COMMISSIONING
OIL SYSTEM
A two single pipe system may also be used in low-level
tank installations. See page 22. Please flush out the oil
pipe by drawing off some oil before connecting the fuel
pipe to the burner - otherwise there is a danger of grit and
dirt being forced into the burner pump, resulting in pump
blockage, damage and “lock-out”.
CHECKLIST FOR INSTALLING AND
COMMISSIONING A FIREBIRD BOILER
Pre-installation check:
Is the following documentation included with the
boiler, Installation Manual, Boiler Passport, Burner
Book?
Is the base on which the boiler is to be installed solid?
Allow sufficient room for future servicing of the boiler.
Where does the flue terminate:
Make sure there is no window, door or fence within 1
metre of the flue-terminal.
If the flue terminates in a corner or into an allyway,
re- circulation of the combustion gases in the air intake
could occur. A plume dispersal may be required or an
alternative flue arrangement might be available.
Contact the Firebird technical department for advise.
The appropriate class 1 flue must be used with a
conventional flue installation. Contact Firebird if
unsure.
Power supply:
Is a timed and permanent power supply available, via a
fused spur with a 5amp fuse.
Oil supply:
The burner is set for 28 Second Class C fuel.
Check that there is a good quality filter on the line with
an isolating valve.
There should be a remote sensing fire valve.
If a deaerator is required, fit the bypass screw in the oil
pump. Check that the second flexible oil line is
approved by the manufacturer.
Verify that the oil tank has been installed correctly as
per building standards.
COMMISSIONING
It is the responsibility of the installer/householder
to ensure that the boiler is properly commissioned
when first used.
The boiler should be commissioned by an OFTEC
registered, or competent, qualified engineer,
familiar with Firebird products.
The installation certificate and the commissioning
certificate within the boiler passport should be
completed and posted to Firebird within 28 days of
installation (this can also be done online on the
Firebird website). A copy should be retained by the
commissioning engineer.
The system should be checked thoroughly.
PROCEDURES
OIL TANK
The installation of the oil tank and supply line should
comply with all the instructions shown earlier in this
manual. Consult OFTEC book 3.
If a single supply line is used,ensure that the bottom of the
tank is above the burner. A suction line system via a
deaerator should be used where the level of the oil in the
tank may fall below the level of the oil burner pump.
Check and ensure correct grade fuel oil
has been supplied.
