Patent ID: 8496471

Claim:
A method of cleaning a pilot orifice with a pilot light gas line connector assembly having (i) a first fitting end, the first fitting end having a first exterior surface, a first opening, and a first diametral interior surface, and being adapted to receive a first end of a pilot light gas line, (ii) a second fitting end, the second fitting end having a second exterior surface, a second opening, and a second diametral interior surface, and being adapted to receive a valve capable of directing forced air from a forced air source into the second end, and (iii) a passageway, the passageway operatively coupling the first fitting end and the second fitting end, and being substantially airtight, the method comprising: disconnecting a first end of the pilot light gas line from a gas delivery port; coupling the first fitting end of the pilot light gas line connector assembly to the first end of the pilot light gas line; and causing the forced air source to apply air into the pilot light gas line connector assembly through the pilot light gas line and out a pilot orifice.
