Steinen 1.20GPH, 60S nozzle
This is an oil nozzle, a precision consumable part that atomises fuel oil into a fine spray cone for complete combustion. It is fitted into the combustion head of an oil burner and works together with the oil pump and solenoid valve to deliver the correct fuel quantity and spray pattern. The nozzle directly influences flame shape, stability, and ignition behaviour. Oil nozzles are selected by three parameters: flow rate (in GPH or kg/h at a reference pressure), spray angle, and spray pattern (hollow, solid, or semi-solid). All three must match the burner manufacturer’s data plate. A nozzle with the correct flow rate but the wrong pattern can cause sooting, pulsation, or unstable ignition. This nozzle is from the Steinen range and carries the designation 1.20GPH, 60S. The manufacturer code is 908.892.075. When replacing an oil nozzle, always verify that the flow rate, spray angle, and pattern are identical to the original part. Nozzles are a wear item and should be changed periodically as part of burner maintenance. The thread type is standard for this class of component, but the correct seating and torque must be applied to avoid leakage or distortion.
