Prior to installing the burner, the site conditions and
utilities need to be evalulated. This section provides
some general questions that can help the review pro-
cess. Inspect 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. Check wiring
connections and fasteners for tightness.
Verify that all ship loose (or separately shipped) items
are on hand. This normally will be gas train compo-
nents, 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 the correct 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 combination burner, is gas available at the
burner location?
7. If a combination 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 SC series burners must be
operated with a two-pipe system.
8. If a retrofit installation, has the same oil grade always
been used? Does it meet the grade specified on the
burner's rating plate?
CAUTION
THE COMBINATION BURNER SHALL ONLY BURN
THAT GRADE OF OIL SHOWN ON THE RATING
PLATE. DO NOT USE GASOLINE, CRANKCASE
OIL, OR ANY OIL CONTAINING GASOLINE OR
TOXIC CONTAMINANTS.

C. INSTALLATION
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 burner.
13. Gas piping should be flushed (cleaned) prior to use.
14. Check minimum straight lengths for gas pressure
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 multiple vessels connect to a single stack, are they
sized and designed to maintain +/- 0.1" wc draft at the
vessel outlet under all operating conditions.
19. 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
20. Is the burner mounting plate and burner head sealed
with rope gasket? (See Figure E-2)
21. Is there a drip leg in the gas supply to capture foreign
material? (See Figure C-1)
22. Is the piping between the gas train and burner done in
a manner that will minimize the pressure drop?
23. Has all of the piping been pressure checked for leaks?
24. Is the combustion chamber of proper size and is the
center-line height of the burner head adequate? (See
charts C-2 & C-3.)
