When the oil tank is located below the level of the burner, it is necessary to “lift” the oil to the burner. A return line should be connected between the fuel pump and tank. This requires insertion of the
Underground tanks should be located outside the building. Installation of above ground tanks is permitted inside buildings, under certain conditions, as well as outside. Consult the Standard for Installation of Oil- Burning Equipment for restrictions. If permitted, connect the burner oil supply line near the base of the tank, opposite of the fill end. Connection at this point tends to flush older oil through and out of the tank. This helps to prevent the accumulation of rainwater and condensed water vapor in the tank, which can cause the tank to corrode.
If the oil supplier does not already use oil additives, it is recommended that additives be used to emulsify any water accumulation in the oil.
J. OIL FILTER:
It is strongly recommended that an oil filter assembly be installed in the oil supply line to the unit. This filter should have the capacity to trap a
The filter cartridge should be replaced at least once a year. The filter body should be thoroughly cleaned before installing a new cartridge.
K. ELECTRICAL WIRIING:
: This appliance must be grounded in accordance with local codes, or in the absence of local codes, with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
All wiring must conform to the provisions of local codes or, in the absence of local codes, with the provisions of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA
This appliance requires 120 VAC, 60 Hz,
Field wiring of power circuits to the appliance should consist of copper conductors rated for at least
15 amp service with an insulation temperature rating of at least 75°C temperature rise. Depending upon code requirements, rigid or flexible conduit is recommended, and may be required. Connect the electric power supply as shown in the wiring diagram located on the inside of the front door.
Typically, control wiring between the appliance and the indoor thermostat, and if used, electronic air cleaner or humidifier, will be required. Field wiring of control circuits should consist of copper conductors rated for at least 15 amp service with an insulation temperature rating conforming to Type T wire, 35°C temperature rise. Depending upon code requirements, rigid or flexible conduit is recommended, and may be required. Make connections between the thermostat, and electronic air cleaner or humidifier (if used), and the fan control module, inside the vestibule. Consult the wiring diagram for the appropriate connection points on the thermostat and the fan control module.
