The NordicStove Fuel Nozzle with De-coking Rod, part number 50032, is a replacement burner nozzle assembly for NordicStove oil-fired room heaters, combining the fuel nozzle tube with the integrated de-coking rod used to maintain the nozzle passage clear of carbon deposits during routine maintenance.
The fuel nozzle tube receives heating oil from the Toby DVR5 oil controller and delivers it into the vaporizing burner cavity at the base of the burner assembly, where the fuel vaporizes and combusts with combustion air drawn through the chimney draft. Proper nozzle condition is essential to stable, efficient flame output across the full operating range of the burner.
In vaporizing burner oil stoves, carbon and soot accumulate inside the fuel nozzle tube over time as a natural byproduct of combustion. This accumulation progressively restricts the nozzle passage, degrading fuel delivery consistency and flame quality. The de-coking rod integrated with this assembly is a maintenance tool that is rotated and slid back and forth through the nozzle tube to mechanically break up and clear carbon deposits without requiring removal of the nozzle for cleaning.
The de-coking rod retaining nut secures the rod in position at the base of the oil controller and should be checked periodically for tightness and signs of leakage. When carbon accumulation is severe enough that the de-coking rod cannot restore adequate flow, replacement of the nozzle assembly with a new unit is the appropriate corrective action to restore full burner performance.
What's Included: One NordicStove fuel nozzle tube with integrated de-coking rod, part number 50032, for installation in compatible NordicStove oil-fired room heater burner assemblies.
Installation Limits: The fuel nozzle assembly must be installed with the de-coking rod retaining nut securely tightened and inspected for leakage after installation. The stove must be fully off and cooled before any nozzle service or replacement is performed. The de-coking rod should be operated periodically during the heating season as a routine maintenance step to prevent carbon buildup from reaching a level that degrades burner performance.
Compatibility: Compatible with NordicStove oil-fired room heaters across the model range that utilize the standard NordicStove vaporizing burner assembly and de-coking rod system.
