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.

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.

Combustion and Ventilation Air
(Confined and Unconfined Spaces)
In the past, there was no problem in bringing in sufficient
amounts of outdoor air for combustion - infiltration provided all the air that was needed and then some. In today's
homes built with energy conservation in mind, tight
construction practices make it necessary to bring in air
from outside for combustion, Consideration must also be
given to the use of exhaust fans, appliance vents, chimneys and fireplaces because they force additional air that
could be used for combustion out of the house, Unless outside air is brought into the home for combustion, negative
pressure (pressure outside is greater than inside pressure)
will build to the point that a down draft can occur in the furnace vent pipe or chimney. Combustion gases enter the living space creating a potentially dangerous situation,

space. This space also includes adjacent rooms which are
not separated by a door. Though an area may appear to be
unconfined, it might be necessary to bring in outdoor air for
combustion if the structure does not provide enough air by
infiltration, If the furnace is located in a building of tight
construction with weather stripping and caulking around
the windows and doors, follow the procedures outlined for
using air from the outside for combustion and ventilation,
Confined Space
A confined space is an area with volume less than 50 cubic
feet (1,4 cubic meters) per 1,000 Btu (293 W) per hour of
the combined input rating of all appliances installed in that
space. This definition includes furnace closets or small
equipment rooms,

In the absence of local codes concerning air for combustion and ventilation, the following section outlines guidelines and recommends procedures for operating oil furnaces in a manner that ensures efficient and safe
operation. Special consideration must be given to combustion air needs as well as requirements for exhaust vents
and oil piping,

When the furnace is installed so that supply ducts carry air
circulated by the furnace to areas outside the space containing the furnace, the return air must be handled by ducts
which are sealed to the furnace casing and which terminate
outside the space containing the furnace, This is especially
important when the furnace is mounted on a platform in a
confined space such as a closet or small equipment room.
Even a small leak around the base of the unit at the platform
or at the return air duct connection can cause a potentially
dangerous negative pressure condition. Air for combustion
and ventilation can be brought into the confined space either from inside the building or from outside,

Combustion

Air from an Adjacent

The importance of the previous paragraph cannot be overstated. Users may inadvertently block fresh air intakes after
installation,

Air Requirements

Ak CAUTION

All oil-fired appliances require air to be used for the combustion process. If sufficient amounts of combustion air are
not available, the furnace or other appliance will operate in
an inefficient and unsafe manner. Enough air must be provided to meet the needs of all fuel-burning appliances, as
well as appliances such as exhaust fans which force air out
of the home. When fireplaces, exhaust fans, or clothes dryers are used at the same time as the furnace, much more
air is required to ensure proper combustion and to prevent
a down-draft situation. Insufficient amounts of air also
cause incomplete combustion which can result in sooting.
Requirements for providing air for combustion and ventilation depend largely on whether the furnace is installed in an
unconfined or confined space.

If the confined space housing the furnace adjoins space
categorized as unconfined, air can be brought in by providing two permanent openings between the two spaces.
Each opening must have a minimum free area of 1 square
inch (6,4 square centimeters) per 1,000 Btu (293 W) per
hour of the total input rating of all fuel-fired equipment in the
confined space. Each opening must be at least 100 square
inches (614,5 square centimeters), One opening shall be
within 12" (305 mm) of the top of the enclosure and one
opening within 12" (305 mm) of the bottom (See figure 8),
Equipment

An unconfined space is an area such as a basement or
large equipment room with a volume greater than 50 cubic
feet (1.4 cubic meters) per 1,000 Btu (293 W) per hour of
the combined input rating of all appliances installed in that

Air from Outside

Equipment

If air from outside is brought in for combustion and ventilation, the confined space shall be provided with two permanent openings. One opening shall be within 12" (305 mm)
of the top of the enclosure and one within 12" (305 mm) of
the bottom. These openings must communicate directly or
by ducts with the outdoors or spaces (crawl or attic) that
freely communicate with the outdoors or indirectly through
vertical ducts. Each opening shall have a minimum free
area of 1 square inch (6.4 square centimeters) per 4,000
Btu (1172 W) per hour of total input rating of all equipment
in the enclosure (See figures 9 and 10). When communicating with the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each
opening shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch
(6.4 square centimeters) per 2,000 Btu (586 W) per total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure (See figure 11).

