Fuel supply below the level of the burner –

When the fuel supply is more than eight feet below the level of the burner, a two-pipe fuel supply sys- tem is required. Depending on the fuel line diam- eter and horizontal and vertical length, the instal- lation may also require a two-stage pump. Consult the fuel unit manufacturer’s literature for lift and vacuum capability.

Fuel line installation –

yContinuous lengths of heavy wall copper tubing are recommended. Always use flare fittings.

Never use compression fittings.

yAlways install fittings in accessible locations. Proper routing of fuel lines is required to prevent air cavitation and vibration.

!CAUTION Do Not Use Teflon Tape

Damage to the pump could cause impaired burn- er operation, oil leakage and appliance soot-up.

yNever use Teflon tape on fuel oil fittings.

yTape fragments can lodge in fuel line components and fuel unit, damaging the equipment and pre- venting proper operation.

yUse oil-resistant pipe sealant compounds.

Fuel line valve and filter –

yInstall two high quality fusible-handle design shut- off valves in accessible locations on the oil supply line to comply with the NFPA 31 Standard. Locate one close to the tank and the other close to the burner, upstream of the filter.

yInstall a generous capacity filter inside the build- ing between the fuel tank shutoff valve and the burner, locating both the filter and the valve close to the burner for ease of servicing. Filter should be rated for 50 microns or less.

!WARNING Electrical Shock Hazard

Electrical shock can cause severe personal injury or death.

yDisconnect electrical power before installing or servicing the burner.

yProvide ground wiring to the burner, metal control enclosures and accessories. (This may also be required to aid proper control system operation.)

yPerform all wiring in compliance with the Nation- al Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70 (Canada CSA C22.1)

yRefer to appliance manufacturer’s wiring diagram for electrical connections.

yRefer to Figure 7, for typical burner wiring, show- ing cad cell primary controls. Burner wiring may vary, depending on primary control actually used.

The R7184 primary control with valve-on delay (prepurge) and burner motor-off delay (postpurge), requires a constant 120 volts AC power source sup- plied to the BLACK wire on the control. The RED wire goes to the appliance limit circuit. Please note that other control manufacturers may use different wire colors for power and limit connections.

Special wiring required with covered burners

The mounting plate is not a conduit connec- tion point. Pass conduit and attached connector through the opening in the mounting plate and at- tach it directly to the burner-mounted 4x4 electrical box.

If attaching a burner cover to a previously installed burner, attach the mounting plate and then slide the conduit into the “J” shaped conduit slot.
