or it can be ducted directly to the unit from the outside.  
Proper ventilation air must be provided in either case.  
Note: Check with louver manufacturers for net free area of  
louvers. Correct for screen resistance to the net free area  
if a screen is installed. Check all local codes applicable to  
combustion air.  
2.1.1 Combustion Air From Room  
In the United States, the most common  
requirements specify that the space shall communicate  
with the outdoors in accordance with method 1 or 2,  
which follow. Where ducts are used, they shall be of  
the same cross-sectional area as the free area of the  
openings to which they connect.  
Table 3. Combustion Air Openings.  
Method 1: Two permanent openings, one  
commencing within 12 inches (30 cm) of the top  
and one commencing within 12 inches (30 cm) of  
the bottom, of the enclosure shall be provided. The  
openings shall communicate directly, or by ducts,  
with the outdoors or spaces that freely communicate  
with the outdoors. When directly communicating  
with the outdoors, or when communicating to the  
outdoors through vertical ducts, each opening shall  
have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4000  
Btu/hr (5.5 square cm/kW) of total input rating of all  
equipment in the enclosure. When communicating to  
the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening  
shall have a minimum free area of not less than  
1 square inch per 2000 Btu/hr (11 square cm/kW) of  
total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure.

vertical vent system does not satisfy the criteria for  
Category I venting, it must be vented as a Category III  
system.  
All Brute Deluxe vent systems which discharge  
horizontally (without the use of a power venter) are  
considered Category III vent systems.  
2.1.2 Intake Combustion Air  
The combustion air can be taken through the  
wall, or through the roof. When taken from the wall,  
it must be taken from out-of-doors by means of the  
Bradford White horizontal wall terminal (see Table 1).  
When taken from the roof, a field-supplied rain cap or  
an elbow arrangement must be used to prevent entry of  
rain water (see Figure 2).  
2.2.2 Category I Vent  
When vented as a Category I appliance, the  
vent system must conform to the National Fuel Gas  
Code (ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition) in the U.S., or in  
Canada, to the Natural Gas and Propane Installation  
Code (CSA B149.1 latest edition). The vent system  
must be sized and installed for a Category I Fan-  
Assisted Appliance.  
If chimney height is greater than 25 feet, or  
if multiple units are vented into the same vertical  
vent, a barometric damper must be installed on each  
appliance, such that the flue draft does not exceed  
(negative) 0.1 in. w.c.  
Use single-wall galvanized pipe, per Table  
4, for the combustion air intake (see Table 1 for  
appropriate size). Route the intake to the heater as  
directly as possible. Seal all joints with tape. Provide  
adequate hangers. The unit must not support the  
weight of the combustion air intake pipe. Maximum  
linear pipe length allowed is 50 feet (15.2m). Three  
elbows have been calculated into the 50-foot (15.2m)  
linear run. Subtract 10 allowable linear feet (3.0m) for  
every additional elbow used (see Table 1). When fewer  
than 3 elbows are used, the maximum linear pipe  
length allowed is still 50 feet (15.2m).  
If using a power venter for any type of Category  
I venting, the draft should be set between (negative)  
0.01 and 0.05 in. w.c.

