How do you hook up an oil furnace to an existing furnace?
To hook up your new oil furnace on an existing oil furnace set-up you will simply want to connect the fuel line to the unit once you have it secured in place. During the initial positioning of the new furnace, take into account which direction the various hook-ups are facing and try and line them up to the old lines as closely as possible.
How does an oil-fired furnace work?
The heating cycle for an oil-fired furnace begins when the thermostat senses a drop in the temperature and the need to generate heat. This causes the activation of the burner motor that pulls heating oil from a storage tank. The tank may be located aboveground on the inside or outside of your home, or possibly buried underneath the ground.
How should I line up my furnace hook-ups?
During the initial positioning of the new furnace, take into account which direction the various hook-ups are facing and try and line them up to the old lines as closely as possible.

The oil breaks up and vaporizes as it passes through a nozzle, which enables it to be ignited by the spark. After a brief delay to allow the heat exchanger to warm up, the furnace’s blower motor draws in air that is heated as it passes over the heat exchanger.

How do I connect a compression fitting to a furnace?
Connect the supply line to the compression fitting and oil filter. Position the supply line so it runs along the perimeter of any walls. This will help prevent the line from being damaged. The supply line should have a protective covering. Grooved, polyethylene-coated copper piping is a good choice. The supply line will run directly to the furnace.
How do you hook up a two line oil tank?
The two-line system is most commonly used in underground oil tanks or tanks located lower than the furnaces oil burner. You can hook up a two-line system with a few tools and basic mechanical skills. Install a threaded duplex bushing into the fuel inlet hole at the top of the oil tank.
