Burner Oil Connection - Grant Vortex Pro Internal Combi Series Installation And Servicing Instructions

For guidance on the installation of top outlet fuel tanks and
suction oil supply pipe sizing, refer to OFTEC Technical Book 3:
Storage and Supply, available for purchase from OFTEC.
If a two-pipe system is to be used, the following additional items
will be required:
• Flexible fuel hose ⅜ʺ male x ¼ʺ female, 900 mm long
(product code: RBS36)
• ⅜ʺ x ¼ʺ BSP adaptor (product code: RBS35)
• ¼ʺ isolating valve (product code: ISOLATION1/4)
These are available to purchase from Grant UK.
3.1.5 SinGLE pipE (SUCtiOn) SYStEM With
DEaERatOR - (REfER tO fiGURE 3-3)
If the storage tank outlet is below the level of the burner oil pump,
an alternative to the two pipe (sub gravity) system is the single
pipe (suction) system using a deaerator, e.g. a 'Tiger Loop'
device.
The deaerator creates a loop with the burner oil pump, with the oil
being circulated through the pump out to the deaerator and back
to the pump. Any air in the single pipe lift from the tank is removed
from the oil, collected in the deaerator and then discharged to
outside.
! WaRninG !
to prevent any fuel vapour being discharged within
the building, the deaerator must be fitted outside, in
accordance with BS 5410-1, unless it is specifically
designed to be installed inside.
The de-aerator must be mounted vertically at the same level as
(or above) the burner oil pump. Refer to Figure 3-3.

An external deaerator must not be fitted within 500 mm of a flue
terminal.
Always follow the manufacturers installation instructions supplied
with the deaerator.
To use a de-aertor, the following additional items will be required:
• Flexible fuel hose ⅜ʺ male x ¼ʺ female, 900 mm long
(product code: RBS36)
• ⅜ʺ x ¼ʺ BSP adaptor (product code: RBS35)
• ¼ʺ isolating valve (product code: ISOLATION1/4)
These are available to purchase from Grant UK.

the blanking plug supplied in the inlet (suction) port is
plastic and will not provide an oil tight seal when the pump
is running.
Ensure that the supply from the tank is connected to this
port and that the plastic plug is discarded.
The burner fuel pump is supplied factory set for use with a single
pipe (gravity) oil supply system.
For ease of access to the burner oil pump connections, the burner
should be removed from the boiler as follows:

Unscrew and remove the plastic blanking plug from the
suction port of the burner oil pump and discard it.
Fit the nut of the elbow connection on the flexible fuel hose
(supplied with the boiler) into the suction port and tighten.
Fit the ¼ʺ isolating valve (supplied with the boiler) to the end
of the rigid oil supply pipe using a fitting to suit the pipe size
and type (not supplied).
Connect the other end of the flexible fuel hose to the isolating
valve using the ⅜ʺ x ¼ʺ BSP adaptor (supplied with the
boiler).
Re-fit the burner to the boiler.
