IX. OIL LINE

GENERAL

The furnace rating plate includes the approved furnace input rating and fuel types. The furnace must be equipped to operate on the type of oil applied.

CAUTION I

TO PREVENT UNRELIABLE

OPERATION OR EQUIPMENT

DAMAGE, THE OIL LINE PRESSURE

MUST BE SET AT 140 P.S.I.

OIL TANK

Oil storage tanks must be selected and installed in compliance with applicable codes; in the United States, NFPA 31,

Standard for the Installation of Oil Burning Equipment. Chapter 2, and in Canada, CANlCSA­ B139, Installation Code for Oil Burning Equipment. Section 6. Observe all local codes and by-lays. In general, the oil tank must be properly supported and remain stable in both empty and full conditions. The oil tank must be fitted with vent and supply pipes to the outdoors. Refer to the above-mentioned codes for siZing. The vent pipe must be no less than 1 ~ inches I.P.S., and terminate with an appropriate vent cap in a location where it will not be blocked.

The fill pipe must be no less than 2 inches I.P.S., and terminate with an appropriate cap in a location where debris will not enter the fill pipe during oil delivery.

If located indoors, the tank should normally be in the lowest level, (cellar, basement, etc.). it must be equipped with a shut-off valve at the tank outlet used for the oil supply. The oil tank must be located as to not block the furnace/room exit pathway. Observe all clearances specified in the above-mentioned codes.

PIPING INSTALLATION

In the United States, NFPA 31, Standard for the Installation of Oil Burning EqUipment. Chapter 2.

In Canada, the entire fuel system should be installed in accordance with the reqUirements of CAN/CSA B139, and local regulations. Use only approved fuel oil tanks, piping, fittings, and oil filters.

Ensure that all fittings used in a copper oil line system are high quality flare fittings. Do not use compression fittings. Do not use Teflon tape on any fittings.

Pressurized or gravity feed installations must not exceed 3 PSIG. Pressures greater than 10 PSIG may cause damage to the shaft seal. If the height of the oil stored in a tank above the oil burner exceeds

11% feet, it may be necessary to use a pressure­ regulating device approved for this purpose.
