❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What does “PL” mean on Monarch nozzles?
A: “PL” designates the spray pattern — typically a precisely balanced cone that provides even fuel distribution. The 170060PL is a hollow cone style, ideal for applications requiring fine atomization.
Q: Can I use this nozzle to replace another 17.00 GPH 60° model?
A: Yes, as long as the flow rate (GPH) and spray angle (60°) match, and the burner requires a hollow cone spray pattern.
Q: How often should oil burner nozzles be replaced?
A: Most technicians recommend replacing nozzles once per heating season or during routine maintenance.
Q: Is this nozzle suitable for standard No. 2 heating oil?
A: Yes — it’s specifically designed for light oil fuels like No. 2 heating oil.
