Attach air tube (if not already installed)
If using a ange and gasket, slide them onto the air
tube. Then attach the air tube to the burner chassis
using the four sheet metal screws provided. Refer
to Figure 3 for details.
Install burner nozzle (if not already in-
stalled)
Remove the plastic plug protecting the nozzle
adapter threads
Place a ¾” open-end wrench on the nozzle adapter.
Insert the nozzle into the adapter and nger tighten.
Finish tightening with a ” open-end wrench. Use
care to avoid bending the burner head support legs
or electrodes. If you remove the head to replace
the nozzle (type “L1”/“L2” or “V1” heads), carefully
reconnect the head to the nozzle adapter, making
sure that the head support makes contact with the
nozzle adapter shoulder. Refer to Figure 4 or 5.

If the nozzle is already installed, remove the noz-
zle line assembly to verify that the nozzle size and
spray pattern are correct for the application (per ap-
pliance manufacturer’s information). Verify that the
electrode tip settings comply with Figure 2.
If the nozzle is not installed, obtain a nozzle from
the manufacturer, having the capacity and spray
angle speci ed in the appliance manufacturer’s in-
formation. For conversions or upgrades, when in-
formation is not available for the application:
Refer to Table 6 to select the mid-range nozzle
spray angle for the head type being used.
Fire the burner and make sure the combustion
is acceptable and the ame is not impinging on
chamber surfaces.
If a shorter ame is needed, select a wider spray
angle. If a longer ame is needed, select a nar-
rower spray angle.
Either hollow or solid spray patterns may be used.
If combustion results are not satisfactory with the
selected spray pattern, try the other pattern.
Check/adjust electrodes
Check the electrode tip settings. Adjust if neces-
sary to comply with the dimensions shown in Fig-
ure 2. To adjust, loosen the electrode clamp screw
and slide/rotate electrodes as necessary. Securely
tighten the clamp screw when nished.
