FUEL TANK INSTALLATION
The fuel tank must be purchased separately and installed by a qualified fuel supply technician.
NOTE: Fuel tank installation must comply with National Fire Protection Association Code NFPA 31 or local-
ly applicable codes. Check with local building officials.
The following instructions should be followed for installation of a large capacity, gravity-fed fuel tank.
¡Installation height of tank's fuel outlet should be at least 16 in. above floor surface upon which the water
heater rests.
¡To avoid excess fuel pressure to water heater, the top of fuel tank should be no more than 8-1/2 ft. above
the bottom of the unit.
¡The inlet fuel pressure must not exceed 2.5 PSI. If the inlet pressure exceeds 2.5 PSI, a pressure reducer
(Part #10005099) must be used.
¡Fuel tank should be located at least 6 ft. away from all heat sources.
¡3/8" OD copper tubing should be used for the fuel line.
¡To prevent air locks in the fuel line, the fuel line should be smooth with no inverted U-shaped line or
sharp bends.
¡Install a UL listed fuel filter at the fuel tank outlet. Shut-off valves should also be installed on the fuel line
and connected to the tank as shown below.
NOTE: An additional shut-off valve installed next to the exterior wall will minimize the amount of fuel to be
drained should the water heater need to be disconnected. If the valve is inside the building, a
fusible link type (Part #10005597) is recommended.
1. All external tank must be vented.
2. Install a UL listed fuel filter at the fuel tank outlet.
Specifications required of this fuel filter are as follows:
Type of Fuel: ASTM D3699 1-K Kerosene, ASTM D396 Low Sulfur No.1 Fuel Oil, or ASTM D975 Ultra
Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD).
Rated Filtering Capacity: 2 GPH (Minimum)
3. The fuel supply tank must be positioned as to allow gravity feed to the unit and high enough to reduce
trapped air in the fuel line. Please refer to Section “D”, page 8 in the Operation and Maintenance
Instructions for the procedure to remove trapped air. (✽)
NOTE: If the maximum height is exceeded, a fuel pressure limiting valve is required. Part No.
10005099 has 3/8 in. (N.P.T.) inlet and outlet female opening to accept the fuel line fittings.
NOTE: Fusible Link Valve (#10005597)
¡It is most important that the valve, depending on its use, be fully opened or fully closed.
¡The top nut on the valve (below the turn handle) is sealed and should never be tightened or
removed.
¡When installing fuel lines to the valve, be sure to check for fuel leakage.
¡A LEAKING VALVE SHOULD ALWAYS BE REPLACED.

PLUMBING
COLD AND HOT WATER PLUMBING
WARNING: Plumbing should conform to proper plumbing methods, and in conformance with local codes
or regulations.
A licensed plumber familiar with local codes and ordinances should install the OM-148.
CAUTION: An ANSI listed temperature and pressure relief valve should be installed at the hot water outlet
connection of the heater at the time of installation. Local codes should govern the installation
of the relief devices. See page 6 for a temperature and pressure relief valve specifications.
If a check valve or one-way valve is required on the cold water supply line, it is recommended
that an expansion tank (100 psi, 8 gal Min.) should be installed on the hot water supply line.
When the unit is to be installed as a replacement water heater, it is important to determine
whether a check valve has been installed or not.
Remove the check valve before installation of the unit unless a check valve is required by local
code.
In order to prevent the water heater from being damaged or developing a leak, regardless of
being used in a cold, warm or hot region, the cold water supply piping, hot water supply pip-
ing, drain pipe, check valve, valves, expansion tank, and temperature and pressure relief valve
should be protected with sufficient insulation materials (by wrapping with heat insulation or by
equipping with a freeze prevention heater).
1. A water softener is recommended in regions where hard water may be a concern.
2. Use the following water quality.
3. Do not apply any heat to the unit nipples.

4. Use standard copper alloy unions and nipples for the connections to the unit.
5. Copper piping is recommended for the hot water supply line.
Note: Refer to local codes when considering piping materials. Steel piping is not recommended as it
may cause rust in the piping. Use NPT for piping of hot and cold water.
6. Connecting plumbing to the unit, hold unit fittings securely with a wrench to prevent damage to the
unit.
7. Installation of a water strainer and the air release valve is recommended.
8. The distance between the water heater and places where hot water is used should be as short and direct
as possible, and a uniform pipe size of sufficient diameter to carry the full capacity of hot water should
be used.
9. Be sure to connect the water inlet and the hot water outlet as shown on the water heater. Reversing the
two connections will damage the unit.
10. When hot water flows through the supply line there is an inevitable heat loss, regardless of type of
water heater. Thus, insulation or protection of hot water piping is encouraged.
11. Flush the piping before connecting to the unit.

