Burner Manual

Fuel Supply

A. Connect Fuel Lines

For oil supply system speci

fi

 cations for tanks not mounted 

on machines, carefully follow the pump manufacturer’s 
literature and the latest edition of the National Fire 
Protection Association (NFPA) 31 standard.  

The burner may be equipped with a single stage pump. If 
a one-pipe system is installed, insure that a bypass plug 
is not installed in the pump, then connect the fuel supply 
to the burner with a single supply line Note that manual 
bleeding of the pump is required on initial start-up or when 
the equipment runs out of fuel. When connecting a two-
pipe fuel system, install the pump by-pass plug.

C. Fuel Supply Below Level of Burner

When the fuel supply is more than eight feet below the level 
of the burner, a two-pipe fuel supply system is required. 
Depending on the fuel line diameter and the horizontal 
and vertical length, the installation may also require a 
two-stage pump. Consult the fuel unit manufacturer’s 
literature for lift and vacuum capability. 

D. Fuel Line Replacement (Remote Tank Only)

When replacing fuel lines, continuous lengths of heavy 
wall copper tubing is recommended. To ensure a tight 
seal, always use 

fl

 are 

fi

 ttings. Never use compression 

fi

 ttings. Always install 

fi

 ttings in an accessible location. To 

avoid vibration noise,  fuel lines should not run against the 
appliance or the ceiling joists.

E.  Fuel Line Valve and Filter

Shutoff valves should be located in the oil supply line. Do 
not install valves in the return line.

Burner Wiring

B. Fuel Supply Level with or Above Burner

Pumps with automatic bypass do 
not require a bypass plug. Verify by 

referring to the pump manufacturer’s instructions.

A. Burner installed on equipment

Refer to appliance manufacturer’s wiring diagram for 
electrical connections. 

B. Burner Replacement

Burner wiring may vary, depending on the actual
primary control and furnished options. Refer to Figure 
6 for typical burner wiring, showing cad cell primary 
controls. Note that the relay and control, shown in the 
wiring diagram are optional features.

Section: Fuel Supply & Burner Wiring

Do Not Install Bypass Plug 
with 1-Pipe System

Failure to comply could cause Immediate pump seal 

failure, pressurized oil leakage and the potential for a 

fi

 re and injury hazard. 

 

y

The burner is shipped without the by-pass plug 
installed.

 

y

Install the bypass plug in two-pipe oil supply systems 
ONLY. 

Oil Supply Pressure 
Control Required

Damage to the 

fi

 lter or pump seals could cause oil 

leakage and a 

fi

 re hazard.

 

y

The oil supply inlet pressure to the burner 

cannot 

exceed 3 psig

.  

 

y

Insure that a pressure limiting device is installed in 

accordance with the latest edition of NFPA 31. 

 

y

Do NOT install valves in the return line.

 (NFPA 31, 

Chapter 8.)

 

y

Gravity Feed Systems:

 Always install an anti-siphon 

valve in the oil supply line or a solenoid valve (RWB 
Part # 21441U) in the pump/nozzle discharge tubing 
to provide backup oil 

fl

 ow cut-off protection. 

Do Not Use Te

fl

 on Tape

Damage to the pump could cause impaired burner 

operation, oil leakage and appliance soot-up.

 

y

Never use Te

fl

 on tape on fuel oil 

fi

 ttings. 

 

y

Tape fragments can lodge in fuel line components 

and fuel unit, damaging the equipment and preventing 

proper operation.

 

y

Use oil-resistant pipe sealant compounds.

Electrical Shock Hazard

Electrical shock can cause severe personal injury or 

death.

 

y

Disconnect electrical power before installing or 

servicing the burner.

 

y

Provide ground wiring to the burner, metal control 

enclosures and accessories. (This may also be 

required to aid proper control system operation.)
