Check/adjust "Z" dimension - "F" head

Figure 2 — “F” heads (plus burner detail for all head styles) (see Table 3 for dimensions)

1. See Figure 2 above.￿The important "Z" dimension is the distance from the

face of the nozzle to the flat face of the head (or heat shield, if applicable).

 

 

 

 

This distance for F heads is 1 ¹⁄₈" (1 ³⁄₈" if the air tube has a heat shield).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The "Z" dimension is factory set for burners shipped with the air tube in-

 

 

 

 

stalled.￿Even if factory set, verify that the "Z" dimension has not been changed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. Use the following procedure to adjust the "Z" dimension, if it is not correct:

• Turn off power to the burner.

•Disconnect the oil connector tube from the nozzle line.

• See Figure 2.￿Loosen the splined nut from the nozzle line.￿Loosen the hex head screw securing the escutcheon plate to the burner housing.

• Place the end of a ruler at the face of the nozzle and, using a straight edge across the head, measure the distance to the face of the head.￿(A

￿Beckett T500 gauge may also be used.)

Slide the nozzle line forward or back until this dimension for F heads is 1¹⁄₈" (1³⁄₈" to the face of the heat shield, if applicable).

• Tighten the hex head screw to secure the escutcheon plate to the burner chassis.￿Then tighten the splined nut and attach the oil connector tube.

3. Recheck the "Z" dimension periodically when servicing to ensure the es- cutcheon plate has not been moved.￿You will need to reset the "Z" dimen- sion if you replace the air tube or nozzle line assembly.

The Beckett Z ￿￿￿￿￿(part number Z-2000) is available to permit checking the ￿head "Z"￿dimension without removing the burner from the appli- ance.
