Weil McLain 560-742-860 Pilot Tubing
The Weil-McLain 560-742-860 Pilot Tubing is a critical OEM gas boiler part engineered for precise fuel delivery in standing pilot and electronic ignition systems. This 1/8" OD x 22 3/4" aluminum pilot tube features factory-installed compression fittings, ensuring a leak-resistant seal between the gas valve and the pilot burner assembly. Specifically designed for Weil-McLain CGa, EG, PFG, and LGB Series 1 boilers, this component provides the mechanical integrity needed for stable flame performance and reliable system ignition. High-purity aluminum construction allows for optimal thermal resistance and corrosion protection within the combustion chamber. For field technicians, the pre-formed design simplifies boiler pilot line replacement, reducing labor time during annual maintenance or emergency service calls. It is essential to ensure proper routing away from high-heat surfaces to maintain consistent gas flow dynamics. This replacement pilot tubing is a standard-stock item for maintaining peak efficiency in residential and commercial hydronic heating applications.
Key Benefits for Technicians:- Precision Fitment: Pre-cut to 22-3/4 inches with 1/8-inch outer diameter for direct compatibility with Weil-McLain boiler models.
- Complete Assembly: Includes factory-installed compression fittings, eliminating the need for on-site flaring or specialized tools.
- High-Durability Material: Constructed from corrosion-resistant aluminum to withstand the rigors of standard combustion environments.
- OEM Standards: Guaranteed genuine Weil-McLain part performance for maintaining equipment safety certifications.
Is this tubing compatible with both Natural Gas and Propane units?
Yes, this tubing is suitable for both gas types, provided it is used within the pressure and temperature ratings of the Weil-McLain gas-fired boiler series specified.
Does this part replace the pilot line for both standing pilot and spark ignition?
This specific assembly is utilized across several Series 1 gas boilers that require an 1/8" OD feed line, though technicians should verify the specific length requirement for their ignition configuration.
Can I cut or bend this tubing to fit other models?
While the aluminum pilot tubing is malleable, it is precision-formed for specific Weil-McLain models. Significant modifications or sharp kinks can restrict gas flow and compromise safety.