2.2.3 Common Venting Systems  
Joint Sealing Permanent duct tape or aluminum tape  
Brute Deluxe units are Category I fan-assisted  
when vented vertically and adhering to all applicable  
codes. Brute Deluxe units are not allowed to be  
vented into a common horizontal vent system, unless  
a properly sized vent fan is used, and the common  
vent system is properly designed by the vent fan  
manufacturer or a qualified engineer. When common  
venting Brute Deluxe fan-assisted unit with other  
appliances through one shared vertical duct called a  
“common vent”, special care must be taken by the  
installer to ensure safe operation. In the event that  
the common vent is blocked, it is possible, especially  
for fan-assisted devices, to vent backwards through  
non-operating appliances sharing the vent, allowing  
combustion products to infiltrate occupied spaces.  
If the appliances are allowed to operate in this  
condition, serious injury or death may occur.  
Table 4. Required Combustion Air Piping Material.  
The connection for the intake air pipe is on the  
filter box. The Brute Deluxe appliances may have  
venting and combustion air ducting attached to the top  
or the back. They are shipped with the connections  
at the top. For attaching either or both pipes to the  
back, the mounting flanges are reversible by removing  
the mounting screws and orienting the flanges in the  
desired position. Replace the screws after positioning  
flanges. Run a bead of silicone around the collar and  
slide the pipe over the collar. Secure with sheet metal  
screws.  
In addition to air needed for combustion, air  
shall also be supplied for ventilation, including all air  
required for comfort and proper working conditions  
for personnel. The Brute Deluxe loses less than 1  
percent of its input rating to the room, but other heat  
sources may be present.  
WARNING  
Operation of appliances with a blocked common  
vent may lead to serious injury or death. Safety  
devices must be implemented to prevent blocked  
common vent operation. If safe operation of all  
appliances connected to a common vent cannot  
be assured, including prevention of spillage of flue  
gasses into living spaces, common venting should  
not be applied, and appliances should each be  
vented separately.  
2.2 Venting  
2.2.1 Vent Categories  
Depending upon desired Brute Deluxe venting,  
it may be considered a Category I or a Category III  
appliance. In general, a vertical vent system will be  
a Category I system. However, in rare instances, a  
Brute Deluxe’s vertical vent system may be considered  
Category III. In the U.S., the National Fuel Gas Code  
(ANSI Z223.1), or in Canada the Natural Gas and  
Propane Installation Code (CSA B149.1), defines a  
Category I vent system, and includes rules and tables  
to size these vent systems. If the Brute Deluxe’s

as required in the venting system manufacturer’s  
installation instructions. Horizontal portions of the  
venting system must be supported to prevent sagging  
and may not have any low sections that could trap  
condensate.  
The unit must not support the weight of the vent  
pipe. Horizontal runs must slope downwards not less  
than ¼ inch per foot (2 cm/m) from the unit to the vent  
terminal.  
L’appareil ne doit pas supporter le poids de la  
gaine d’évent. Les parties horizontales doivent être  
installées avec une pente de 2 cm/m (1/4 inch par pied)  
descendant de l’appareil vers la sortie de l’évent.  
Reference Table 1 for the size of the Category  
III vent system. Up to three elbows can be used with  
50 linear feet (15.2m) of pipe. Subtract 10 allowable  
linear feet (3.0m) for every additional elbow used.

