Gas heater parts

[Craig-TX]

Does anybody know where I can get these? I'm not sure what they're acutally called. Burner tips? Ceramic ports? They are made of ceramic. One fits into each oraface in the manifold of an in-wall space heater out in our garage/utility room. Over the years they tend to become extremely brittle to the point of crumbling and producing an inefficient yellow flame.

Found a couple of websites which have this picture but both companies claim they can't get them.

Any help will be appreciated.

Got a brand and model number Craig?

Ollie I believe it's a Ray Glow. I'll have to pull the cover off to verify and find a m/n. Might have to fab some out of stainless. I've been told that putting a piece of screen wire in the orifice works great but it doesn't seem like that would last. Anybody know where to get stainless screen wire?

Smith-Moore-Williams might have what you're looking for.
They have just about everything.

I'll be in that area tomorrow, I'll stop and take a look around.

Ever heard of the place?

Try Grainger, if you haven't already.

They can usually get parts from the manufacturers if they don't keep it in stock. Get a manufacturer and model number and call their parts number:

(800) 323-0620

Or they've got a store down there on Imperial Drive. Plus, they offer a Farm Bureau discount.
