INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
illustrations that come with the burner. If the water
heater is installed using a float valve between the oil
supply tank and the burner, and the supply tank is
over nine (9)-gallon capacity, a valve operated by a
fusible link shall be installed in the fuel line adjacent
to and upstream from the float valve.
Oil Burner Installation
The installation of the oil burner must be per-
formed by a qualified Oil Burner Technician.
Before installing the oil burner, check the align-
ment between the burner and the combustion
chamber. It is possible for the combustion cham-
ber to shift if it is subjected to rough handling dur-
ing transit. The end cone of the air tube must be
centered to the accommodating passage provided
in the design of the combustion chamber. Adjust
as necessary. Failure to follow these instructions
can result in property damage, personal injury or
death.
The installation of the oil burner must be in accor-
dance with all local codes or, in the absence of such
codes, the latest edition of the CAN/CSA B139,
Installation for Oil Burning Equipment, in Canada,
and/or the latest edition of the standard for Installation
of Oil Burning Equipment, NFPA 31 in the United
States.
Oil Filter
All fuel systems should include an oil filter between
the fuel oil storage tank and the oil burner. When
using an oil burner nozzle smaller than 0.75, install
an additional 10 micron or better filter as close as
possible to the oil burner.
Oil Burner Nozzles
The OG32 water heater is certified for multiple firing
rates, ranging from 82,000 to 103,000 BTU/h. The
OG50 models are certified for multiple firing rates,
ranging from 97,000 to input 117,000 BTU/h. Refer
to the water heater rating plate or
Table 1
to deter-
mine the proper burner settings.
Wiring
This water heater uses an external electrical
source for power. It must be electrically grounded
in accordance with all local codes or, in the
absence of such codes, the latest edition of the
CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code, in Canada,
and/or the latest edition of the National Electrical
Code, NFPA 70, in the United States. Failure to
properly ground this water heater can result in
property damage, personal injury or death.
This water heater is factory wired and requires mini-
mal field wiring. The water heater should be wired to
a separate and dedicated circuit in the main electri-
cal panel. Although a suitably located circuit breaker
can be used as a service switch, a separate service
switch is advisable. The service switch is necessary
if reaching the circuit breaker involves becoming
close to the water heater or if the water heater is
located between the circuit breaker and the means
of entry to the furnace room. The water heater switch
(service switch) should be clearly marked, installed
in an easily accessible area between the water
heater and furnace room entry, and be located in such
a manner to reduce the likelihood that it would be mis-
taken as a light switch or similar device (
see Figure 10
).
The power requirement is 120VAC, 60Hz.
Before lighting your water heater, check that all
of the wires have been installed correctly
(see
Figure 11)
. Make sure that none of the wires are
grounded, have split, or are broken. Verify that all
wiring connections are properly secured, as there is
a possibility that they have become loose during
