Figure 16 Recommended oil piping connection to burner (follow applicable code requirements and

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.
