Pre-Installation Checklist
Combustion air supply
31. For appliance/burner units in confi ned spaces, the
room must have an air opening near the top of the room
plus one near the fl oor, each with a free area at least
one square inch per 1,000 Btu/hr input of all fuel burning
equipment in the room. For other conditions, refer to
NFPA 31 (CSA B1139-M91 in Canada).
If there is a risk of the space being under negative
pressure or of exhaust fans or other devices depleting
available air for combustion and ventilation, the
appliance/burner should be installed in an isolated room
provided with outside combustion air.
Clearances
With the burner installed in the appliance, there must be
adequate space in front of and on the sides of the burner
to allow access and operation. Verify that the clearance
dimensions comply with all local codes and with the
appliance manufacturer’s recommendations.

50 Hz motors — The burner
ratings, air settings and nozzle
ratings are based on standard 60 hz motors (at 3450
rpm). Derate all ratings 20% when using 50 hz motors.
Consult factory for specifi c application data.
High altitude installations —
Accepted industry practice requires
no derate of burner capacity up to 2,000 feet above sea
level. For altitudes higher than 2,000 feet, derate burner
capacity 2% for each 1000 feet above sea level.
The burner requires combustion air and ventilation air
for reliable operation. Assure that the building and/or
combustion air openings comply with National Fire
Protection Standard for Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA
Adequate Combustion
and Ventilation Air Supply
