Delavan Solenoid-operated valve 60101-002

The Delavan Solenoid-operated valve 60101-002 is a component used in oil burner fuel systems. It is a solenoid-operated valve that controls the fuel flow from the oil pump to the nozzle. Its primary function is to provide a sharp, clean cut-off when the burner control de-energises the solenoid, preventing after-drip and ensuring the burner shuts down correctly. It is typically mounted between the pump outlet and the nozzle line. This item is categorized as an oil filter.

Parts of this type are selected by supply voltage and frequency, hydraulic connection threads, and flow capacity relative to the burner's firing rate. The valve must be compatible with the pressure range delivered by the pump. During installation, check that the solenoid coil is securely fastened and that the electrical connections match the burner control output.

Common failures on such valves include coil burnout, which leaves the burner unable to cut off cleanly, and wear on the valve seat or plunger.
