Frequently Asked Questions
Will this burner fit my stock pot or wok cooker?
This is a universal bottom-entry replacement burner used across commercial stock-pot cookers, Chinese wok cookers, deep-pan fryers and hot-plate ranges. Match it by jet count (20 jets), burner diameter (8 inch) and the gas inlet thread (3/4 or 1/2 inch BSP female bottom entry). If your existing burner shares those, the R8 will fit.
How do I know if I need the R11, R8 or R6?
Choose by burner diameter and output: R11 is 11 inch with 32 jets for the highest output, R8 is 8 inch with 20 jets, and R6 is 5.75 inch with 10 jets for smaller pots and boiling rings. Measure the burner you are replacing and match the diameter and jet count.
Do I need the Natural Gas or LPG version?
Select Natural Gas if your site is on mains gas (typically 20 mbar) or LPG if you run on bottled or bulk propane (typically 37 mbar). The jets are calibrated to the gas type, so order the variant that matches your supply. A Gas Safe registered engineer can confirm your gas type.
What is included and what are the gas inlet sizes?
You receive the cast-iron burner with 20 brass jets pre-fitted for your chosen gas type. The main gas inlet is 3/4 or 1/2 inch BSP female (bottom entry) with a 1/4 inch BSP female side inlet supplied plugged. Gas hose, valve, regulator and connectors are not included.
Is it safe to use and who should install it?
The burner is a gas system component and must be installed and commissioned by a Gas Safe registered engineer, who will set the correct pressure and check for leaks. Fitted and commissioned correctly, it provides stable, even heat for commercial cooking.
