WARNING
All information in this manual is for
reference and guidance purposes,
and does not substitute for required
professional training, conduct,
and strict adherence to applicable
jurisdictional/professional codes and
regulations.
The vent line connection on the
gas pressure regulator must be
piped to outdoor air by the installer
in accordance with National Fuel
Gas Code, ANSI Z223-1-1991 or
latest addenda. In Canada, gas
installations must be in accordance
with the current CAN/CGA B149.1 and
2 and/or local codes.

CAUTION
Some soap used for leak testing is
corrosive to certain types of metals.
Clean all piping thoroughly after
completing the leak check.
11. After gas piping is completed and before wiring installation is started,
carefully check all piping connections, (factory and fi eld), for gas leaks. Use
a soap and water solution.
 The Oil Supply
Fuel Oil Viscosity Specifi c Gravity Sulfur Content
#2 Less than 31.9 Seconds Redwood #1 at
100°F (38°C) 0.824 to 0.852 at 59°F (15°C) less than 0.40%

100°F (38°C) 0.95 to 0.98 at 59°F (15°C) less than 2.12%
by weight
*Notes: Propane gas pilot required. Oil must be delivered to the Fulton equipment at 160°F, 3 psi. Fulton
equipment will then preheat the oil from 160°F to 230°F. All fuel train components to be rated for the
temperature and pressure. Fuel train to be heat traced and insulated.
Adhere to the following for installation:
1. Fuel pipes must be of approved materials and of a diameter suitable for the
quantity of oil being delivered to the burner and the static head available.
See Figure 5.
2. Make fuel connection in accordance with the details on the enclosed fuel
pump cut sheet.
3. Ensure fuel oil piping is in accordance with local/national requirements.
In addition, if a two pipe system is employed, a check valve must be fi tted
into the return pipe.
4. Meet the maximum pressure allowed at the fuel oil pump inlet per the
National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).
NOTE:

If for some reason the pressure of the fuel supply will exceed NFPA
maximum, fi tting a regulator to the fuel line must be considered, e.g. when there is
a tank situated with an oil level eight feet (2.4 m) or more above the pump.
5. On units fi tted with NFPA controls, ignition is obtained by means of a gas
pilot. A natural gas or LP supply is required for these units. The required
gas supply pressure is 7” w.c. If a guaranteed supply of natural gas is not
available, then a supply of bottled gas at 11“w.c. is required. For details
contact a local liquid propane dealer.
Instrument Air
Instrument air provision for pneumatically actuated control devices should meet
the minimum and maximum fl ow rate and delivery pressures specifi ed by the
individual equipment. Additionally, it should be a dry, dust free supply with a
dew point of -40°F (-40°C).
