Steinen Oil nozzle 5.50GPH / 60SS

The Steinen 5.50GPH / 60SS is an oil nozzle designed for use in burners. It has a capacity of 5.5 gallons per hour and a spray angle of 60 degrees. The spray pattern is SS, which delivers a semi-solid cone distribution. This nozzle is intended for applications requiring large capacities and is suitable for general purpose use. It functions to atomize fuel optimally, improving combustion efficiency and reducing harmful emissions.

When selecting a replacement oil nozzle, ensure that the capacity, spray angle, and spray pattern match the original specifications. The nozzle must be compatible with the burner's fuel pump pressure and flow requirements. Installation involves removing the old nozzle and installing the new one with proper torque, ensuring a secure fit without cross-threading. Always verify the nozzle's specifications against the burner's manual before ordering.

Common failures of oil nozzles include clogging due to debris or carbon buildup, which can cause uneven flame, soot formation, or reduced heating efficiency. A worn or damaged nozzle may lead to improper atomization, resulting in incomplete combustion and increased emissions. If the burner fails to ignite or produces a pulsating flame, inspect the nozzle for blockages or wear. Regular cleaning or replacement is recommended to maintain optimal performance.
