Finding the Right Replacement Valve or Orifice

Step 1: Identify your grill by serial number. Lynx used multiple valve styles over the years—your serial number is the fastest way to match the correct part. Start here: Locate your serial number.

Step 2: Confirm the valve type by inspection. If needed, remove the control panel and visually match the valve style. (This is especially helpful if the grill has been rebuilt over the years.)

Step 3: Choose the valve you need.

• Main Burner Valve
• Rotisserie Valve
• ProSear Valve
• Safety Valve
• Smoker Burner Valve

Step 4: Do you have your original orifice?
Valves typically do not include orifices. In most cases you’ll re-use your original orifice. Orifices are usually only replaced when:

• Converting gas type (Natural Gas ↔ Propane)
• The original orifice is missing or damaged

Step 5: Order what you need from TheBBQDepot.com. Once your parts arrive, follow the steps below to install safely.

How to Replace a Main Burner Valve on a Lynx Grill

PRO Tip: Before replacing a valve or orifice, inspect the manifold for corrosion, soft spots, or pinholes. If a manifold is compromised, replacing only the valve won’t solve the issue.

Important manifold note: On many 2005-and-older Lynx grills (Premier / early series), certain manifolds have been discontinued. On many 2006-and-newer grills, the manifold assembly may include the valves—and you’ll typically transfer your original orifice (or install a new one if needed).

1. Turn off the gas supply at the source and confirm the grill is fully cool.
2. Remove the control knobs and set them aside.
3. Remove the control panel to access the valve/manifold.
4. If your grill uses a valve with a microswitch (commonly 2006+), disconnect the ignition wires from the microswitch.
   For many pre-2006 grills, you can remove the valve without dealing with a microswitch.
5. The valve threads into the manifold. Carefully unthread the old valve from the manifold.
6. Apply yellow gas-rated PTFE tape (do not use white water-rated tape) or a gas-rated sealant like pipe stick to the valve threads (follow the sealant directions).
7. Thread the new valve into the manifold and tighten securely (snug + aligned; do not overtighten).
8. Reconnect ignition wires if applicable (microswitch models).
9. Restore gas supply and leak-test every connection with soapy water. If bubbles form, stop and correct the leak before lighting.
