4.0 OIL TANKS & PIPING
Tank installation must conform to local requirements.
Install according to the applicable code. Minimize number of connections in suction line and
make all connections as tight as possible. Use a pipe joint compound suitable for oil on all pipe
threads. To reduce possibility of air leaks, tighten stem packing gland nut on any valves
installed in the suction line. Also, be sure the oil filter is tight, as filter gaskets often shrink.
Check for kinks in the oil lines as well as for possible air pockets and for loose connections.
Two filters as shown in Figure – 3 are recommended. The filter before the burner must be a 10
Micron or better. Optional tank gauge protectors and outlet protectors are available at your
local Kerr dealer.
ONE PIPE SYSTEM Where the tank is above the burner and when the oil flows by gravity to
the oil pump, a single-stage fuel unit with a single oil line to the pump
may be used.
TWO PIPE SYSTEM When single line is unsuitable, use double line or see your Kerr dealer
for special oil line fittings.
