I actually used 1/4" copper tubing and compression fittings. Works great.

Are you creating your own pilot from a drilled cap or similar or are you using an actual pilot light? If you are using a premade pilot, they usually require 1/4".

It's not good practice to use copper with natural gas. Find some aluminum tubing and compression fittings. The sulfur/egg smell the gas co. puts in w/ natural gas reacts with the copper and causes corrosion and flakes getting into orifices.
I've read that before. Which is why they use the aluminum tubing for water heater pilots, yes?

Actually, I'm using LP, but the same pilots on my burners. Those burners should come with 1/4" compression fittings, actually.
