   L1/L2 heads (see Table 7 and Figure 3 for dimensions) 

1. See 

fi gure above. The important “Z” dimension is the distance from 

the leading edge of the head to the end of the air tube. This distance 
for L1 & L2 heads is 1-⅜” if the tube has a straight shroud or 1-¾” if 
the air tube has a conic shroud. The “Z” dimension is factory set for 

1.  After setting “Z” dimension, loosen head adjusting plate hex head 

screw and nozzle line splined nut. Move the nozzle line assembly until 
the burner reference indicator lines up with the head adjusting plate 
setting number given in Table shown below. 

 2.  Tighten the hex head screw and splined nut. (DO NOT loosen the 

acorn nut when setting head position.) Refer to the manufacturer’s in-
structions for OEM settings. 

3.  The position of the head affects air fl ow volume and pattern. For most 

applications, the burner will perform satisfactorily with the air adjust-
ment plate setting of Table shown below. 

4.  If combustion results indicate the need for change, adjust the head po-

sition adjusting plate forward or back one position at a time to optimize 
combustion.

 

  V1 heads (see Table below and Figure above for dimensions) 

1. See 

fi gure above. The important “Z” dimension is the distance from 

the leading edge of the head to the end of the air tube. This distance 
for V1 heads is 1-¾”. The “Z” dimension is factory set for burners 
shipped with the air tube installed. Even if factory set, verify that the 
“Z” dimension has not been changed. 

burners shipped with the air tube installed. 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. 
Refer to fi gure. 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 leading edge of the head and, us-
ing a straight edge across the end of the air tube, measure the 
distance to the end of the tube. A Beckett T501 gauge may also 
be used. 
Slide the nozzle line forward or back until this dimension is 1-⅜” 
for L1 & L2 heads if the tube has a straight shroud, or 1-¾” if the 
air tube has a conic shroud. 
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 escutcheon plate has not been moved. You will need to reset 
the “Z” dimension if you replace the air tube or nozzle line assem-
bly.

lines up with the reference indicator on the housing, and retighten 
the hex head screw. Place the end of a ruler at the leading edge of