INSTALLATION OF FLUE PIPE
IMPORTANT: Check and comply with all state and local codes that may apply to water heater before begin-
ning installation.
1. Select unit location. Allow clearances as indicated above between the unit and all other materials
2. Make sure that the outside area to where the flue pipe will reach is clear of any objects.
NOTE: For wall thickness greater than 10-1/2 inches, a flue pipe extension is available. See page 2 for
details. Flue pipe can be installed through any standard building materials. Please ask your
local dealer or distributor for more details.
3. For standard installation, position the hole for the flue pipe.
NOTE: The water heater should be installed on a sturdy floor that is level and flat.
4. Cut the hole for the flue pipe from inside the room. Use a 4-3/4" diameter hole saw attached to an elec-
tric drill. The opening on the inside wall should be slightly higher than the outside opening (approxi-
mately 1/4") so that the flue pipe will slope slightly downward (approximately 3 degrees) after it is
installed. This will enable condensed moisture to drain from the flue pipe to the outside and prevent
rain or snow from entering from outside after installation.
5. Install the inner flange and the flange gasket to the inner flue pipe and insert the inner flue pipe through
the wall hole from inside the room. Make sure the arrow on the inner flange is pointing up and secure
the securing band with a screw and a nut through two holes of the fixing band. Secure the inner flue
pipe to the wall with the four screws provided with the unit.
6. Install the flange gasket to the outer flue pipe. Secure the outer flue pipe to the wall by turning it clock-
wise. This locks the two halves together.
NOTE: Make sure to secure the outer flue pipe well.
7. Insert the flexible exhaust pipe to the flexible bent joint until it locks. Insert the flexible bent joint to the
exhaust opening of the inner flue pipe until it locks.
NOTE: The flexible exhaust pipe and flexible bent joint have claws to prevent them from being sepa-
rated. When connecting them, raise the claws a little.
These claws may be raised already depending on production lots. If this is the case, insert them
as they are. Do not attempt to draw a pipe off in any event while the claw is raised. Otherwise,
it could leak the exhaust gas.

8. Slide the insulating cloth cover over the flexible exhaust pipe and the flexible bent joint.
9. Remove the screw from the exhaust opening of the unit. Insert the flexible exhaust pipe to the exhaust
opening and secure them with the screw.
NOTE: Seal all connections of the pipes with the aluminum tape.
CAUTION: ¡Do not attempt to insert the exhaust pipe forcibly.
¡If O-ring is damaged, it could cause the leakage of exhaust gas.
¡If the exhaust pipe is inserted after raising the claw, the pipe is locked in position with the
claw so that the pipe will become unable to remove.
¡If it is attempted to remove forcibly, the exhaust pipe may be broken.

This unit is a sealed combustion system and as an installation option it may be connected
directly to a chimney. Using this option, room air is used for combustion and the exhaust gases
are vented into the chimney to the outside.
IMPORTANT:
1. This appliance should be installed by a licensed, authorized person(s) due to necessity of
making electrical, water and fuel connections. Check local codes and ordinances and/or the latest
edition of the National Fire Protection Association Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning
Equipment. NFPA-31.
2. A Barometric Draft Regulator must be used in the exhaust pipe to stabilize flue draft. It is required
that a UL-listed (Underwriters Laboratories) damper be used. The Barometric Draft Regulator must
be installed in accordance with NFPA-31.
3. Installation in an unconfined space in buildings of conventional frame, brick or stone construction,
infiltration normally is adequate to provide air for combustion and ventilation.
For confined spaces, openings for air intake and venting must be provided. (See Fig.1.)
Check local codes and ordinances and/or NFPA-31 Code for specific details.
4. It is recommended that the OM-148 hot water heater be connected to an independent chimney flue.
CAUTION:
1. In case another appliance is connected to the same chimney flue (2 or more units), it may be necessary
to comply with state and local codes. Check with your local dealer or licensed installer.
2.
Connecting the OM-148 hot water heater with two or more appliances using the same chimney flue may
affect the performance of the hot water heater. Check with your dealer for other installation options.
3. Total length of the exhaust pipe and the chimney liner must be no greater than 25 ft. Maintain the shortest
piping possible by selecting a location as close as posssible to the chimney.
NOTE:
1. To prevent against exhaust leaks, make sure all connections are properly fitted and seal connection with
aluminum tape or heat resistant sealing material.
2. A 5-inch or 4-inch diameter exhaust pipe is used for a chimney installation. To prevent injury due to the
hot surface of the exhaust pipe, be sure to wrap the exhaust pipe with a heat insulator material.
3. For a chimney installation, use accessory (option) parts.
