This equipment must be installed, adjusted and started only by a experienced with all codes and ordinances, who is responsible for the installation and adjustment of the equipment. The installation must comply with all local codes and ordinances and with the latest revision of the National Fire Protection Standard for Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA 31 (or CSA B139).

Chimney or vent

• Inspect the chimney or vent, making sure it is properly sized and in good condition for use.

For those installations not requiring a chimney, such as through-the-wall

•

vented appliances, follow the instructions given by the appliance and power venter (if used) manufacturers.

Direct air supply and sidewall venting

• When sidewall venting appliances, carefully follow appliance and power venter instructions for installation and wiring.

• Some AF burners are equipped with combustion air boots to allow use of outside air for combustion.

applications.

Combustion air supply

See NFPA Standard 31 for complete details.

WARNING

If the burner is not supplied with a reliable combustion air source, the burner cannot properly burn the fuel. This would result in incomplete combustion, causing sooting and possible emission of carbon monoxide. Severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage could occur.

Appliance located in confined space

The confined space should have two (2) permanent openings: one near the top of the enclosure and one near the bottom of the enclosure. Each opening shall have a free area of not less than (1) one square inch per 1,000 BTU’s per hour of the total input rating of all appliances within the enclosure. The openings shall have free access to the building interior, which should have adequate infiltration from the outside.

Exhaust fans and other air-using devices

Size air openings large enough to allow for all air-using devices in addition to the minimum area required for combustion air. If there is any possibility of the equipment room developing negative pressure (because of exhaust fans or clothes dryers, for example), either pipe combustion air directly to the burner or provide a sealed enclosure for the burner and supply it with its own combustion air supply.

Outside air kit applications

Refer to separate instruction sheet supplied with AF outside air kit for installation. This optional kit allows combustion air to be piped directly to the burner (Beckett part number 51747).

WARNING

You must install the outside air kit strictly following the kit installation instructions. Do not attempt to install outside air piping without using the AF outside air kit and instructions. Failure to do so could result in burner or heating appliance failure, causing potential severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.

Clearances to burner and appliance

• Provide space around burner and appliance for easy service and maintenance.

Check minimum clearances against those shown by the appliance

•

manufacturer and by applicable building codes.

Combustion chamber — Burner retrofitting

Verify that the appliance combustion chamber provides at least the minimum dimensions given in Table 2.

CAUTION

When retrofitting an appliance that has an unlined stainless steel combustion chamber, chamber burnout could result from the use of a high performance burner. Protect the chamber from high temperatures through the use of "wet-pac" or a similar ceramic liner. Some equipment may utilize a stainless steel combustion chamber that has been designed and tested by the manufacturer for use with a flame retention burner, therefore ceramic protection would not be necessary. Refer to appliance manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to comply could result in damage to heating equipment.
