Steinen Oil nozzle 9.00GPH / 80SS

The Steinen 9.00GPH / 80SS is an oil nozzle for oil-fired burners. It delivers a flow rate of 9 GPH through an 80 ° spray angle in an SS spray pattern. The nozzle atomises fuel oil into a spray that the burner ignites. Its 80 ° angle and SS pattern define the shape and density of that spray inside the combustion chamber.

Nozzles of this type are selected by matching the flow rate, spray angle and spray pattern to the burner and combustion chamber, and by matching the thread and seat to the nozzle adapter. Mounting forms differ between manufacturers, so the thread size, the length and the sealing face must be compared with the old part before ordering. The nozzle is fitted in the adapter with the correct tightening torque and without touching the orifice.

Nozzles of this type commonly fail by orifice wear, clogging or a distorted spray pattern. The equipment then shows a smoky flame, poor ignition, soot deposits or a rise in fuel consumption. Check the spray pattern, the flow rate and the strainer, and replace the nozzle if the pattern is uneven or the flow has drifted.
