    Patent number: 7811082
    Abstract: A gas circuit with a pilot light system for ranges includes pilot tubes from a gas manifold to burner assemblies. Quick connect couplings are provided between the pilot tubes and manifold so that the pilot tube can be removed easily. Two or more tubes can be connected to a single coupling. A master shutoff interrupts flow to the cooktop without interrupting flow to the oven.
