COMBUSTION AIR SYSTEM
Model: CAS-2A
This product is designed for use on the following burners, for the purpose of routing
combustion air directly to the burner, with the added safety feature of the vacuum relief valve.
NOTE: For burner inputs up to 2.0 GPH at 100 PSI input pressure or equivalent.
“The Air Boot™ model CAS-2A is for use only on the designated burner(s) as described in
these instructions only when the specific burner includes this Air Boot™ when shipped from
the burner manufacturer or where the burner instructions specifically reference the models
CAS-2A Air Boot™ as an optional air intake system.”

THE PURPOSE OF THE VRV
The Vacuum Relief Valve is a safety device to guard against combustion problems associated with directly
connecting oil burners to the outside. Typical problems can be caused by blockage of the intake termination,
icing up of the duct work and effects of leeward side wind effects on a building.
VRV OPERATION
The VRV gate operates on changes in the vacuum pressure generated by the inlet to the oil burner. The VRV
gate will remain closed during normal burner operation. During an abnormal operation (i.e., blockage of the
intake or change in external building pressures) an increased negative pressure on the intake of the burner
causes a reduction in burner air flow. Under this condition, the VRV gate opens, stabilizing and maintaining
proper air flow to the burner. The VRV gate closes again once the abnormal condition is corrected.
INSTALLATION
1. Remove the oil pump and air bands from the
burner housing. Position the Air Boot™ over the
burner housing on the intake. Align the holes in the
Air Boot™ with the holes in the housing and re-
attach the oil pump. (See Figure 1) NOTE: Replace
pump coupling with the coupling supplied with kit.
Mount VRV tee assembly or 90° elbow onto the Air
Boot™ intake. Fasten using three (3) sheet metal
screws on all joints. (See Figure 2)

2. Assemble VRV balance weight onto the gate. Screw the
weight all the way in. Then attach lock nut and knurl
nut. (See Figure 3)
3. Mount the VRV assembly onto the tee and fasten with a
screw and nut in collar tabs. To ensure proper
operation, check the gate for being level across the
pivot points and plumb. (See Figure 4)
4. Refer to Figure 5 for general installation layout.
TERMINATION LOCATION GUIDELINES
1. Mount intake hood 12 inches above finished grade. If
mounting on the side of a building prone to drifting snow,
mount 12 inches above the snow line.
2. Mount at least 12 inches from either side of the vent
termination and on the same wall if sidewall venting.
3. Always mount with the inlet vent termination opening
pointing down.
INLET VENT TERMINATION INSTALLATION
1. Cut a 4-1/4” diameter hole through the sidewall of the
building.
2. Slide the inlet vent pipe through the hole and fasten to the
wall with appropriate fasteners. Seal the edges of the
mounting plate with a silicone sealant or equivalent.
DUCT WORK INSTALLATION
1. Duct length distance, a maximum of 30 linear feet of
standard duct pipe and two (2) 90° elbows. Subtract 7
feet from the maximum linear feet for every 90° elbow
added. Maximum linear footage will be less for flex duct.
Consult flex duct manufacturer for equivalent
lengths.

Longer pipe lengths require the use of a larger pipe between the VRV and the intake hood. It also requires the
use of a vent pipe increaser at the VRV and a reducer at the intake hood. (See Table 1)

*Note: Subtract the elbow or reducer equivalent feet from the maximum equivalent feet to get maximum linear feet of pipe
2. Route the duct work from the VRV tee to the inlet vent termination with as minimum a number of elbows as
possible.
3. Secure and support the duct work for the design and weight of the material used, to prevent physical
damage and separation of joints. For guidelines refer to recognized national building codes or according to
any local codes.
4. To reduce uncontrolled air leakage into the duct, tape all joints and seams using standard duct tape.
NOTE: To prevent sweating on the outside of the duct, when operating in areas that have -10°F or below
design temperatures, insulate the duct work at least 10 feet from the inlet vent termination.
AIR ADJUSTMENT
1. Adjust the air adjustment knob on the side of the Air Boot™ (See Table 2) to rough air setting.

.75 70°
1.00 90°
1.50 135°
2. Start the burner and adjust the air control as needed to achieve the required CO2and smoke levels. Set
over fire draft to appliance manufacturers’ specifications (typically -.02” of water). Secure air control knob
with indicator bracket. If draft levels are not obtainable or controllable, use standard industry methods to
control the draft or call the Field Controls Tech Line at 1-800-742-8368 for more information.
3. Next, adjust the VRV gate by screwing the adjustment weight in until the VRV gate is just closed.
4. Re-check the burners operation and adjust accordingly.
5. Lock the adjustment weight in position by tightening the hex nut on the VRV gate.
