❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Are these Birko-manufactured tubes?
A: No – these are high-quality compatible replacements, not OEM Birko-branded parts.
Q: Will these fit my bug zapper?
A: Yes, if your unit is a Birko 1004103 or 1004109, or uses 18W T8 G13 UV tubes.
Q: How often should I replace the tubes?
A: We recommend replacing them every 12 months. UV output drops over time even if the tube still lights up.
Q: Should I replace both tubes at once?
A: Yes – mismatched or aged tubes reduce performance. Always replace both tubes together for optimal effectiveness.
Q: My unit has separate starters – do I need to change those too?
A: If your unit uses separate starters (e.g., Birko #1315052), it’s a good idea to replace them at the same time.
Q: Is installation easy?
A: Yes. Turn off the power, twist out the old tubes, and install the new ones. Clean the tube surface after handling to remove fingerprints or oils.
Keep your commercial insect trap working at full efficiency with these reliable, easy-to-install UV replacement tubes – ideal for food service, industrial, and hospitality environments.
