What is the purpose of a crossover on a gas burner?

The purpose of a crossover on a gas burner is to ensure smooth lighting of all burners simultaneously. A crossover connects multiple burners, allowing gas to flow from one burner to another. This design helps to facilitate the ignition process, where the flame from one burner lights the adjacent burners, preventing delayed lighting and reducing the risk of unburned gas accumulation.

This is especially important in systems that have multiple gas burners, as it promotes uniform flame distribution and ensures that the entire system ignites safely and efficiently. Effective crossover configurations enhance the overall performance of the burner system, ensuring a reliable and consistent operation.
