Steinen 22.00GPH, 60SS nozzle
This is a Steinen oil nozzle, catalogue article 908.892.064, manufacturer code 22.00GPH,60SS. Oil nozzles are precision consumable parts that atomise fuel oil into a fine cone, enabling complete combustion in the burner head. The nozzle sits at the end of the oil gun assembly, receiving pressurised oil from the pump through the solenoid valve. Its rating in GPH, spray angle, and spray pattern together define how the flame is shaped and positioned in the combustion chamber. When selecting a replacement, all three parameters – flow rate, angle, and pattern – must match the burner data plate. A nozzle with the correct flow but a wrong pattern (e.g., hollow instead of solid, or vice versa) can produce sooting, pulsation, or unstable ignition. The thread size and type must also be compatible with the oil gun. Nozzles are sensitive to wear and contamination; a worn or partially blocked nozzle causes poor atomisation, uneven burning, and increased soot formation. This part is identified by its manufacturer code 22.00GPH,60SS, which indicates its specified flow and design characteristics. Always verify that the existing nozzle’s markings correspond to the burner manufacturer’s specification before fitting a replacement.
