Instruction Manual – Model CF500/CF800 Oil Burner

Connect fuel line(s)

Install the oil lines using the following guidelines. Failure to comply could lead to equipment damage and present a risk of severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage due to leakage of oil and potential fire hazard.

Use only flare fittings at joints and connections. Never use compression fittings.

Install fittings only in accessible locations to assure any leak will be detected.

Where joint sealing is needed, use only pipe dope. Never use Teflon tape. Tape strands can break free and damage the fuel unit.

Never use a one-pipe oil system with a lift in excess of 8 feet with B fuel unit. On two-pipe oil systems, verify that the suction line vacuum does not exceed the fuel unit manufacturer’s recommendation.

The fuel unit is shipped without the by-pass plug installed for CF500/CF800 ON/OFF burners. You must install this plug on two- pipe systems. DO NOT install the by-pass plug in the fuel unit if connected to a one-pipe oil system. Failure to comply could cause fuel unit seal failure, oil leakage and potential fire and injury hazard.

Fuel unit by-pass plug

The CF500/CF800 burner is shipped without the by-pass plug installed in the fuel unit.

The by-pass plug must not be installed in the fuel unit for one-pipe oil systems.

You must install the by-pass plug if using on a two-pipe oil system.

Oil supply/return lines

Install the oil tank and oil lines in accordance with all applicable codes.

Size the oil supply and return lines using the guidelines given in the fuel unit literature included in the literature envelope. Oil line flow rate will equal the burner rate for one-pipe systems. For two-pipe systems, refer to Table 3 for the fuel unit gearset capacity - the rate at which fuel is recirculated when connected to a two-pipe system. Size two-pipe oil lines based on this flow rate.

Use continuous lengths of heavy-wall copper tubing, routed under the floor where possible. Do not attach fuel lines to the appliance or to floor joists if possible. This will reduce vibration and noise transmission problems.

Install an oil filter sized to handle the fuel unit gearset flow capacity (Table 3) for two-pipe systems. Size the filter for the firing rate for one-pipe systems. Locate the filter imme- diately adjacent to the burner fuel unit.

Install two high-quality shut-off valves in accessible loca- tions on the oil supply line. Locate one valve close to the tank. Locate the other valve close to the burner, upstream of the fuel filter.
