Oil filter for Oil-fired Boiler

Shaun Anderson

Where can I find such a creature ? Out here in Colorado I don't see much oil burners. Off a Well-McClain boiler. I already found replacement burner, blast tube, nozzle, but just need a oil filter to complete order.

thanks

Looks like someone finally tried it

Is that a water filter being used for oil ?

I gotta say , if it is a true oil filer , the clear casing is a great idea .

Shaun Anderson

Beats me ???

I don't really run into oil boilers but thats why I come here. All you fellow wallies back east see it more than us. What do you requemend I sell to my contractor ? My competition says they can't help me out on that. All parts are through Beckett and they won't sell to me. Thats why I need to call a competitor but they don't have a clue on what type of oil filer my contractor needs.

Well ...

there's good , which is a General oil filter at the burner itself , which we do .

Then there's what's called triple filtration which is best - a high Micron filter at the oil tank to catch the big particles , followed by an empty filter cannister used as a " sludge pot " , followed by a lower micron filter at the oil burner ( George Lanthier takes the credit for this setup ) .

As to where you can buy this stuff , I'm not sure . Maybe someone else can point you in the right direction . Good luck " The Future " .

agree with Ron

I love George's set up and use it at my house. At minimum I would put in a FB-4 filter or check into a Garber filter. I would also recommend you sleeve the oil line for protection and try and support everything in some way....That and curious, but do you have a firomatic at the tank and burner?

Is that?

Is that an oil line below the filter? Is it two pipe? That looks a lot like a stop and waste valve and has no business being there.

Beckett makes burners , not oil filters, so any oil filter would be from some one else. Do you have a Graingers? or some other mail order or online place? Sid Harvey, RE Michal, Barnetts ?

It looks plastic, is it approved or listed for oil? Gotta' be a name on it somewhere. Good luck. If you don't make out my supply house in Connecticut will UPS anywhere in the world, got plastic?

Filter

I would go to your local farm supply srore and you will find a fuel filter to fit that filter. Looks like standard fuel transfer filter.

Filters

It looks like a truck or tractor fuel filter to me, which is OK. Try a farm eqipment or truck supplier. Those valves don't look proper to me. Get something better like a Fireomatic valve. I prefer a dual filter myself. A General #77 or #99 and Garber or Westwood high efficiency filters in series. I don't know if they carry these in CO, but a plumbing and heating supply house should be able to order them if not stock items. In a pinch, Wix spin on fuel filters they use on diesel trucks will work well with the proper adapters. Get the largest capacity in line kit as possible from a farm, truck or automotive supplier. Maybe you can order standard burner parts by mail or electronically from a supplier such as Sid Harvey's. They are headquartered in Valley Stream, NY. Hope this helps.

Oil filter

Hi
Ive seen a glass bowl oil filter and do not regularly use them. I think the make is an Oventrop, They came with
a Viessman or some other Euro boiler.
Good Luck in your search
sorry I have no more info except if you replace the whole
assembly GarBer Oil filters 11BvR are fantastic and easy to change and filter down to 10 microns, double filtration
is always recomended on old stuff

Tiger loop combo

find a general filter and a tiger loop combo ....done every day . using a canister without a filter helps as an added measure of protection on lines that travel in open atmosphere some distance prior to arriving at the burner..an osv is also a suggestion that you need to be at least need to be made aware...what it does is basially maintain a steady state of delivery. and one other point of interest is a positive shut off with an oil solenoid.
