Locate & Level the Unit
The compact design of this furnace makes it ideal for a
basement or utility room installation. Choose a central
location for the furnace so that supply air ducts approximately the same length. This will allow each room to receive the proper amount of heat. The furnace should be
placed so that the flue connection to the chimney will be of
minimum length and have a minimum number of elbows.
1− Set the unit in desired location keeping in mind the
clearances listed in table 2. Also keep in mind oil supply connections, electrical supply, flue connections
and sufficient clearance for installing and servicing
unit.
2− Level the unit from side to side and from front to rear. If
the furnace is not level, place fireproof wedges or
shims between the low side of the furnace and the
floor. Make sure the weight of the furnace is distributed
evenly on all four corners. Strain on sides of cabinet
causing cracking and popping noises may occur if
weight of furnace is not evenly distributed.
Unit Adjustments
Neither the nozzle setting nor the air adjustments are factory set. The furnace is fire tested and the limit control is
checked to make sure it functions properly; no factory settings are made. During installation, the furnace must be
set up." The installing dealer/contractor must have and
use proper test equipment in order to correctly set up the oil
furnace. Proper testing equipment is required to ensure
correct operation of the unit. The use of test equipment is
now more critical than ever due to tighter tolerances needed to keep the furnace operating efficiently.
Among the test equipment for an oil furnace, the proper
combustion test kit should contain the following:
D Draft gauge
D CO
or O2 Analyzer
2
D Smoke tester
D Pressure gauge
D High temperature thermometer
D Oil vacuum gauge
D Beckett T−500 gauge
D Knowledge of proper test equipment operation
CAUTION
Improper nozzle and/or air adjustment of this unit
may result in sooting problems. Refer to the following section for correct adjustment procedures.
Nozzle Adjustment
Proper adjustment of the nozzle assembly is critical because
alignment may have changed during shipping. Before the furnace and oil lines are installed, the nozzle assembly must be
checked. This may easily be done by removing the entire
burner assembly (not just the nozzle) from the furnace. The
lower firing nozzle is factory installed. This should be verified
by the installer. Inspect the spark transformer leads also to
ensure they are still attached to the electrodes. Note that
OF23−105/120 and OF23−140/154 series units use the
Beckett AFII burner. OF23−175/210R series units use the
Beckett AFG burner.
The burner assembly is attached to the vestibule panel by
three nuts. Slots are provided in the mounting flange for removing the burner assembly from the vestibule. By loosening the nuts and by turning the whole burner assembly counterclockwise (figure 3), the entire burner assembly will come
out of the furnace. There is adequate wire to remove the
burner without disconnecting wires. Once removed, just turn
the burner around in the vest panel area.
OF23 Series Burner Removal
First, loosen three nuts which
attach burner to vest panel.
Next, rotate burner counter-
clockwise on slots then pull
toward you.
Figure 3
To correctly adjust the nozzle, use a Beckett #T−500 gauge.
Insert the small end of the gauge into the end of the cone
and measure from the flat of the end cone to the tip of the
nozzle. When nozzle depth is correct, the tip of the nozzle
should just touch the end of the gauge. Refer to the illustration sheet provided with the gauge. Note that the scale side
of the gauge is not used for this purpose. Corrections are
made by sliding the entire nozzle assembly forward or
backward within the blast tube (figure 4). At the same time,
nozzle alignment must be checked.
To check nozzle alignment, again insert the small end of
gauge into the end cone and measure the nozzle and
electrode alignment against the center lines marked on
the gauge (again refer to enclosed illustration sheet). If
the nozzle is not centered, but found to be too far left or
right, a new nozzle assembly will need to be ordered. Do
not attempt to adjust by bending the 90 degree elbow in
the oil line.

Venting
WARNING
Combustion air openings in front of the furnace must
be kept free of obstructions. Any obstruction will
cause improper burner operation and may result in
a fire hazard.
WARNING
The barometric damper shall be in the same atmospheric pressure zone as the combustion air inlet to
the furnace. Deviation from this practice will cause
improper burner operation and may result in a fire
hazard.
Prior to installation of unit, make a thorough inspection of the
chimney to determine whether repairs are necessary. Make
sure the chimney is properly constructed and sized according to the requirements of the National Fire Protection Association. The smallest dimensions of the chimney should be
at least equal to the diameter of the furnace vent connector.
Make sure the chimney will produce a steady draft sufficient
to remove all the products of combustion from the furnace. A
draft of at least .04" w.c. (9.9 Pa) is required during burner
operation.
1 − Local building codes may have more stringent installa-
tion requirements and should be consulted before
installation of unit.
2 − The vent connector should be as short as possible to
do the job.
3 − The vent connector should not be smaller than the out-
let diameter of the vent outlet of the furnace.
4 − Pipe should be at least 24 gauge galvanized.
5 − Single wall vent pipe should not run outside or through
any unconditioned space.
6 − Chimney should extend 3 feet (0.9 m) above highest
point where the vent passes through the roof, and 2
feet (0.6 m) higher than any portion of a building within
a horizontal distance of 10 feet (3 m).
7 − The vent must not pass through a floor or ceiling.
Clearances to single wall vent pipe should be no less
than 6" (152 mm); more if local codes require it.
8 − The vent may pass through a wall where provisions
have been made for a thimble as specified in the Standards of the National Board of Fire Underwriters. See figure 5.
Wall Thimble
CAUTION
Do not store combustible materials near the furnace
or supply air ducts. The material (such as paint, motor oil, gasoline, paint thinner, etc.) may ignite by
spontaneous combustion creating a fire hazard.
WARNING
This furnace is certified for use with type L" vent.
B" vent must not be used with oil furnaces.
NOTE − Oil burning equipment may be vented into an approved masonry chimney or type L vent. (Type L vent is
similar in construction to type B gas vent except it carries a
higher temperature rating and is constructed with an inner
liner of stainless steel rather than aluminum).