the blocking effect of louvers, grilles, or screens must be
considered. If the design and free area of protective covering is not known for calculating the size opening required, it
may be assumed that wood louvers will have 20 to 25 percent free area and metal louvers and grilles will have 60 to
75 percent free area. Louvers and grilles must be fixed in
the open position or interlocked with the equipment so that
they are opened automatically during equipment operation.

Direct Connection of Outdoor Air for Combustion
The Beckett AFII burner was designed to allow for direct air
intake piping (4" [102 mm]). The maximum equivalent
length of pipe is 70 feet (21.3 m). A 90 _ elbow equals 6 feet
(1.8 m). The enclosed intake pipe ring may be used to facilitate direct air intake to the burner through the right side of
the cabinet. The AFG burner requires a special kit for direct
air intake. Refer to kit instructions.

Tjernlund (sideshot) #SSlC (Cat. #35E08) or Field Controls #SWG-5 (Cat. #35P08) with the CK-61 (Cat. #18N28)
control kit. Refer to the manufacturers' installation instructions for proper installation procedures and service parts
information.
The barometric draft control must be installed within 18
inches of the furnace flue outlet. See figure 12 for barometric draft control location.

CAUTION

Do not common vent with any other appliance when using
sidewall vent system.
Removal of Unit from Common Venting System
In the event that an existing furnace is removed from a
venting system commonly run with separate appliances,
the venting system is likely to be too large to properly vent
the remaining attached appliances. The following test
should be conducted while each appliance is in operation
and the other appliances not in operation remain connected to the common venting system. If venting system
has been installed improperly, the system must be corrected as outlined in the previous section.

The maximum equivalent length of pipe is 70 equivalent
feet. A 90 _ elbow equals 6 ft. Minimum length is 15 equivalent feet. Calculate the equivalent vent pipe footage from
the furnace to the mechanical vent system (Tjernlund or
Field Controls) by adding the straight vent pipe length and
the equivalent elbow lengths together.
Front Flue / Horizontal

1 - Seal any unused openings in the common venting
system.

bar°_;tlr) c

2 - Visually inspect venting system for proper size and
horizontal pitch and determine there is no blockage or
restriction, leakage, corrosion or other deficiencies
which could cause an unsafe condition.
3 - Insofar as is practical, close all building doors and windows and all doors between the space in which the appliances remaining connected to the common venting
system are located and other spaces of the building.
Turn on clothes dryers and any appliances not connected to the common venting system. Turn on any
exhaust fans, such as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they will operate at maximum speed. Do not
operate a summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.

For front flue models, the enclosed exhaust pipe ring may
be used for pipe to exit the left or right side of cabinet. Center line marks are provided in cabinet.
Use 24 gauge or heavier galvanized smoke pipe and fittings to connect furnace to vent. Connect flue pipe to chimney using the least number of elbows and angles possible.
Flue pipe or vent connector must be inserted into but not
beyond the outside wall of the chimney flue. No reduction in
diameter of flue pipe is acceptable. It is best to have flue
pipe as short and direct as possible. Where two or more appliances vent into a common flue, the area of the common
flue should be at least equal to the area of the largest flue or

When using a one-pipe system with the oil tank above the
burner and a vacuum of 6" (152 mm) Hg or less, a singlestage fuel pump with a supply line and no return line should
be adequate. See figure 14. Manual bleeding of the fuel
pump is required on initial start up. Failure to bleed air from
the oil pump could result in an air lock/oil starvation condition.
NOTE - As an extra precaution, cycle heating on and off ten
times after bleeding air from the oil pump. This will eliminate air in the gun assembly.
To determine the length of the run for piping, refer to table 2

