Prepare the Burner, Fuel Line Installation

•Fuel Line Installation

!CAUTION Do Not Use Teﬂon Tape

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

•Never use Teﬂon tape on fuel oil ﬁttings.

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

•Use 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.

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 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.

NOTICE

For protection in the event of ﬁre, some states require the shutoff valves to be a fusible-handle design. R.W. Beck- ett Corporation recommends this design as good industry practice for all installations.

NOTICE

To further protect the fuel supply system and reduce noz- zle oriﬁce plugging with ﬁring rates below 0.75 gph, a dual ﬁltration system can be installed. This typically consists of a 50 micron primary ﬁlter, located near the fuel tank and a secondary ﬁlter rated for at least 10 microns located near the burner.

Also install a generous capacity ﬁlter, rated for 50 microns or less, inside the building between the fuel tank shutoff valve and the burner. Locate both the ﬁlter and the valve close to the burner for ease of servicing.

Inspect/Prepare Installation Site

Prepare the Burner

•General

In most cases, the burner is ready to mount to the appliance. There can be situations where the burn- er needs to be reconﬁgured to perform properly in the appliance. Review the appliance manufactur- er’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

•Mount Burner on Appliance

Verify that the air tube installed on the burner pro- vides the correct insertion depth. Refer to Figure 3.

The end of the air tube should normally be 1/4” back from the inside wall of the combustion chamber. Never allow the leading edge of the retention ring to extend into the chamber, unless otherwise speci- ﬁed by the appliance manufacturer.

Bolt the burner to the appliance using the factory- welded ﬂange.

The integrative SmartStart technology allows for quick ignition, enhancing energy efficiency and reducing fuel consumption. This model also features a robust construction that extends its lifespan and reduces maintenance needs, while its design minimizes carbon emissions, aligning with modern environmental standards.

The AFII 100 is designed for medium-sized applications, providing up to 100,000 BTUs per hour. Like the AFII 150, it incorporates SmartStart technology to enhance ignition performance and efficiency. Additionally, it boasts an advanced air-fuel ratio control system that optimizes combustion, providing better heating efficiency and environmental performance. Ease of installation is a key characteristic of the AFII 100, with components designed for straightforward integration into existing heating systems.

On the other hand, the FII 85 model serves the low-end heating sector effectively, with an output of up to 85,000 BTUs per hour. Its compact design is perfect for residential applications where space can be a constraint. The FII 85 also integrates Beckett’s patented CleanFire technology, which helps to maintain low emissions and reduce the likelihood of soot build-up. This feature not only prolongs the burner’s life but also enhances the air quality in the indoor environment.

Each model in the AFII series comes equipped with a range of diagnostic features that facilitate ease of use and maintenance, ensuring the systems are running efficiently over their lifespan. The reliability of the Beckett AFII series is further augmented by its adherence to industry standards, guaranteeing safety and performance.

In summary, the Beckett AFII 150, AFII 100, and FII 85 models showcase a thoughtful fusion of technology and engineering aimed at delivering superior heating solutions. Their advanced ignition systems, optimized combustion technologies, and robust designs make them ideal candidates for diverse heating needs, confirming Beckett's commitment to quality and sustainability in the oil burner market.
