GENERAL NOTES
INSTALLATION OF FIRED HEATING UNITS SHALL BE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REGULATION OF
AUTHORITIES HAVING JURISDICTION AND THE CAN/CSA-B139,
ANSI/NFPA-70 STANDARDS.
The units are approved for fuel not heavier than No.2 (furnace). Do not use gasoline, crankcase oil
or any oil containing gasoline.
Respect the local codes (when in doubt, consult your local heating appliances dealer).
Make sure that the clearances indicated on the certification plate correspond to the specifications in the
instruction manual.
Make sure that your furnace is installed in conformity with the instructions on the name plate.
All the controls adjustments must be performed by a qualified technician. The controls settings and the
fan speed must be in compliance with the recommendations of the Warm Air Heating and Air Conditioning
National Association and must respect the static pressure ranges in the warm air plenum of the furnace.
1. DRAFT AND CHIMNEY
The chimney must be conform to the rules of the authorities having jurisdiction and the CAN/CSA B139
M-91 & 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 qualified pipe fitter.
The barometric damper provided with the appliance must be properly installed on the flue pipe of the oil
unit. The purpose of the damper is to limit the draft, if necessary, in the oil unit evacuation pipe.
2. OIL TANK AND PIPING
The maximum capacity of the tank must be 200 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. Be sure that oil line is clean before connecting to the burner.
The oil line must be protected adequately to avoid any damage. Installations having the fuel oil tank below
the burner level must employ a two pipe fuel supply system with an appropriate fuel oil pump.
BURNER PUMP
The burner is equipped with a single stage pump. When the pump is connected to a single feeder pipe, a
maximum rise of 8 feet is allowed. This height is measured from the tank outlet level to the burner inlet.
When the rise is more than 8 feet and not exceeding 10 feet, a by-pass plug (provided with the burner)
must be inserted in the pump and an oil return pipe must be installed.