If the installation requires a two-pipe operation, install the
bypass plug included in the bag which is attached to the
pump, To convert the pump, install the bypass plug according to the provided pump instructions, Notice in the two-pipe
system the return pipe must terminate in the tank 3" (76 mm)
to 4" (102 mm) above the supply inlet. Ensure the return pipe
terminates at the correct measurement or air may escape
into the system, This could result in loss of prime,

After oil piping is completed, carefully check all piping connections (factory and field) for oil leaks,
Oil Line Heater (Optional)
A heater for the oil pipe is available for applications that are
located in cold climates, The heater warms the oil pipe to
assist the initial start-up.

E - Burner Adjustment
The following instructions are essential to the proper operation of OF23 series oil furnaces, To prevent sooting,
these instructions must be followed in sequence:
1 - Draft
This test should be taken at the breach between the outlet
of the vent connector and the barometric draft control. Generally a 1/4" hole will need to be drilled for the draft gauge to
be inserted into the vent connector.

4 - CO2 Test
Again, take the sample at the vent pipe, With the unit firing
at a trace of smoke, take a sample of the CO2,
From the results of this test, a "window of operation" will be
determined, This window of operation establishes some
tolerance. The tolerance the installer builds in provides
room within the set-up for those things which might affect
combustion, Those things which might affect combustion
can then do so without causing the unit to start sooting/
smoking. Things which might affect combustion include a
nozzle going bad, draft that changes during different climatic conditions, dirty oil, dirt obstructing the air inlet, etc,
To build in a "window of operation," set up the burner to be
2% less in CO2. For example, if you find a reading of 12%
CO2, adjust the air inlet shutter to increase the air and drop
the CO2 to 10%.

the room air temperature from the stack temperature. This
will give you the net stack temperature. Use the efficiency
charts provided in most C02 analyzers to determine furnace efficiency.

A - Servicing Filter
NOTE - Under no circumstances should the access panels
to the blower compartment be left off or left partially open.
1- Throw-Away Type Filters -- Filters should be checked
monthly and replaced when necessary to assure proper furnace operation, Replace filters with like kind and
size filters,
2-

Reusable Type Filters -- Filters should be checked
monthly and cleaned when necessary to assure proper furnace operation. Use warm water and a mild detergent. Replace filter when dry. Permanent filters
supplied with OF23 furnaces do not require oiling after
cleaning. Examine filter label for any for special instructions that may apply,

Blower motor is pre-lubricated and sealed for extended operation. No further lubrication is required. Disconnect power to unit before cleaning blower wheel for debris,
C - Flue Pipe Inspection
The flue pipe should be inspected annually by a qualified
service technician, Remove and clean any soot or ash
found in the flue pipe, Inspect pipe for holes or rusted
areas, If replacement is necessary, replace with the same
size and type as required by code, Inspect the flue draft
control device and replace if found defective,
D - Cleaning Heat Exchanger
1- Remove the vent pipe from the furnace,
2- Remove the locking screws and the caps from the
clean out tubes, Remove flue access elbow.
3- Using a long spiral wire brush, sweep down the outer
drum of the heat exchanger. Then using the hose attachment, vacuum out loose debris,
4- Remove the locking screw and cap from the observation tube and with the spiral wire brush, reach upward
toward the rear of the heat exchanger to clean out the
crossover tube,

5 - Retest the Smoke
With a drop in the CO2 and increase in the air you should
see that the smoke has returned to 0,

CAUTION

6 - Retest the Overfire Draft
This test serves to confirm that you have not increased the
air too much, Again you do not want a positive pressure at
the test port. It should still be 0.02 less than the draft pressure reading taken at the breach. You may need to
increase the stack draft by adjusting the barometric draft
control,

5- Replace the clean out caps and flue access elbow,
Make sure locking screws are secure,
6- Brush out and vacuum the vent outlet area of the outer
drum and replace vent pipe.
7- Clean around burner, blower deck and vestibule area.

7 - Stack Temperature
Take a stack temperature reading in the vent pipe, Subtract
