Steinen Oil nozzle 0988S1-0

The Steinen Oil nozzle 0988S1-0 is a high-pressure oil nozzle with a capacity of 1 gallon per hour and a spray angle of 80 degrees. It features an S (solid cone) spray pattern, designed to produce a fine, uniform atomized spray for efficient combustion. This nozzle is suitable for use in oil-fired burners, where it atomizes fuel oil into a fine mist to mix with air for complete burning. The article number for this item is 908.892.096.

When selecting a replacement oil nozzle of this type, verify the flow rate (in GPH), spray angle, and spray pattern against the burner manufacturer's specification. The nozzle must match the burner's required capacity and angle, typically 1.00 GPH and 80 degrees, and the pattern (solid, hollow, or semi-solid) must be correct for the combustion head. Check the burner data plate for the exact nozzle type, as markings on the old part may be worn. The thread is typically 1/8" BSP or NPT, depending on the burner make.

Oil nozzles of this kind can fail due to wear or blockage from debris, leading to poor atomization. Symptoms include sooting, pulsation, unstable ignition, or incomplete combustion. If these issues occur, inspect the nozzle for clogging or damage and replace it as part of annual maintenance.
