General oil piping requirements
•
Location and installation of oil tanks, oil piping
and burners must follow:
•
NFPA 31, Standard for the Installation of Oil-
Burning Equipment.
•
In Canada, CSA B139, Installation of Oil-
Burning Equipment.
•
Local codes and regulations.
•
Information provided with burner and
fuel pump.
•
If any part of fuel oil tank is above level of burner,
installation of an anti-siphon device is highly
recommended to prevent flow of oil in case of oil
line break.
•
Support oil lines as required by codes.
•
Make tank connections with swing joints or
copper tubing to prevent breaking in case
the tank settles. Make swing joints so they
will tighten as tank settles. Non-hardening
pipe joint compounds should be used on
all threads.
Do not use Teflon tape as an oil pipe
sealant. It can cause valves to fail, creating
hazards. Do not use compression fittings,
only flare fittings.
•
Underground pipe must be run in a casing to pre-
vent oil leaking into ground or under floor. Check
local codes for information.
Oil piping connection at burner
•
See Figure 22 for recommended connection at
burner, allowing burner mounting door to swing
open completely for servicing.
