Air Supply For Combustion:
•
Do not install boiler in rooms with insufficient air, unless
corrective steps are taken.
• It may be necessary to install windows or cut holes in
a door to rooms used for supply air to obtain sufficient
combustion air and prevent less than atmospheric air
pressure in that room.
•
If there is a lack of combustion air, burner flame will be
dark orange and formation of soot will occur in heating
unit.
• In buildings of conventional frame, brick, or stone con-
struction that do not have utility rooms, basement win-
dows, or stair doors, air infiltration is normally adequate
to provide enough air for combustion and for operation
of barometric draft control.
• Room used for supplying combustion air should be iso-
lated from any area served by exhaust fans.
• Refer back to the section on Fresh Air For Combustion
for additional sizing guidelines.
Draft Regulators:
Barometric draft regulator is required
for controlling draft through boiler. Mount barometric draft
regulator in chimney connector. Refer back to section on
“Chimney And Chimney Connections”. Once draft regulator
is installed, use draft gauge to adjust to proper opening:
A.
Combustion chamber over fire draft will be approxi
-
mately -0.01” WC to -0.02” WC.
B.
Stack draft will be approximately -0.02” WC. to
-0.04” WC.
C. Larger installation, greater draft will be required in
stack to obtain desired over fire draft.
Start:
Fill entire system with water. Vent all air from sys-
tem following section for Filling The Boiler.
Fuel Units And Oil Lines
:
• Install oil line(s) to oil burner.
• Recommend using heavy wall copper tubing and
flared fittings, not compression fittings.
• All connections and joints must be absolutely airtight.
Use an appropriate non-hardening thread sealing
compound on the threaded connections, not Teflon
tape.
• See fuel unit data sheet furnished with the burner for
sizing, lift, and length of tubing recommendations.
Oil burner is equipped with single stage fuel unit with by-
pass plug removed for single pipe installation. Satisfactory
where fuel supply is on same level as or above burner per-
mitting gravity flow of oil. Per NFPA 31 requirements, never
exceed 3 psig pressure to inlet side of fuel unit.
When necessary to lift oil to burner, two pipe installation is
required. Run return line between fuel unit and oil supply.
When two pipe installation is used, bypass plug (furnished
with burner) must be installed in fuel unit. Refer to fuel unit
instructions furnished with burner for specific instructions
on installing bypass plug. Do not exceed fuel unit manufac
-
turer’s recommendations for running vacuum.
NOTICE
If lift exceeds 14 feet for Beckett or Carlin burners
or 11 feet for Riello burners, two stage fuel unit is
required with return line.
Install oil filter of adequate size inside building between
tank shutoff valve and oil burner. For ease of servicing,
locate shutoff valve and filter near oil burner.
