• Fuel Line Installation
CAUTION
Do Not Use Teflon Tape
Damage
to the pump could cause impaired
burn-
er operation,
oil leakage
and appliance
soot-up.
•
Never use Teflon tape on fuel oil fittings.
•
Tape fragments can lodge in fuel line components
and fuel unit, damaging the equipment and pre-
venting proper operation.
•
Use oil-resistant pipe sealant compounds.
For fuel line installation, continuous lengths of heavy
wall copper tubing are recommended. Always use
flare fittings. Never use compression fittings.
Always install fittings in accessible
locations. To
avoid vibration
noise, fuel lines should not run
against the appliance or ceiling joists.
• Fuel Line Valves
and Filter
Install two high quality oil duty rated shutoff valves
in accessible locations on the oil supply line. Locate
one close to the tank and the other close to the
burner, upstream of the filter.
For protection in the event of fire, some states require the
shutoff valves to be a fusible-handle design. R.W. Beck-
ett Corporation recommends this design as good industry
practice for all installations.
To further protect the fuel supply system and reduce noz-
zle orifice plugging with firing rates below 0.75 gph, a dual
filtration system can be installed. This typically consists of
a 50 micron primary filter, located near the fuel tank and a
secondary filter rated for at least 10 microns located near
the burner.
Also install a generous capacity filter, rated for 50
microns or less, inside the building between the
fuel tank shutoff valve and the burner. Locate both
the filter and the valve close to the burner for ease
of servicing.
Inspect/Prepare
installation
Prepare the Burner
• General
Site
In most cases, the burner is ready to mount to the
appliance. There can be situations where the burn-
er needs to be reconfigured to perform properly in
the appliance.
Review the appliance manufactur-
er's specifications prior to installing to determine if
any modification is required to properly configure
the burner.
Instruction on how to perform the following burner
preparation
tasks can be found in the Professional
Maintenance section.
Remove / install burner nozzle
Check head/air adjusting plate
Mount Burner
on Appliance
Verify that the air tube installed on the burner
pro-
vides the correct insertion depth. Refer to Figure
3.
The end of the air tube should normally be 1/4" back
from the inside wall of the combustion
chamber.
Never allow the leading edge of the retention ring
to extend into the chamber, unless otherwise speci-
fied by the appliance manufacturer.
Bolt the burner to the appliance using the factory-
welded flange.
