Section: INSPECT/PREPARE INSTALLATION SITE
Examine the installation site for conditions that could
adversely affect the health and safety of installation
personnel and the user of the appliance or proper
operation of the burner and appliance, and correct any
defects found.
○ The area around the appliance should be
unobstructed and dry.
○ Wiring must be in good condition and meet code
requirements.
○ If the burner is replacing an existing oil burner, old
piping and the tank must be secured or removed to
prevent leakage or unintended deliveries of oil.
○ Local jurisdictions may require removal of oil tanks.
See NFPA-30 flammable and combustible liquids
code for approved procedures.
Inspect Chimney and Vent System
1. Any accumulation of soot or debris in chimney
offsets must be removed
2. Any obstructions such as a protruding joint or a
piece of broken tile wedged in the chimney must be
removed.
3. No other appliance connection should be made to
the same flue pipe.
4. The flue pipe should have an upward pitch toward
the chimney of at least 1/4” per foot of length. It
should fit tightly and should not project into the
chimney, see Figure 3.
Explosion, Fire,
Asphyxiation Hazard
Wet or dusty environments could lead
to blocked air passages, corrosion
damage to components, impaired
combustion performance and result in
asphyxiation, explosion or fire.
y This burner is designed for clean, dry
installations.
y Electrical controls are not protected against rain
or sprayed liquids.
y Keep the installation clear of dust, dirt, corrosive
vapors, and moisture.
y Protective covers and frequent maintenance may
be required.
Fire, Smoke &
Asphyxiation Hazard
y Carefully inspect the chimney,
chimney liner & exhaust vent system.
y Make sure it is properly sized and in
good working condition.
y Follow the instructions supplied by
the appliance manufacturer.
y If a draft regulator is required, it must be a
double-acting type, agency recognized for use
with gas vent systems.
y The chimney installation and vent sizing
must strictly comply with all applicable codes,
authorities having jurisdiction and the latest
revision of the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI
Z223.1, or NFPA54) or CAN/CGA B/49 Canada.
Remove any vent damper device.
y Regulation by these authorities take precedence
over the general instructions provided in this
installation manual.
