Know before you buy
No, this specific pilot orifice is designed exclusively for propane gas systems. Using it with a natural gas heater will result in improper fuel flow and ignition issues.
Check your existing pilot orifice for the part number or consult your heater's manual. The 004308F is compatible with a wide range of Raypak IID, R-series, and Spa-Pak models, but verifying your specific model number against the manufacturer's list is the best way to ensure a perfect fit.
This is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) part produced by Raypak. It is the exact same component used during the original assembly of your heater.
The pilot orifice regulates the flow of propane gas to the pilot burner. It ensures the correct amount of fuel reaches the igniter, which is essential for the reliable and safe startup of your heating system.
While it is a direct replacement part, working with gas lines and heating systems requires caution. If you are not comfortable or experienced with gas appliance maintenance, it is recommended to hire a qualified pool technician to ensure the installation is safe and leak-free.
