WASTE OIL FURNACE INSTALLATION
Sizing Furnace Correctly
In order to make a prudent choice when determining the size of a waste oil furnace required
for an installation, it is necessary to do a heat loss survey of the building.
If the unit is equipped with a domestic hot water coil, this fact will need to be considered
when sizing. Drawing hot water at a rate of 3 gallons per minute requires approximately
150,000 BTUH, assuming a temperature rise of 100 degrees F. (55 Degrees C.). Other
unusual factors such as supplying heat for a pool or hot tub should be considered.
Rigging and Positioning of Furnace
Do not attempt to move or off-load the furnace without the aide of a crane or dolly. Most
waste oil models have a lifting lug in the center of the top while on some units two lifting
lugs in the front and rear are provided.
Once on the floor level where it will be installed, the unit may be rolled on pipe or by
means of a pallet jack. The waste oil furnace must be placed on a concrete slab, or
other rigid pad of non-combustible material, with sufficient strength to adequately
support the furnace, including its contents of water.
