Vulcan Hart 00-920186-00014 Natural Gas Orifice Spud

Product Description

The VULCAN HART 00-920186-00014 is a genuine OEM natural gas orifice spud designed for use in commercial foodservice cooking equipment. The orifice spud is a small but critical metering component that controls the flow of natural gas to a burner. It threads into the burner valve or manifold and limits gas volume to maintain the correct air-to-fuel ratio for stable ignition and combustion. As a factory OEM part, it is manufactured to the same dimensional and flow specifications as the original component. This part weighs 0.10 pounds. Licensed commercial kitchen technicians and gas appliance service professionals are the typical installers.

This orifice spud is intended for natural gas applications in VULCAN HART commercial cooking equipment. Typical install scenarios include burner service, gas valve replacement, or manifold overhaul on ranges, fryers, griddles, and similar gas-fired units. Because orifice spuds are calibrated to a specific gas type and BTU/h output, this part is not interchangeable with propane or LP orifice spuds. Using the correct OEM spud ensures the appliance operates within its rated performance envelope and maintains compliance with the original equipment certification.

• Calibrated for natural gas - not compatible with LP or propane applications

Compatibility

Designed as a genuine OEM replacement orifice spud for natural gas VULCAN HART commercial cooking equipment. Refer to the equipment service manual or parts list to confirm this spud is specified for your model 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. Always shut off the gas supply at the manual shutoff valve and verify zero pressure before removing or installing any orifice spud. Do not substitute this natural gas spud in an LP or propane application, as incorrect orifice sizing creates a combustion hazard. After installation, perform a leak check at all disturbed fittings using an approved leak-detection solution before returning the unit to service.
