve?

Immediately shut off the gas supply and have a professional inspect for leaks or valve damage.

Why is my commercial grill pilot valve shutting off unexpectedly?

It may be caused by a faulty thermocouple or dirt blocking the valve’s gas flow.
