GE ZGU375NSD2SS cooktop looking for info on the gas tubes

[kenc295]

On attempting to remove all of the burners on the top side of our monogram gas cooktop, four of them removed fine, the fifth just spun.  Well, to get the top off you have to remove the burner assemblies so I was stuck.

Decided to cut an access hole in the bottom of the unit, I found out it was double bottomed like an oil tanker, and I found that the center (the stuck one) jet assembly had snapped off an the aluminum gas tube twisted into a wreck. Turns out the pot metal jet assembly threads had frozen into the brass venturi tube, and rather than the tube coming out topside like the others, it wrecked the jet assembly and tube.

So.....unfortunately, in trying to get through the corrugated second bottom using at first (to see what the lay of the land was) a 4-1/2" hole saw, I also gouged one of the other aluminum tubes.

I was able to obtain a new jet assembly, BUT all of the tubes are no longer available, and theya re not a conventional flare, like a car brake line they are some kind of double ridge "flare".

 

Any ideas on how I can obtain these tubes (WB28X10037 and WB28X10033) or at least the tool to make the "flare"?  I haven't even been able to obtain a name for this "flare".

With the holes you cut it’s not likely safe anyway. Parts unavailable, owner destroyed taking it apart = new cooktop.

Cutting an access hole in the bottom of a cooktop is not going to make it unsafe. It is not a hermetically sealed item.
