Fulton Classic ICX or FB-F Vertical Tubeless Boilers (Steam) Oil Fired - Manual (Page 16)

Description/Instructions
Locating the Boiler
a) The boiler should be located in
dry surroundings on a level base,
making sure that there is sufficient
room around the boiler to enable the
operator and/or the maintenance
engineer to gain access to all parts
of the boiler. Check location for
ease of water supply and electrical
connections.
b) Place the boiler on a non-
combustible floor with clearances to
unprotected combustible materials,
including plaster or combustible
supports.
c) It is necessary to have the
following vertical clearance from the
floor to the ceiling for removal of the
burner for servicing:
Minimum Vertical Clearances
BHP Inches Millimeters
4 66 1676
6 76 1930
10 80 2032
15 86 2184
20 90 2286
30 100 2540
40 94 2388
50 102 2591
60 112 2845
d) Make sure the boiler is located
at a safe distance from the fuel oil
tank.
The Fuel Oil Supply
a) Be sure that the oil supply
lines from the tank to the burner
are of proper size. Vacuum should
not exceed 10” of mercury at the
pump inlet.
b) All Fulton oil burners are of the
two pass design system requiring a
return line and supply line. The oil
pump is factory set at 230 psi (=16
Kg/cm
2 ). Do not change this setting
without consulting factory.
c) A stop valve, a check valve, and
an oil filter must be installed in the
oil supply line.
d) When one oil line is feeding two
burners, a check valve must be
installed in each unit.
e) Make sure there are no loose fit-
tings. Loose fittings in the fuel oil
line will allow air to enter into the
fuel line and cause improper firing.