être mis en place et les appareils doivent être munis  
d’évents individuels séparés.  
It is for this reason that, in addition to  
following proper vent sizing, construction and safety  
requirements from the National Fuel Gas Code,  
ANSI Z223.1 or in Canada, from the Natural Gas  
and Propane Installation Code (CSA B149.1) as  
well as all applicable local codes, it is required that  
installers provide some means to prevent operation  
with a blocked common vent. It is suggested that a  
blocked vent safety system be employed such that if  
the switch from one appliance trips due to excessive  
stack spill or back pressure indicating a blocked vent  
condition, that all appliances attached to the vent be  
locked out and prevented from operating. Note that  
the Brute Deluxe is equipped with a blocked vent  
safety (pressure) switch, as shipped. However, this  
safety switch has only been designed and tested to  
be effective in installations where the Brute Deluxe  
is vented separately and NOT common vented with  
other appliances. As an additional precaution, it is  
recommended that a Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm be  
installed in all enclosed spaces containing combustion  
appliances. If assistance is required in determining  
how a blocked vent safety system should be connected  
to a Bradford White product, please call Applications  
Engineering at the Rochester phone number on the  
back cover of this manual.  
2.3 Locating Vent & Combustion Air  
Terminals  
2.3.1 Side Wall Vent Terminal  
The appropriate Bradford White side wall vent  
terminal must be used, and is listed in the installation  
and operation manual. The terminal provides a means  
of installing the vent piping through the building wall,  
and must be located in accordance with ANSI Z223.1/  
NFPA 54 and applicable local codes. In Canada, the  
installation must be in accordance with CSA B149.1  
and local applicable codes. Consider the following  
when installing the terminal:  
1. Figure 3 shows the requirements for mechanical  
vent terminal clearances for the U.S. and Canada.  
2. Locate the vent terminal so that vent gases cannot  
be drawn into air conditioning system inlets.  
3. Locate the vent terminal so that vent gases cannot  
enter the building through doors, windows,  
gravity inlets or other openings. Whenever  
possible, locations under windows or near doors  
should be avoided.  
4. Locate the vent terminal so that it cannot be  
blocked by snow. The installer may determine  
that a vent terminal must be higher than the  
minimum shown in codes, depending upon local  
conditions.  
5. Locate the terminal so the vent exhaust does  
not settle on building surfaces or other nearby  
objects. Vent products may damage such surfaces  
or objects.  
Refer to the installation and operating  
instructions on all appliances to be common vented  
for instructions, warnings, restrictions and safety  
requirements. If safe operation of all appliances  
connected to a common vent cannot be assured,  
including prevention of spillage of flue gases into  
living spaces, common venting should not be applied,  
and appliances should each be vented separately.

2.4 Common Vent Test — Boilers  
When an existing boiler is removed from a  
common venting system, the common venting system  
is likely to be too large for proper venting of the  
appliances remaining connected to it.  
At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the  
following steps shall be followed with each appliance  
remaining connected to the common venting system  
placed in operation, while the other appliances  
remaining connected to the common venting system  
are not in operation.  
(e) A copy of all installation instructions for all  
Product Approved side wall horizontally  
vented gas fueled equipment, all venting  
instructions, all parts lists for venting  
instructions, and/or all venting design  
instructions shall remain with the appliance  
or equipment at the completion of the  
installation.  
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting  
system.  
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper  
size and horizontal pitch and determine there is  
non blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion  
and other deficiencies which could cause an  
unsafe condition.  
3. Insofar as it is practical, close all building doors  
and windows and all doors between the space in  
which the appliances remaining connected to the  
common venting system are located and other  
spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers  
and any appliance not connected to the common  
venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such  
as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they  
will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a  
summer exhaust fan. Close fireplace dampers.  
4. Place in operation the appliance being  
inspected. Follow the lighting instructions.  
Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate  
continuously.  
2.3.2 Side Wall Combustion Air Terminal  
The Bradford White side wall combustion air  
terminal (listed in Table 1) must be used when the  
unit takes its combustion air through a duct from a  
side wall. Consider the following when installing the  
terminal:  
1. Do not locate the air inlet terminal near a source  
of corrosive chemical fumes (e.g., cleaning fluid,  
chlorinated compounds, etc.)  
2. Locate the terminal so that it will not be subject  
to damage by accident or vandalism.  
3. Locate the combustion air terminal so that it  
cannot be blocked by snow. The National Fuel  
Gas Code requires that it be at least 12 inches (30  
cm) above grade, but the installer may determine  
it should be higher, depending upon local  
conditions.  
4. If the Brute Deluxe is side-wall vented to the  
same wall, locate the vent terminal at least 3  
feet (0.9m) horizontally from the combustion air  
terminal, and locate the vent terminal at least 1  
foot (0.3m) above the combustion air terminal  
(see Figure 3).  
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening  
after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use  
the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a  
cigarette, cigar or pipe.

