This burner is shipped with the oil pump
set to operate on a single line system.
To operate on a two-line system, the
bypass plug must be installed.
The burner is shipped configured for use
in single line applications. No changes
to the oil pump are required for use in
single line applications.
General oil piping requirements
Location and installation of oil tanks, oil
piping and burners must follow:
- Local codes and regulations.
- Information provided with burner and
fuel pump.
- In Canada, CSA B139, Installation of
Oil-Burning Equipment.
- In USA, NFPA 31, Standard for the
Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment.
Underground oil line piping must be
encased to prevent oil leaking into
ground. Check local codes for
information.
If any part of fuel oil tank is above
burner level, an anti-siphon device must
be used to prevent flow of oil in case of
oil line break.
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.
Support oil lines as required by codes.
Oil piping connection at burner
See illustration above for recommended

mounting door to swing open

creating hazards. Do not use

a pressure-limiting device in
accordance with the above mentioned
codes.
