Frontier Oil Heat – PN 10-2021 – October 2021 - 9 -
L-VENT CHIMNEY
SYSTEM 2000 Boilers typically have flue gas temperatures between 350F and 450F during normal operation. Due to
the low flue gas temperatures, L-Vent chimney pipe is suitable for use with SYSTEM 2000 Boilers. L-Vent chimney pipe
may allow smaller chase dimensions than other chimney pipe materials and should be considered for new installations
with SYSTEM 2000 Boilers.
1. L-Vent must be U.L. Listed to U.L. 641.
2. L-Vent to be installed in accordance with the vent manufacturer’s instructions.
3. System 2000 and L-Vent must be installed in strict compliance with all State and Local Codes and with the regulations
of the authorities having jurisdiction, which may differ from and which take precedence over these instructions or the
vent manufacturer’s instructions.
SIDEWALL VENTING
1. System 2000 Boilers may be installed with Energy Kinetics' sidewall vent kit in accordance with kit instructions.
2. WARNING: Sidewall vent systems must have outside air connected to the air box and both air box air intake and
vent hood must be located on the same side of the structure.
3. NOTICE: The sidewall vent inducer should be located above the boiler flue outlet, preferably a minimum of four feet
vertical distance, which will provide some natural draft to the boiler (and cooling of the burner) in case of a power
failure. When installing a sidewall venting system from another manufacturer, ensure that the manufacturer’s
instructions are followed. Vent manufacturer should confirm that the equipment is suitable for use with System 2000.
4. Set the draft over fire of the boiler between -0.10" to -0.12" w.c. with the burner running, after allowing time for
sufficient warm-up. Check/adjust CO
2
. Re-check the draft over fire and adjust if necessary.
5. To provide power to the sidewall vent, set the Energy Manager Option Switch #2 to the “ON” (down) position. This
enables the “Inducer” light and allows the Energy Manager to control the inducer. Refer to Energy Manager Section
for option switch settings and inducer timing details.
FUEL SYSTEMS
NOTICE: Inspect and if needed, replace oil lines according to local codes. Oil lines must be absolutely airtight. Use only
flared joints on all copper tubing and use thread sealant suitable for oil on all iron pipe threaded joints. Do not use Teflon
tape on fuel system joints. Check all joints and connections for leaks after installation. A high quality fuel filter should be
installed in the fuel line. A high quality UL Listed 10-micron fuel filter is recommended. When changing the fuel filter, be
sure to lubricate cartridge gasket with motor oil, not heating oil.
It is recommended that Frontier systems be equipped with a (optional) fuel filter and a (optional) flexible fuel line. Call
Energy Kinetics to obtain optional UL Listed fuel filter and optional UL Listed flexible fuel line. The flexible fuel line allows
the door to open without disconnecting the fuel supply. The flexible line connects the fuel pump to the Smart Filter. The
fuel filter can be mounted on the right hand side of the tank stand and on the left-hand side for the standard base. A
fusible link shutoff valve should be installed at the inlet of the fuel filter or as required by the authority having jurisdiction.
If the oil supply is three (3) feet or higher than the burner, then an anti-siphon valve (OSV) or pressure regulation valve
(PRV) should be installed.
All piping systems should conform with pump manufacturer’s specifications that are attached to each new pump. The
burner is capable of burning No. 1 or No. 2 heating oil and up to 5% blend of bio-fuel.
CAUTION: DO NOT USE GASOLINE, CRANKCASE DRAININGS, OR ANY OIL CONTAINING GASOLINE.
NOTICE: Order an additional flexible fuel line for two-pipe systems. A two-stage pump is required if lift from oil tank
exceeds approximately six (6) feet. Follow instructions provided by pump manufacturer on single and two pipe
connections for bypass plug usage and other specific installation requirements.
CAUTION: ALWAYS KEEP THE OIL SUPPLY VALVE SHUT OFF IF THE BURNER IS SHUT DOWN FOR AN
EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.
