Delavan 0.60GPH, 60W (5) nozzle

This is a Delavan oil nozzle with a flow rating of 0.60 GPH, identified by manufacturer codes P0060-60W5, 3042038, and catalogue article 345.892.072. It belongs to the category of oil nozzles, which are precision consumable components that atomise fuel oil into a fine spray cone for complete combustion. Parts of this type are selected by three parameters: flow rate in gallons per hour (GPH) or kilograms per hour at the reference pressure, spray angle (typically 30 to 80 degrees), and spray pattern (hollow, solid, or semi-solid). The thread size must also match the burner’s oil line connection. When replacing a nozzle of this class, all three parameters must match the values stated on the burner data plate. Using the correct flow rate but the wrong spray pattern can cause sooting, flame pulsation, or unreliable ignition. The spray angle and pattern determine how the flame fits inside the combustion head, affecting heat transfer and emissions. A nozzle of this size is generally used in domestic or light commercial oil burners, but no specific appliance compatibility is claimed. The part is a consumable item that should be replaced as part of routine maintenance or when flame quality deteriorates. Always handle the nozzle with care to avoid damaging the precision orifice or filter. For exact selection, refer to the burner manufacturer’s specification for flow rate, angle, and pattern.
