Where does the gas come from for a pilot burner?

The pilot burner is supplied gas from the gas valve through a 1/4″ pipe (usually aluminum). At the entrance to the pilot assembly, there is an orifice that limits the amount of gas supplied to the pilot. The video below covers how the pilot gas orifice works. The pilot burner provides a small flame to warm the end of the thermocouple.
