Delavan Valve 60101-001

The Delavan Valve 60101-001 is an oil filter component manufactured by Delavan, categorized under oil filters, coils, tubes, and hoses. It is installed in the fuel supply line between the tank and the oil pump, or sometimes integrated into the pump body. This valve controls the flow of oil to the nozzle and, in solenoid-operated versions, provides rapid shut-off for a clean flame-out. The SKU is 60101-001.

Parts of this type are selected according to port size, pressure rating, coil voltage and resistance, and thread type. The connections must match the existing pipework, and the electrical data must be compatible with the burner control that energises the solenoid. When replacing a valve of this class, check the direction of flow marked on the body and the pressure range it is designed for. The coil should be tested with a multimeter before installation.

If the solenoid coil is open-circuit or shorted, the burner may not cut off fuel completely, leading to after-drip or delayed ignition. A mismatch in pressure rating can cause leakage or failure to open fully. The shaft seal and o-rings should be inspected for hardening or cracking, especially if the oil has been preheated.
