It is a pilot supply line only: it feeds the small \u003cstrong\u003epilot flame\u003c\/strong\u003e that lights the main burner and heats the \u003cstrong\u003ethermocouple\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003ethermopile\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is why a clean, unkinked line matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eBASO Y99AR series\u003c\/strong\u003e covers three common pilot tubing kits: the \u003cstrong\u003eY99AR-1\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cstrong\u003e1\/4-inch\u003c\/strong\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003e60-inch\u003c\/strong\u003e with four \u003cstrong\u003e1\/4-inch\u003c\/strong\u003e fittings), the \u003cstrong\u003eY99AR-2\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cstrong\u003e1\/8-inch\u003c\/strong\u003e by \u003cstrong\u003e18-inch\u003c\/strong\u003e with two \u003cstrong\u003e1\/8-inch\u003c\/strong\u003e fittings) and this \u003cstrong\u003eY99AR-3\u003c\/strong\u003e, the long \u003cstrong\u003e1\/8-inch\u003c\/strong\u003e version.

A \u003cstrong\u003ekinked\u003c\/strong\u003e or flattened section, a crushed \u003cstrong\u003eferrule\u003c\/strong\u003e or corrosion at a fitting restricts gas, and the result is a \u003cstrong\u003eweak or lazy pilot flame\u003c\/strong\u003e, a pilot that will not stay lit or a gas smell at a connection. Before condemning the tube, clear the \u003cstrong\u003epilot orifice\u003c\/strong\u003e, check the \u003cstrong\u003ethermocouple\u003c\/strong\u003e and confirm gas supply to the control.

Finish with a \u003cstrong\u003egas leak test\u003c\/strong\u003e.
