The following chart shows the allowable line lengths (horizontal & vertical) for single and two stage oil pumps. All distances are in feet.
In retrofit applications, where an existing oil line system is in place, a vacuum check will help determine the integrity of the eXisting oil line system. The vacuum in a system should not exceed 6" Hg. For a single pipe system, not 12" Hg. For a
To eliminate air leakage, fuel line should be a continuous length from tank to burner and flare fittings must be used on all connections. On threaded connections, use pipe dope that is resistant to fuel oil (Rector seal #5, Permatex or eqUivalent). Do not use PTFE joint tape.

X. CIRCULATING AIR & FILTERS
Ductwork· Air Flow
Duct systems and register sizes must be properly designed for the CFM and external static pressure rating of the furnace. Design the ductwork in accordance with the recommended methods of "Air conditioning Contractors of America" Manual D. Install the duct system in accordance with Standards of the National Board of Fire Underwriters for the installation of Air Conditioning, Warm Air Heating and Ventilating Systems. Pamphlets No. 90A and 90B.
A closed return duct system must be used, with the return duct connected to the furnace.
NOTE: Ductwork must never be attached to the back of the furnace.
Flexible joints may be used for supply and return connections to reduce noise transmission. To prevent the blower from interfering with combustion air or draft when a central return is used, a connecting duct must be installed between the unit and the utility room wall. Never use a room, closet, or alcove as a return air chamber.
No furnace will operate or heat properly if the duct work it is attached to is not sized or installed correctly. Warm air runs should have dampers installed so that they can be balanced room to room. Dampers should be adjusted to provide a minimum of 0.20 and a maximum of 0.50 inches water column external static pressure in the warm air plenum.
Keep in mind that 95% of all burner and pump problems are caused by three factors:
Air leak in the fuel line, Improperly sized fuel lines and dirty fuel.
