Southbend Range 1008753 Orifice Hood Drill Size 53

Product Description

The SOUTHBEND RANGE 1008753 is a replacement orifice hood machined to a drill size 53 orifice. Orifice hoods regulate gas flow at the burner by metering the fuel through a precision-drilled opening. This component is installed at the burner inlet or pilot assembly on commercial cooking equipment and is a direct OEM-style replacement part. Licensed commercial kitchen technicians and qualified gas appliance service professionals handle this repair. The drill size 53 designation corresponds to a specific flow rate calibrated to the burner design — using the wrong orifice size affects combustion, flame characteristics, and appliance safety.

This orifice hood is designed for use in commercial cooking appliances manufactured by Southbend Range. Typical applications include gas ranges, ovens, and combination units found in restaurant and foodservice environments. It is used during service calls to restore proper gas flow after orifice wear, blockage, or when converting burner configurations. Technicians replacing this part should verify the drill size matches the original specification for the specific appliance model before installation.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement orifice hood for Southbend Range commercial gas cooking appliances requiring a drill size 53 orifice. Verify the required orifice size against the appliance service manual before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed gas appliance technician in accordance with local codes and the appliance manufacturer service documentation. Shut off the gas supply at the service valve and allow the appliance to cool completely before beginning any burner disassembly. Use the appropriate open-end or flare wrench sized for the orifice fitting — do not overtighten, as the orifice hood is a small precision fitting and thread damage will affect sealing. After installation, perform a leak check at all disturbed connections using an approved gas leak detection solution before returning the appliance to service.
