Delavan Oil nozzle P0060-60W5

The Delavan Oil nozzle P0060-60W5 is a precision consumable component that atomizes fuel oil into a fine spray for combustion in oil burners. It has a flow rate of 0.6 gallons per hour (GPH) and a spray angle of 60 degrees, with a spray pattern designated as W. This nozzle is identified by the article numbers P0060-60W5, 3042038, and 345.892.072, and is an OEM equivalent to part number 3042038. It is typically used in domestic or light commercial oil burners, but specific appliance compatibility is not claimed.

Parts of this type are selected by three parameters: flow rate in gallons per hour (GPH) or kilograms per hour at the reference pressure, spray angle (typically 30 to 80 degrees), and spray pattern (hollow, solid, or semi-solid). The thread size must also match the burner's oil line connection. When replacing a nozzle of this class, all three parameters must match the values stated on the burner data plate. Always handle the nozzle with care to avoid damaging the precision orifice or filter.

Using the correct flow rate but the wrong spray pattern can cause sooting, flame pulsation, or unreliable ignition. The spray angle and pattern determine how the flame fits inside the combustion head, affecting heat transfer and emissions. A nozzle of this kind is a consumable item that should be replaced as part of routine maintenance or when flame quality deteriorates.
