ECONO GAS PILOTS

#1 in Retractable Energy Efficient Constant Pilot Ignition

For a good dependable system without all the bells & whistles

The Econo Pilot System offers all the dependability of the TORNADO™ original pilots but incorporates some component parts that are less expensive. These parts including the hoisting cable, which is galvanized versus stainless steel; the fuel hose is a cloth braid versus a S.S. wire braid, etc. We have not decreased the dependability, but have slightly reduced the long life durability that is sometimes not a concern. If you require dependability and a lower cost, the Econo Pilot System #3 pilots and #6 pilots can be purchased with this option.

FEATURES:
Constant pilot for positive ignition, 24 hours a day
Extreme fuel efficient compared to other pilot systems on the market
(Consider the quick pay-back with the TORNADO™ system)
Totally retractable to allow easy future inspection and servicing of pilot systems
Ceramic pilot nozzles minimize nozzle break down (see options)
Successfully tested for winds in excess on 200 MPH by University of Calgary Department of Mechanical Engineering
Proven Reliability in the most adverse and windy conditions
(tested and used on the mountain tops of Pincher Creek Pass)
Backed by proven performance and service
Satisfaction Guaranteed
