WARNING
FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD
IMPROPER INSTALLATION, ADJUSTMENT,
ALTERATION, SERVICE OR MAINTENANCE
CAN CAUSE DEATH, SEVERE INJURY
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Proper and sound installation of oil lines must be
completed. Failure to do so may result in
premature failure and/or oil leaks.
Installation of oil burning equipment should be made in
accordance with NFPA Publication No. 31, obtainable
from the National Fire Protection Association. In Canada
the installation must conform to C.S.A. B139, Installation
Code for Oil Burning Equipment.
It must be understood that Combustion Research
Corporation cannot and does not represent that the
following information for oil circuits will satisfy any
particular local code requirements. Such compliance is the
sole responsibility of the installing contractor.
Particular note should be given to the installation of the
storage tank, piping, pump and valve installation to make
sure it complies with the above publications. Installation is
to be preformed by a qualified licensed contractor who is
familiar with liquid fuel burning systems. To insure a
proper and smooth operating installation, deviations from
the recommendations should be avoided. Deviations from
recommended installation can result in nuisance
shutdowns requiring emergency service. The following
precautions should be taken:
•
Do not place storage tank directly below roof
overhangs
•
Place tank in an area with the least direct sunlight
exposure - this will reduce internal sweating in an
unfilled portion of the oil tank.
•
Keep tank filled as much as possible - USE ONLY #2
OIL.
•
It is recommended that when bringing the #2 fuel oil
into the building a minimum 3/4" line should be used.
This line should be a minimum of 20' long and should
be run along the inside wall which will give the oil a
chance to warm up before it is pumped up to the
burner supply system.
•
Use a minimum 1/2" line to ceiling suspended storage
(day) tank.
•
Install an oil filter in the suction side of the booster
pump as well as individual filters at each burner
assembly.
•
Proper fusible link valves and gate valves must be
installed.
