HEATER INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
1) Select a location for your heater observing minimum clearance to combustibles. Consider
that maintenance and cleaning will be required. Allow adequate work space around burner
and stack. Mount heater as low as code allows, easing service and keeping your heat at
floor level. Select a noncombustible area or observe minimum clearances to combustibles.
2)
For best operation minimize distance of horizontal chimney runs. Do not exceed 8' in
length. Horizontal runs must have a minimum 1/4" rise per foot. Clean horizontal runs
every 500 hours of use or as needed. Ash will accumulate here and block draft. Poor
draft causes poor flame, backpressure, oily buildup, unreliable ignition. Use a draft inducer
if draft is marginal or inconsistent. Negative pressure is a must in the flame area.
3) If suspending the heater use (4) 3/8, 1/2, or 5/8 diameter all-thread and tie into the provided
brackets at each end of the cabinet. The mount brackets are designed to attach at the top or
bottom of the heater ends to meet various field mounting needs. Lock nuts and washers
should be used for safety. Never let the weight of the heater rest on the weaker center
portion of cabinet bottom, cabinet will flex. The larger models are more prone to this.
4) WASTE OIL FURNACES ARE DEPENDENT ON PROPER DRAFT FOR EFFICIENT
BURNING. ASSURE THAT ADEQUATE MAKE-UP AIR IS AVAILABLE. NEGATIVE
DRAFT REQUIREMENT: -.04 TO -.06 INCHES OF WATER COLUMN AT FURNACE
OUTLET. BUILDING EXHAUST FANS OR COLD BUILDINGS AT NIGHT CAN
REVERSE YOUR DRAFT AND CAUSE FUMES, POOR COMBUSTION, OR
NUISANCE BURNER LOCKOUTS. TAKE MEASURES TO ASSURE FURNACE
WILL HAVE PROPER DRAFT DIRECTION WHEN OPERATING.
5) If permanent masonry chimney is not available, use appropriate diameter multi-wall
manufactured chimney and collars listed for use with oil fired furnaces per UL 103 or All
Fuel Class A. Locate for easy connection to the furnace and install per manufacturers'
instructions and local building and fire codes. Normal operation will produce a gross
chimney temperature between 500F and 750F.
6) The chimney must extend a minimum 3' above the highest roof line within 10'. In general
you will need a minimum of 2 feet of vertical for each foot of horizontal for best draft.
7) Use a stack that is equal diameter to the furnace outlet. Use minimum 24 gauge single wall
connector pipe between furnace outlet and damper. Do not allow rain to come down the
chimney and have a path into fire chamber. This will create a rusting environment. Install
a chimney tee near the furnace to act as a cleanout / water trap.
8) Locate barometric damper near the furnace and face away from blower. Its opening must be
visible from the floor and out of strong air flows that could falsely affect its ability to
regulate. Read instruction sheet included with damper.
