Can they be installed outside in the weather year round?

    You shouldn't. You don't want the oil to freeze in the bowl, otherwise it will create a huge mess. Keep in mind, any moisture in the fuel will freeze @ 32° and bio gels higher than regular heating oil.
    Why do you want to install one outside?
    More important question, why do you want/need one at all?

    I did see an install manual for a European boiler where they the oil deaerator was pictured outside, but that just seems wrong.

    Rated minimum temperature is 20°. I'd bet it's even higher if you are using a higher bio blend.

    Another thing to remember is by code, when an oil line enters the home, it is required to have a firomatic valve installed.
    The Tigerloop specifically states not to install any valves between the Tigerloop and the fuel pump.
    So one way or another, outside is wrong.

    There was an error rendering this rich post.
