3.0 FURNACE INSTALLATION
The installation of the appliance shall be in accordance with the regulations of the authorities having
jurisdiction.
OIL TANK PIPING
Tank installation must conform to local requirements.
Install according to the applicable code such as CAN/CSA B139 and NFPA 31 in the USA.
Minimize number of connections in suction line and make all connections air tight. Use a pipe
joint compound suitable for oil on all pipe threads. To reduce possibility of air leaks, tighten
stem packing gland nut on any valves installed in the suction line. Also, be sure the oil filter is tight,
as filter gaskets often shrink. Check for kinks in the oil lines as well as for possible air pockets and
for loose connections. Two filters as shown below are recommended. Optional tank gauge
protectors and outlet protectors are available at your local dealer.
ONE PIPE SYSTEM
Where the tank outlet is above the burner and when the oil flows by
gravity to the oil pump, a single-stage fuel unit with a single oil line to
the pump may be used.
TWO PIPE SYSTEM
When a single line is not suitable, use two-line system. Install by-pass
plug on burner fuel pump as specified in the burner manual.
