First time that I'm changing out the nozzle on my, fuel oil furnace.
About to put new nozzle in and I notice that you can hear a rattle (like a bearing ball) in the nozzle adaptor, that the nozzle screws into, when you tilt the fuel line assembly.
Is this normal? Is there a ball in there that acts like a anti-siphon or something? (I didn't give it the Monica test)
If so, another problem is sometimes when I tilt it, I don't hear the rattle, almost like it's stuck, until I give it a tap and then it I can hear it again. Until it gets stuck again. When stuck, it seems I can still blow through it.
I found this picture which is almost identical to my assembly. I asking about the brass adaptor fitting on the left end that the (unshown) nozzle would screw into.
Thanks
