    Jaybee, Here's how you set it on a Beckett M-Series Tube. I believe this will give you a better understanding of what the Z-Dimension is about.

    Z guage

    there's a Z guage for beckett burners and not the
    steel plate guage the Z guage, it's orange and plastic.
    it fits on the nozzle, it's very simple all you have to do
    is take the nozzle assembly out of the burner and slip
    the Beckett Z guage on the end of the nozzle. then with the Z guage on, put the assembly back in the burner, loosen up the escusion nut 1/4' nut driver or flat head screw driver.
    put the assembly in place through the escusion plate and push the assembly foward until it stops, tighten the escution nut and pull out the assembly and take off the Z gauge and put the asembly back in place and you're all set.

    This would

    apply to an adjustable head like a Carlin and not so much a fixed head, like a Beckett F head.

    If you change air tubes, the scale on a 98,99,100etc, or 201-1150 etc., may not match exactly. You would have to remove the burner and check to see if the "0" [zero] setting does in fact put the retention ring flush with the end of the air tube. If not you will have to adjust accordingly to compensate for the scale being off.

    Some OEM air tubes may be a slightly different length than the standard replacement air tube. This is only a "reference" point for initial start up. Proper combustion testing should be done for final setting. You would set the air per the OEM application guide and move the head back and forth to fine tune for zero smoke and proper CO2
