Supplier of a No 3 gas jet wanted.
« on: March 16, 2018, 06:21:06 pm »

As title - does anyone know where I could get hold of a number 3 gas jet for a gas burner please?

I've tried the usual suspects but the smallest available seems to be number 5.

Thanks in advance.

Im pretty sure Phil at Forrest Classics have them but beware, they block up with just a spec of dust. Ive built some very small 3/4" dia burners and they happily run on no.5 jets, indeed I dont use no.3 jets ever due to the block up for fun scenario. Best of luck. Nigel.

Thank you both for all your help  :-))

I'll try to stick with the No 5 jet if the smaller one has a tendency to block.

It's a tiny 30mm gas burner in place of a Bassett Lowke, "chicken feed", type and I'd like to restrict the heat a little as it's a bit fierce at the moment.

Obviously I can control the flame, to a degree, with the tap on the gas tank but it all seems a bit hit and miss...

Thanks again,
