WARNING
All information in this manual is for
reference and guidance purposes,
and does not substitute for required
professional training, conduct, and strict
adherence to applicable jurisdictional/
professional codes and regulations.
DO NOT USE JP-8, GASOLINE, CRANKCASE
OIL OR ANY OIL CONTAINING GASOLINE in
the operation of your Vantage boiler.

2. Fuel pipes must be of approved materials and of a diameter suitable for the
quantity of oil being delivered to the burner and the static head available.
A fusible link valve and a stop valve and fire valve assembly should be
supplied by the client/contractor. In addition a check valve must be fitted
into the return pipe.
3. Be sure to install a foot valve as indicated in Figure 16. The foot valve is a
check valve for the oil line between the oil pump on the boiler and the
supply tank. The foot valve keeps the oil line charged at all times.
4. Install a filter on the suction side of the burner pump. A 50 micron or better
filter is required. Verify the filter is approved for the fuel oil flow rates in
Table 4.
5. The maximum pressure allowed at the burner fuel oil pump suction
side inlet is limited to 3 PSIG (20.68 kPa) by the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA-31). If the fuel supply can exceed this maximum, a
pressure reducing regulator must be installed. The minimum pressure at
the pump inlet should never exceed 13" Hg of vacuum.
6. The oil pump (Figure 12 and 13) on Vantage boiler models VTG-2000DF,
VTG-3000DF and VTG-4000DF is a SUNTEC model AJ4CC or acceptable
alternate. Model sizes VTG-5000DF and VTG-6000DF utilize the SUNTEC
TA2 pump. Reference the Factory Test Fire Report for pump pressure
setting. This pressure must be checked and adjusted (if required) after the
burner has been ignited. There is a pressure gauge provided with the oil
pump assembly on the boiler so pressure can be monitored.
7. The oil piping system is a 2-pipe system. The delivery rate of oil to the
burner will be greater than the fuel consumption rate of the burner. The oil
that is not consumed is returned to storage. See Table 4.

8. The suction line must be longer than the return line in the tank to minimize
air being pulled into the oil suction piping system. See Figure 16.
9. Fuel Supply: The pumping unit of the burner is equipped with a self-
priming pump, which is capable of feeding itself within the limits listed in
the table in Figure 12 and 13.
10. The tank is higher than the pumping unit (A): The distance "P" must not
exceed 33 ft (10 m) in order to avoid subjecting the pump's seal to excessive
strain; the distance "V" must not exceed 13 ft (3.94 m) in order to permit
