Delavan Oil nozzles 00800-60W7

The Delavan 00800-60W7 is an oil nozzle with a capacity of 8 gallons per hour (GPH) and a spray angle of 60 degrees. It features a W spray pattern, which is an all-purpose type that is neither truly hollow nor solid, and can often be used in place of either solid or hollow cone nozzles. This nozzle regulates the fuel amount entering the burner and determines the flame shape and structure, contributing to efficient combustion. It is compatible with flow rates ranging from 0.40 to 8.00 GPH.

Oil nozzles of this type are selected based on the required flow rate (GPH), spray angle, and spray pattern to match the burner's specifications. The nozzle must be compatible with the burner's air pattern and fuel delivery system. Installation involves removing the old nozzle and installing the new one with proper torque, ensuring the nozzle is clean and correctly seated. Always compare the nozzle's markings with the burner's requirements before fitting.

When oil nozzles of this kind fail or become clogged, the burner may produce an unstable flame, incomplete combustion, or soot buildup. The equipment might exhibit reduced heating efficiency, increased fuel consumption, or emit smoke. Regular inspection and cleaning of the nozzle can prevent these issues.
