OIL STORAGE -
See fig.1
The minimum recommended oil tank size is 1400 litres (300 gallons) and the Codes of Practice governing its
installation are covered by BS.5410.
The requirements for mild steel tanks should be to BS.799 Part 5. Plastic Oil Tanks to OFTEC Standard OFS
T100. The oil storage tank must be positioned with the bottom of the tank not less than 630mm, and the top not
more than 3.2m above the base of the cooker.
Oil Pipe Line
The oil line from the storage tank to the appliance must be fitted with a remote acting fire valve (such as a
Teddington KBB-66°C) located outside the building, or where the supply enters the wall on the inside of the
building and with the heat sensing phial of the fire valve, located as near as practicable on the L.H. side of the
cooker.
A 5-10 micron oil filter should also be fitted in the oil line, and the minimum size of the copper oil pipe line should
not be less than 10mm diameter.
A stop valve must be fitted near the appliance, in an accessible position.
We also recommend an additional remote acting fire valve be fitted close to the oil control valve, with its heat
sensing phial located in the burner housing, but not touching, the inner burner door.
