Whirlpool WP5187M026-60 Range Orifice
Product Description
The Whirlpool WP5187M026-60 is an essential gas range component referred to as a burner orifice. It's a small, exact opening that controls the flow of gas to a particular burner on your Whirlpool range. Consider it a water supply for your gas burner. By carefully controlling the gas volume, the orifice ensures sure your burner provides the desired flame size and heat output. This controlled flame size allows consistent cooking and simmering at low temperatures, perfect for delicate recipes. The orifice screws into the gas line which supplies the burner and operates in conjunction with the igniter to generate a secure and effective gas flow. When you turn the knob on your range, it releases a valve, enabling gas from flowing through the line and through the orifice.
