NOTICE: This oil furnace must be installed and adjusted by only qualified
oil heating contractor using calibrated combustion test instruments to
ensure safe and reliable operation of the furnace.
Fuel System Installation
In situations where the oil storage tank is installed at the same level with, or
above, the burner, a single oil supply line run from the oil tank to the burner will
be usually be adequate. No return line will be required. If the oil tank is installed
below the burner and the lift exceeds approximately 6-ft., an oil supply line and
an oil return line are recommended.
Refer to the Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA 31-
2020, or latest edition and the oil burner operating instructions for detailed
information on oil storage tank & oil supply/return line installation.
NOTICE: We recommend installing a high efficiency oil filter, in the oil
supply line, capable of filtering 10 to 20 micron diameter (or preferably
smaller) particles from the fuel.
