downward with a 1/4” mesh screen over its opening.

 

The air inlet elbow must be located above the snow

 

line and in such a way as to prevent leaves and/or

 

other debris from blocking the air flow. Such debris

 

will prevent proper operation of the burner. Refer to

 

local codes for proper location of inlet.

 

Installing the Oil Tank and Supply System

 

Oil Leak and Fire Hazard

 

Install the oil tank following applicable standards

 

in the U.S. by referring to the latest edition of NFPA

 

31 or CSA-B139 & CSA-B140 in Canada, and all

 

authorities having jurisdiction.

 

Do Not Use Teflon Tape

 

Damage to the pump could cause impaired burner

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 preventing proper operation.

yUse oil-resistant pipe sealant compounds.

For fuel line installation, continuous lengths of heavy wall copper tubing are recommended. Always use flare fittings. Never use compression fittings.

Note: to determine the proper fuel line size, refer to the fuel pump manufacturer’s instructions provided with the burner. Refer to Figure 4 or Figure 5 for typical installation layouts.

Always install fittings in accessible locations. To avoid vibration noise, fuel lines should not run against the appliance or ceiling joists.

Fuel Line Valves and Filter

Install two high quality, oil duty rated, fusible handle design shutoff valves in accessible locations on the oil supply line. Locate one close to the tank and the other close to the burner, upstream of the filter for service access.

Prepare the Burner

General

In most cases, the burner is ready to mount to the appliance. There can be situations where the burner needs to be reconfigured to perform properly in the appliance. Review the appliance manufacturer’s specifications prior to installing to determine if any modification is required to properly configure the burner. Instruction on how to perform the following burner preparation tasks can be found in the Professional Maintenance section.

Remove / install burner nozzle

Check head/air adjusting plate
