Figure 4 – Check/Adjust 'Z' Dimension for 'F' Heads
Z
DIM.
Adjust the 'Z' dimension to
the required specification.
Incorrect Adjustments could cause combustion
problems, carbon deposition from flame
impingement, heavy smoke generation and fire
hazard.
Make all adjustments exactly as outlined in the
y
following information.
1. 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 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
○ See above figure. 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 T501 or T650 gauge may also be used.

Section: MOUNT BURNER ON APPLIANCE
○ Slide the nozzle line forward or back until the
Z dimension for F heads is 1-1/8" (1-1/8" plus
shroud length, if using a straight edge).
○ 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 assembly. The Beckett Z gauge (part number
Z-2000) is available to permit checking the F head
"Z" dimension without removing the burner from the
appliance.
