WARNING
All information in this manual is for
reference and guidance purposes,
and does not substitute for required
professional training, conduct,
and strict adherence to applicable
jurisdictional/professional codes and
regulations.
DO NOT USE GASOLINE, CRANKCASE
OIL OR ANY OIL CONTAINING
GASOLINE. If in doubt, contact
your Fulton representative prior to
operation.
Do not store or use gasoline or other
fl ammable vapors and liquids or
corrosive materials in the vicinity of
this or any other appliances. Cements
for plastic pipe should be kept away
from all sources of ignition. Proper
ventilation should be maintained to
reduce the hazard and to minimize
breathing of cement vapors.
Damage to the pump seal will occur
immediately if it is run with the return
line closed and the by-pass screw
inserted.
The minimum return water
temperature to the boiler is 160 F
(71 C) when fi ring on oil. Failure to
maintain this will void the warranty.
If the water supply must be
temporarily disconnected from the
condensate drain trap, the boilers
must be turned off to prevent
accidental fl ue gas emission into the
boiler room.
 Ð
CAUTION
An uninterruptible water supply is
required and shall be connected to the
¼” (U.S. only) compression fi tting on
the condensate drain. The water supply
maintains a water level in the drain kit
to prevent accidental fl ue gas emission
into the boiler room.
12 feet (3.65 m).
8. (U.S. Only) Attach a ¼” water supply to the compression fi tting on the
fl oat. The water line must be connected to an uninterruptible supply.
Fulton recommends connecting it before the “fast fi ll” valve to the
boiler supply but after the back fl ow preventer to avoid contamination
of a potable water supply. Maximum allowable water pressure to the
compression fi tting is 100 PSI (689.5 kPa).
Install pH Neutralization Kit
The pH Neutralization Kit is a Fulton-provided kit designed to bring the pH level
of the boiler’s condensate to a neutral level. It is not a replacement or alternative
for the Condensate Drain Trap. See Figure 6.
Adhere to the following for installation:
1. Use stainless or galvanized pipe and fi ttings to connect condensate drain
to kit.
2. Connect kit downstream of Condensate Drain Trap. See Figure 7.
3. Pipe outlet to appropriate drain.
NOTE:

Replacement bags are available from the Fulton Parts Department.
The medium in the container will neutralize the condensate of 12 MM Btu’s
for approximately 6 months.
Install Oil Piping
 Oil Piping (For Dual Fuel Boilers with the Riello Burner)
Adhere to the following for dual fuel boilers with the Riello Burner (see Figure 8):
1. The Vantage dual fuel boiler is suitable for fi ring light distillate fuel oil,
commonly known as #2 fuel oil only. DO NOT USE GASOLINE, CRANKCASE
OIL OR ANY OIL CONTAINING GASOLINE. If in doubt, contact your Fulton
representative prior to operation.
2. Fuel pipes must be of approved materials and of a diameter suitable for the
quantity of oil being delivered to the burner and the static head available.
A stop valve and fi re valve assembly should be supplied by the client/
contractor. In addition a check valve must be fi tted into the return pipe.
3. Be sure to install a foot valve as indicated in Figure 8. The foot valve is a
check valve for the oil line between the oil pump on the boiler and the
supply tank. The foot valve keeps the oil line charged at all times.
4. The maximum pressure allowed at the fuel oil pump inlet is limited to 3
PSIG (20.68 kPa) by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). If the
fuel supply can exceed this maximum, a regulator must be installed. The
minimum pressure at the pump inlet should never exceed 10” of vacuum.
5. The oil pump (Figure 9) on the Vantage boiler is a SUNTEC model AJ4CC
