Yes, two fire valves are generally required for an oil fired vaporising range cooker installations. One for the protection of the cooker and one for the protection of the oil float control valve. Cooker installations that also incorporate an oil lifter would require a third remote acting fire valve. (see OFTEC Technical Book 3 2010) Your local OFTEC Registered Technician would be able to advise on the most appropriate protection methods for the installation.
