Low Firing Rate Baffl e
The AFG Low Firing Rate Baffl e (LFRB) reduces
the air fl ow and pressure. The LFRB is sometimes
used for fi ring rates under 1.00 gph as listed in
Table 4. Refer to the appliance manufacturer’s in-
structions. Do not omit the LFRB when specifi ed.
Omitting the baffl e when specifi ed or installing the
baffl e when not specifi ed could result in impaired
burner performance.

Burner fuel unit
Verify that the burner fuel unit is compatible with
the oil supply system. For more details, refer to

When retrofi tting appliances that have unlined
stainless steel combustion chambers, protect the
chamber by lining the inside surfaces with a ce-
ramic fi ber blanket, such as a wet-pac or other
suitable refractory material.
Some steel chambers may not require liners be-
cause the appliance was designed and tested
for use with fl ame retention burners. Refer to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

Nozzle manufacturers calibrate nozzle fl ow rates
at 100 psig.
When pump pressures are higher than 100 psig,
the actual nozzle fl ow rate will be greater than the
gph stamped on the nozzle body. (Example: A
1.00 gph nozzle at 140 psig = 1.18 gph)
