Fulton Boiler FBS Series
FBS 01/05 10
WARNING
It is essential that the installation of the gas pipework must be undertaken only by suitably
qualified and experienced personnel and in compliance with appropriate Codes and
Standards. Fulton Companies can accept no responsibility for consequential loss, damage or
personal injury which results from a failure to follow the manual.
Oil Supply
The oil supply pipework to the boiler must be appropriate to local conditions and must be constructed
and installed in compliance with appropriate Codes and Standards. It should be of sufficient size to
satisfy the pressure and volume flow requirements of the burner under all firing conditions. Checks
should be made to ensure that all meters and other components are appropriately rated for the
maximum oil flow rate anticipated. Galvanized steel pipe should not be used. The supply pipework
should include an appropriate filter.
A) A two-pipe system must be used between oil storage tank and the burner. One for oil supply and
one for oil return. A circulating oil pump is required to deliver fuel oil from the storage tank to the
burner. A oil filter must be installed before the oil circulating pump, recommend less than 60
Mesh.
B) The final connection to the oil pump inlet should be made using the flexible pipes supplied with
the burner.
C) One gate valve should installed to the inlet and outlet of the circulating pump separately. A
pressure gauge (0-60psi) is needed also to the outlet.
D)
It is important to ensure that the return pipe is not obstructed as this may result in damage to the
pump.
E)
In the case of heavy oil (No.4, No.5, and No.6 oil) the pipework and oil storage tank should be
insulated trace heated and thermostatically controlled.
Refer to the details in the BURNER section
Installation Check Points
A) Make sure that all piping connections are complete and tight.
B) Make sure the pressure controls are adjusted properly.
C) Make sure all electrical connections in the control box, the water column, and elsewhere are
secure.
D) Make sure the door in the boiler room is closed. Combustion air contaminates can cause damage
to the boiler jacket and stack.
Before operating pumps, metering heads and compressors, make certain that reservoirs are properly
filled with the specific lubricant. Open all necessary oil shut-off valves. Do not run compressors,
pumps, or metering units without oil.
Before connecting electrical current to any component, be sure the supply voltage is the same as that
specified on the component nameplates.
Make certain that the operator in charge is properly instructed in the operation and maintenance
procedures.
NOTE
The pressure vessel must be cleaned before running the boiler after installation
