Frequently Asked Questions
Signs of a faulty orifice include yellow or orange flames (should be blue), sooting around the burner, inconsistent heating, furnace cycling on and off frequently, or difficulty igniting. If you've recently had LP gas work done or your furnace performance has changed, the orifice may need replacement.
No. The #56 orifice is precision-calibrated for specific Atwood Hydro Flame furnace models. Using an incorrect size will result in improper gas flow, potentially causing dangerous conditions, poor heating performance, or furnace damage. Always use the exact orifice size specified for your furnace model.
This #56 orifice is designed specifically for LP gas (propane) systems. Natural gas requires different orifice sizes due to different fuel characteristics. Never attempt to use an LP orifice with natural gas or vice versa.
While mechanically inclined RV owners can replace an orifice, LP gas system work requires careful attention to safety. You must ensure proper torque, check for leaks with soapy water, and verify proper flame characteristics after installation. If you're not comfortable working with LP gas systems, have a certified RV technician perform the installation.
