SECTION IX: OIL PIPING

A. GENERAL

1.Use flexible oil line(s) so the burner swing door can be opened without disconnecting the oil supply piping.

2.A supply line fuel oil filter is recommended as a minimum for all firing rates but a pleated paper fuel oil filter is recommended for the firing rates below 1.0 gph to prevent nozzle fouling.

3.Use Flared fittings only.

NOTICE

Do not use compression fittings.

Oil piping must be absolutely airtight or leaks or loss of prime may result. Bleed line and fuel unit completely.

4.Use of a high efficiency micron filter (Garber or equivalent) in addition to a conventional filter is highly recommended.

B. SINGLE PIPE OIL LINES

1.Standard burners are provided with single-stage 3450 rpm fuel units with the bypass plug removed for single-pipe installations.

2.The single-stage fuel unit may be installed single- pipe with gravity feed or lift. Maximum allowable lift is 8 feet. See Figure 24.
