Prior to installing the burner, the site conditions and utili-
ties need to be evalulated. This section provides some
general questions that can help the review process. In-
spect the burner for any undetected damage that may
have occurred during shipment or by job-site handling.
Special attention should be given to the control panel
and protruding parts such as linkages. Check linkages,
air louver stops, wiring connections and fasteners for
tightness.
Verify that all ship loose (or separately shipped) items
are on hand. This normally will be: gas train components,
mounting lugs and insulating rope. Also, front mounting
plate and remote oil pump set, if supplied. The burner
material list included with the instruction manual serves
as a good checklist for this purpose.
1. Is there adequate outside ventilation to supply the
needed air for safe combustion as required by your local
regulatory agency?
2. If a burner mounting plate is required, is it available
and does it meet specifications? (See Section E)
3. Is 120-60-1 voltage available for the control circuit
and is the correct voltage available for the blower motor
as well for the remote oil pump set and air compressor,
if used?
4. Will the burner properly fit the boiler or heater with
ample clearance on top, bottom and sides?
5. If a gas burner, will there be adequate gas pressure to
assure the specified firing rate?
6. If a straight oil burner with gas pilot, is gas available at
the burner location?
7. If an oil burner, what is the age and condition of the
oil tank(s) and will there be special piping arrangements
needed to deliver the oil to the burner?
Important Note: The JB series burners must be oper-
ated with a two-pipe system.
8. If an oil burner, what grade of fuel oil is in the tank(s) or
on order? If a retrofit installation, has the same oil grade
always been used? Does it meet the grade specified on
the burner's UL rating plate?
CAUTION
The oil burner shall only burn that grade of oil shown
on the UL rating plate. DO NOT USE GASOLINE,
CRANKCASE OIL, OR ANY OIL CONTAINING GAS-
OLINE OR TOXIC CONTAMINANTS.
9. Is there adequate flue provisions to assure SAFE and
proper venting of the burner?
10. All manuals should be reviewed and understood and
stored in a convenient place.
11. Teflon tape should not be used on any field piping.
12. Rope gaskets should be used between vessel and
mounting plate, and between mounting plate and burn-
er.
13. Gas piping should be flushed (cleaned) prior to use.
14. Check minimum straight lengths for gas pressure

C. INSTALLATION
regulator and/or sensing line.
15. Oil piping to be flushed (cleaned) prior to use.
16. Check pump suction pressure (max 10" Hg) or max
press (3 psig) if transfer pump is used or tank elevation is
higher than the pump.
17. Strainer before oil pump, sized for max pump suction
capacity.
18. If FGR is used, does it follow Webster guidelines. (see
addendum 950064)
19. If multiple vessels connect to a single stack, are they
sized and designed to maintain +/- 0.1" wc draft at the ves-
sel outlet under all operating conditions.
20. Is stack designed to maintain +/- 0.1" wc at outlet during
all operating conditions.
DO NOT USE TEFLON TAPE OR COMPOUNDS
CONTAINING TEFLON. THIS COULD DAMAGE THE
VALVES CREATING AN UNSAFE OPERATION
21. Is the burner mounting plate and burner head sealed
with rope gasket? (See Figure E-2)
22. Has the new gas and oil piping been purged to remove
debris?
23. Is there a drop leg in the gas supply to capture foreign
material? (See Figure C-1)
24. Is the piping between the gas train and burner done in
a manner that will minimize the pressure drop?
25. Has all of the piping been pressure checked for leaks?
26. Is the combustion chamber of proper size and is the
center-line height of the burner head adequate? (See
charts C-2 & C-3.)
