A. General.
1. Use exible oil line(s) so that burner can be
removed without disconnecting the oil supply.
2. A supply line fuel oil lter is recommended as a
minimum for all ring rates but a pleated paper fuel
oil lter is recommended for the lowest ring rate
application to prevent nozzle fouling.
3. Use Flared ttings only. Do not use compression
ttings.
4. Use of a high efciency micron lter (Garber or
equivalent) in addition to conventional lter is
highly recommended.

Figure 20: Single-Pipe Installation
B. Single-pipe Oil Lines.
1. Standard burners are provided with single-stage
3450 rpm fuel units with the bypass plug removed
for single-pipe installations.
2. The single-stage fuel unit may be installed single-
pipe with gravity feed or lift. Maximum allowable
lift is 8 feet. See Figure 20.
NOTICE
Oil piping must be absolutely airtight or leaks or
loss of prime may result. Bleed line and fuel unit
completely.
