Fuel Piping

General Oil Piping Guidelines

Location and installation of oil tanks, oil piping and burners must comply with:

-NFPA 31, Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment

-Local codes and regulations

-Manufacturer’s information provided with the burner and oil pump.

For installations in Canada, CSA B139, Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment

If the fuel tank is installed or any part of the fuel tank is above the level of the burner, an anti-siphon device must be installed to prevent

the spillage of oil in the event of an oil line break.

Support oil line as required by local codes.

All tank connections should be made using swing joints or copper tubing to prevent possi- ble line breakage in the event of tank settle- ment. When using swing joints ensure they are made to tighten as the tank settles. All thread connections should be made with a non-hard- ening pipe joint compound.

WARNING

Do not use Teflon tape to seal any oil con- nections. Teflon tape can cause oil valves to fail, creating potential hazards. Do not use compression type fittings at the burner all fittings should be flare type.
