OIL TANKS AND PIPING
CAUTION
The instructions in this section are general guidelines. The instructions
for the specific pump installed on the burner that you have purchased
should take precedence over the instructions given below. Read all of
the instructions provided with the burner before continuing with the
installation.
WARNING
To prevent an oil leak and/or fire hazard, install the oil tank following
applicable standards in the U.S. by referring to the latest edition of
NFPA 31 or CSA-B139 & CSA-B140 in Canada, and all authorities
having jurisdiction.
CAUTION
DO NOT use thread sealing tape. Damage to the pump could cause
impaired burner operation, oil leakage and appliance soot-up. Never
use thread sealing tape on fuel oil fittings. Tape fragments can lodge in
fuel line components and fuel unit, damaging the equipment and
preventing proper operation. Use oil-resistant pipe sealant compounds.
IMPORTANT
To determine the proper fuel line size, refer to the fuel pump
manufacturer’s instructions provided with the burner. Refer to Figure 3
or Figure 4 for typical installation layouts.
CAUTION
If the residence is unattended in severely cold weather, burner primary
control safety lockout, heating system component failures, power
outages or other electrical system failures could result in frozen
plumbing and water damage in a matter of hours. For protection, take
preventive acations such as having a security system installed that
operates during power outages, senses low temperature and initiates
an effective action. Consult with your heating contractor or a home
security agency.
