Installing a Gas Lantern Burner Tip

All of the burner tips you purchase from Gas Lantern Parts come with their own set of clear instructions. Yet it’s always a good idea to educate yourself ahead of time, especially on a DIY project! Have no fear, DIY gas lantern burner tip replacement is an easy and uncomplicated process, especially with a little help from the pros at Gas Lantern Parts. 

• Turn off gas supply: The first step to installing a new burner tip on a gas lantern is to turn off the gas supply to the lantern.
• Remove the old burner tip: Next, unscrew the existing burner tip carefully with pliers or a wrench, being careful not to damage or break the surrounding parts.
• Install new burner tip: Yep, the next step is to place the new burner tip in and screw it into place. Don’t over-tighten but ensure that it is sealed.
• Test for leaks & function: To confirm the seal is intact, perform a leak test. Turn on the gas supply and check for any signs of leakage around the burner tip. If there are no evident leaks, start the burner and adjust the flame as necessary. *If the flame is not flowing smoothly and consistently, the seal may not be tight, so lightly tighten the tip again. 
• If you encounter any struggles along the way or can’t seem to get it just right, simply call us at Gas Lantern Parts – we’ll walk you through the entire process and troubleshoot any issues that arise along the way.

Maintenance Tips for Gas Lantern Burner Tips

To avoid constant replacement of the burner tip on your gas lantern, just carry out a few easy maintenance steps to keep your entire lamp at optimal performance. Regular clearing is a must! Clean the burner tip and the area around it every few weeks or so (for high-usage lamps). This can prevent soot buildup and keep your lantern operating smoothly. If your gas lantern is outside, it’s also important to cover or protect the burner tip from debris and moisture. That can be accomplished by purchasing a wind guard, which acts as double duty to keep your flame from extinguishing and protecting your lantern. Every now and then, inspect your lantern closely for damage. Cracks and other issues can wreak havoc on the performance of your lantern and result in buying a completely new lantern rather than small repairs that help your lantern withstand the test of time. If in doubt, contact Gas Lantern Parts and we’ll help you determine the problem and offer a solution for your gas lantern woes!
