B. Check/Adjust Electrodes

Check the electrode tip settings. Adjust if necessary
to comply with the dimensions shown in Figure 3. To
adjust, loosen the electrode clamp screw and slide/rotate
electrodes as necessary. Securely tighten the clamp
screw when fi nished.

Section: Nozzle Assembly Maintenance

Correct Nozzle and Flow
Rate Required

Incorrect nozzles and fl ow rates could

result in impaired combustion, under-

fi ring, over-fi ring, sooting, puff-back of

hot gases, smoke and potential fi re or

asphyxiation hazards.

Use only nozzles having the brand, fl ow rate (gph),

spray angle and pattern specifi ed by the appliance

manufacturer.
Follow the appliance manufacturer’s specifi cations for the

required pump outlet pressure for the nozzle, since this

affects the fl ow rate.

Nozzle manufacturers calibrate nozzle fl ow rates at

100 psig.
When pump pressures are higher than 100 psig, the

actual nozzle fl ow rate will be greater than the gph

stamped on the nozzle body. (Example: A 1.00 gph

nozzle at 140 psig = 1.18 gph)

Securely tighten the nozzle (90 torque inch pounds). For typical

nozzle fl ow rates at various pressures refer to Table 2.

Use care when removing or
installing an oil nozzle

A damaged nozzle could cause impaired combustion,

sooting, puffback of hot gases, oil leakage and

potential fi re or asphyxiation hazards.

Inspect the nozzle adapter to insure that the sealing

surface is not grooved or scratched.
To insure that the nozzle functions properly, check the

orifi ce and strainer for dirt, scratches or other damage

before installation.
Do NOT attempt to install or remove a nozzle without

securing the adapter to prevent seriously damaging

the alignment.
Use care when handling the nozzle line assembly

to prevent changing the electrode tip settings or

damaging the ceramic electrode insulators.
Insure that the electrode setting match the values

shown in Figure 3.

Figure 2. Nozzle, Line & Electrode Assembly

If the nozzle is already installed, remove the nozzle
line assembly to verify that the nozzle size and spray
pattern are correct for the application (per equipment
manufacturer’s information). Verify that the electrode
tip settings comply with Figure 3.
