Instruction Manual – Model CF2500/CF3500 Oil Burner

Verify firing rate

Figure 2 – Air tube mounting dimensions

Refer to appliance manufacturer’s instructions (if avail- able) for firing rate and nozzle selection. Otherwise, the maximum recommended firing rate for the burner depends on the length of the firing chamber and the distance from the burner center to the chamber floor. Verify that the cham- ber dimensions are at least as large as the minimum values given in Figure 1. If the appliance dimensions are smaller than recommended, reduce the firing rate accordingly.

The information in this section may be disregarded if the air tube is supplied by the appliance manufacturer.

The following tube arrangements are available:

Model CF2500A: Tube KP — 17.0 to 19.9 GPH

Model CF2500: Tube KP — 17.0 to 25.0 GPH

Model CF3500A: Tube KM — 17.0 to 35.0 GPH or Tube KR — 17.0 to 35.0 GPH

Maximum firing capacity depends on the firebox pressure. Use Table 2 to verify the correct air tube type for the firing rate required. (Tube KR [CF3500A] is an optional air tube combination for maximum capacity rate. It requires a larger I.D. flange No. 51631.)

See Figure 2 to verify the correct air tube length and air tube combination code.
