Appliance Hearth
This appliance must be installed on a solid level floor or
base of incombustible material which is capable of
supporting the total weight.
The location chosen for the appliance must permit
installation and the provision of a satisfactory flue and
an adequate air supply. The location must also provide
adequate space for servicing and air circulation around
the appliance. See

.
The minimum recommended oil tank size is 1400 litres
(300 gallons) and the Codes of Practice governing its
installation are covered by BS. 5410.
The requirements for mild steel tanks should be to BS.
799, Part 5. Plastic Oil Tanks to, OFTEC Standard
T100.
The oil storage tank must be positioned with the bottom
of the tank not less than 630mm, and the top not more
than 3.2m above the base of the cooker.
Oil Pipe Line
The oil line from the storage tank to the appliance
should be fitted with a remote acting fire valve (such as
Teddington KBB-66ºC) located outside the building, or
where the supply enters the wall on the inside of the
building and with the heat sensing phial of the fire valve,
located as near as practicable on the L.H. side of the
cooker.
A 5-10 micron oil filter should also be fitted in the oil
line, and the minimum size of the copper oil pipe should
not be less than 10mm diameter.
A stop valve must be fitted near the appliance, in an
accessible position.
We also recommend an additional remote acting fire
valve be fitted close to the oil control valve, with its heat
sensing phial located in the burner housing, but not
touching, the inner burner door.
Detailed recommendations for fluing are given in the
current Building Regulations J1/4/5.
