THE INSTALLATION OF THE WOOD/OIL COMBINATION FURNACE MUST
BE DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RULES OF THE AUTHORITIES
HAVING JURISDICTION AND THE CAN/CSA B-139 M-91 STANDARD FOR
OIL BURNING HEATING APPLIANCES.
OIL BURNING FURNACES ARE NOT APPROVED FOR USE WITH
COMBUSTIBLE HEAVIER THAN NO.2 OIL (FURNACE OIL). DO NOT USE
GASOLINE, TRANSMISSION OIL, OR OTHER TYPE OF OIL CONTAINING
GASOLINE.
FOR INSTALLATION IN WOOD/OIL CONFIGURATION, YOU MUST USE OF A
7" CHIMNEY. A 7" TO 6" REDUCER MUST BE INSTALLED AT THE FLUE
OUTLET OF THE FURNACE

3.4.3.1 DRAFT AND CHIMNEY

The chimney must conform to the rules of the authorities having jurisdiction and
the CAN/CSA B139 & NFPA 31 standard regarding installation of oil burning
heating appliances. The installation of the connecting pipes to the oil unit must
be done and approved by a professional.
NOTE: The barometric damper provided with the appliance must be
properly installed on the flue pipe of the oil burning unit. The purpose of
the damper is to adjust the draft in the evacuation pipe of the oil burning
unit to the recommended level. Since the evacuation pipe of the oil burning
unit is connected on the evacuation pipe of the wood burning furnace, the
minimum draft to be respected is 0.04 IN.W.C. in the evacuation pipe of the
wood burning side, at all times. In fact, a barometric damper that would be
opened too wide could cause an important loss of draft in the evacuation
pipe of the wood burning furnace.

3.4.3.2 OIL TANK AND PIPING

The maximum capacity of the tank must not exceed 200 imperial gallons and the
tank must be located at least 7 feet from the burner. Local codes will govern the
size of the air inlets and filling openings as well as the type of plugs to be used.
1 1/4" IPS and 2" IPS are usually accepted as minimum dimensions for the air
intake pipes and fill pipes, respectively. The oil line to the burner must be a 3/8"
outside diameter copper tubing for runs up to 50 feet and ½" o.d. for longer runs.
A manual shut-off valve and an oil filter shall follow in sequence on the oil line
between the oil tank and the burner. The oil line must be buried or protected
adequately to avoid any damage.
