Recommended oil piping connection to burner (follow applicable code requirements and
burner manual for component locations)
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,
an anti-siphon device must be used to prevent fl ow
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 Tefl on tape as an oil pipe seal-
ant. It can cause valves to fail, creating
hazards. Do not use compression fi ttings.
•
Underground pipe must be run in a casing to pre-
vent oil leaking into ground or under fl oor. Check
local codes for information.
Oil piping connection at burner:
• See Figure 16 for recommended connection at
burner, allowing burner mounting door to swing
open completely for servicing.
