Abstract:
A method of assembling a pilot burner assembly for use with a gas fired appliance includes inserting a retention element of a gas supply line through a slot defined by a retaining ledge of a second bracket plate, rotating an outlet orifice of the gas supply line such that the second retention element engages the retaining ledge, and inserting a pilot guard through first and second pilot guard apertures defined by respective first and second bracket plates such that a retention element of the pilot guard cooperatively engages the retention element of the gas supply line to maintain a connection between the pilot guard and the gas supply line.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of assembling a pilot burner assembly for use with a gas fired appliance including a main burner and a gas supply line including an outlet orifice, the pilot burner assembly including a bracket and a pilot guard, the bracket including a first plate and a second plate, each of the first and second plates having a pilot guard aperture defined therein, the bracket second plate including a retaining ledge extending into the pilot guard aperture and defining a slot, the pilot guard having a first end defining a gas inlet and a second end defining a gas outlet, the pilot guard including an elongate body and a pilot hood disposed at the second end, the pilot guard further including a first retention element, and the gas supply line further including a second retention element, the method comprising:\n inserting the second retention element through the slot defined by the retaining ledge; rotating the outlet orifice such that the second retention element engages the retaining ledge; and inserting the pilot guard through each pilot guard aperture such that the first retention element cooperatively engages the second retention element to maintain a connection between the pilot guard and the gas supply line.
