5.0 Burner General
5.1 The combination burner shall be of the forced draft annular port flame retention type suitable for burning natural or manufactured gas and air atomizing burning No. 2 oil. The burner shall burn the specified quantity of fuel without objectionable vibrations, noise, or pulsation with no CO in the products of combustion. The burner shall meet < ppm Nox while firing on natural gas utilizing flue gas recirculation technology. The burner shall be factory installed and wired, shall bear the listing mark of Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. evidencing compliance with the requirements of the UL‑796 for gas burners and UL‑296 for oil burners. The entire boiler and burner shall be factory fire tested prior to shipment with a copy of the fire test being supplied to the owner.
