• Do not use galvanised steel tanks or
pipework for the oil supply system.
• Do not use soldered joints on the oil
supply pipework.
a) Single pipe gravity feed system:
The oil storage tank (A) must be positioned so
that the oil level does not exceed 4 metres above
the level of the burner oil pump (J) and in addi-
tion the oil level must be at least 300mm above
the oil pump (J). Where the maximum oil level in
the oil storage tank exceeds 4 metres, a head
breaking device must be installed between the
tank (A) and the burner oil pump (J).

the oil storage tank exceeds 4 metres, a head
breaking device must be installed between the
tank (A) and the burner oil pump (J).
b) Double pipe sub-gravity feed system:
Maximum suction height 3.5 metres. Non-return
valves must be fitted to the inlet and return oil
line between the oil pump (J) and oil storage
tank (A).
Maximum suction height 3.5 metres. Non-return
valves must be fitted to the inlet and return oil

c) Single pipe suction lift with de-aerator
Maximum suction height 3.5 metres. The oil
tank (A) must be positioned below the oil pump
(J). Create an inlet and return loop between the
de-aerator (M) and oil pump (J).

A non-return valve must be incorporated within
the de-aerator or fitted to the oil line between
the oil storage tank (A) and the de-aerator (M).

A top feed oil tank fitted with a de-aerator
using an internal non-return valve should have
any non-return valves fitted in the base of the
tank to the suction line removed to assist
purging air from the oil line.

Pipework
Use copper pipe of the correct diameter
Use copper pipe of the correct diameter
according to the information shown opposite.
Use flexible hoses to connect to the oil pump (J).
Use flexible hoses to connect to the oil pump (J).
Lay the oil supply pipe (H) as straight and
level as possible to avoid air pockets and
unnecessary friction losses. Route away
from the boiler access door or other hot
surfaces.

Install a manual isolating valve (B) to the oil
supply pipe (H), as close to the oil storage
tank (A) as possible.

Fit an oil strainer and water seperator (C) to
the oil supply pipe, near the oil storage tank.
Fit an additional oil filter (N, 16µm max
filtration size) close to the boiler, but not
inside the boiler casing.

Fit a fire valve in accordance with BS 5410.
The fire valve (D) must be fitted externally
at least 1 metre from the appliance with the
fire valve sensor (F) located within the
appliance case.

A capillary type valve provides a neat and
simple installation. Alternatively, a fusible
link or electrical system may be used.
