SECTION 2 – FURNACE INSTALLATION
FURNACE LOCATION
Furnace location and other installation requirements were covered in the “Pre-installation
Considerations” document that was sent along with the confirmation of order. It is
absolutely essential that you have read that document before proceeding with the
installation. If you don’t have it, contact INOV8 and it will be faxed or e-mailed.
The furnace location is important to the efficient operation of the system. These
abbreviated guidelines will insure the most beneficial location. Further details are found
on subsequent pages.
1. The location of the chimney must be considered before other aspects of the
installation. See the section entitled, “Chimney Installation” for further details
2. Select a location as close as possible to the oil storage tank. The burner pump can
suck laterally easier than it can vertically but there are limits. If the distance from the
tank exceeds 30 feet or when the height exceeds 8 feet, a boost pump may be
necessary.
3. Furnaces hung higher than the standard 8 feet are not recommended. The location
should provide easy access to the furnace for routine servicing and
maintenance and for proper heat distribution.
4. DO NOT attach ducting to furnace (unless the furnace was ordered with the ducting
option that includes the squirrel-cage blower).
5. To prevent premature heat exchanger failure, DO NOT locate in areas where
chlorinated, halogenated or acid vapors or other corrosive contaminants may exist.
6. DO NOT install the furnace outdoors or in excessively wet conditions.
7. DO NOT attach air filters to the furnace.
8. In multiple furnace installations, arrange furnaces so that each supports the air
stream of the next furnace, thus creating circulatory air movement in the area. A
large portion of the heated air should be directed toward the side of the building
exposed to prevailing winds. The INOV8 dealer can provide recommendations for
the most efficient installation of multiple furnaces. These installations will vary
depending upon the unique layout of the facilities.
9. Adequate combustion air is required to maintain combustion. The INOV8 furnace will
not operate in a negative building pressure (see section on sealed combustion if this
exists).
10. Minimum clearances from combustible surfaces must be adhered to. See the
section “Minimum Clearances” for more information.
ATTACHING THE BURNER TO THE FURNACE
Carefully remove the burner and components from the shipping box. Be careful when
handling the burner, as the electrodes and the flame retention head are factory set and if
either are bumped or moved, the operation of the burner could be affected. If the
electrodes get out of adjustment, refer to page 25 for a diagram of the proper electrode
settings. The burner has been pre-fired in the factory prior to shipping and will have oil in
it. A plug has been installed in the pump for shipping and should be removed carefully to
avoid spilling oil.
INSTALLING THE BURNER:
1. Place the burner gasket onto the air tube.
2. Remove the three 3/8”-16 nuts from the burner mounting plate studs.
3. Place burner on mounting plate studs.
4. Now tighten the 3/8” nuts that hold the burner to the mounting plate.