less than 0.5 psig (3.45 kpa).  
3.1 Gas Supply and Piping  
Gas piping should be supported by suitable  
hangers or floor stands, not by the appliance.  
The Brute Deluxe’s gas train allows the user to  
pipe the gas from either the right side or the left side  
of the unit. As shipped, the right side of the gas train is  
capped off, and there is a manual valve on the left side.  
If desired, the manual valve on the left side of the gas  
train may be moved to the right side, and the cap on  
the right side may be moved to the left.  
10. The appliance and its gas connection must be  
leak tested before placing it in operation.  
11. Purge all air from gas lines.  
WARNING  
Do not use open flame to check for leaks. An open  
flame could lead to explosion, which could result in  
property damage, serious injury or death.  
Review the following instructions before  
proceeding with the installation.  
1. Verify that the appliance is fitted for the proper  
type of gas by checking the rating plate. Brute  
Deluxe appliances are equipped to operate at  
elevations up to 10,000 feet (3050m). Brute  
Deluxe appliances may be adjusted to operate  
properly at altitudes above 2500 feet (see Section  
6.5.2) and the input will be reduced if the heating  
value of the gas supply is below sea level values.  
2. The maximum inlet gas pressure must not  
exceed 13" w.c. (3.2kPa). The minimum inlet gas  
pressure is 5 in. w.c. (1.2 kPa).  
3. Refer to Table 7, size supply.  
4. Run gas supply line in accordance with all  
applicable codes.  
5. Locate and install manual shutoff valves in  
accordance with state and local requirements.  
6. A sediment trap must be provided upstream of  
the gas controls.  
AVERTISSEMENT  
Ne recherchez pas les fuites avec une flamme nue.  
Une flamme nue peut provoquer une explosion qui  
peut causer des dommages matériels, de sérieuses  
blessures corporelles ou la mort.  
NOTE: The Brute Deluxe appliance and all other  
gas appliances sharing the gas supply line must  
be firing at maximum capacity to properly measure  
the inlet supply pressure. The pressure can be  
measured at the supply pressure port on the gas  
valve. Low gas pressure could be an indication of  
an undersized gas meter, undersized gas supply  
lines and/or an obstructed gas supply line.  
7. All threaded joints should be coated with  
piping compound resistant to action of liquefied  
petroleum gas.

4A.3 Water Flow Requirements — Boiler  
A hydronic heating (closed loop) application  
recirculates the same fluid in the piping system. As a  
result, no new minerals or oxygen are introduced into  
the system. To ensure a proper operating temperature  
leading to long boiler life, a flow rate has been  
established based on the fluid temperature rise for this  
specific size boiler.  
Pump-mounted boilers can be ordered for use in  
primary secondary piping systems. The pumps used  
are sized for the head loss through the heater, plus 30  
feet (9.1 m) of full-sized piping (same size as boiler  
outlet) and a normal number of fittings.  
Table 8 specifies water flow rates for boilers,  
which will enable the user to size a pump. The head  
loss shown is for the heater only, and the user will  
need to add the head loss of the system piping to  
properly size the pump.  
The minimum inlet water temperature for the  
Brute Deluxe is 120°F (49°C) to avoid condensing on  
the copper coils.  
SECTION 4A.  
Water Connections —  
Brute Deluxe Boiler  
4A.1 Heating System Piping:  
Hot Supply Connections — Boiler  
NOTE: This appliance must be installed in a closed  
pressure system with a minimum of 12 psig (82.7  
kPa) static pressure at the boiler.  
Hot water piping should be supported by suitable  
hangers or floor stands. Do not support piping with  
this appliance. Due to expansion and contraction of  
copper pipe, consideration should be given to the type  
of hangers used. Rigid hangers may transmit noise  
through the system resulting from the piping sliding in  
the hangers. It is recommended that padding be used  
when rigid hangers are installed. Maintain 1" clearance  
to combustibles for hot water pipes.  
Pipe the discharge of the relief valve (full size)  
to a drain or in a manner to prevent injury in the event  
of pressure relief. Install an air purger, an air vent,  
a diaphragm-type expansion tank, and a hydronic  
flow check in the system supply loop. Minimum fill  
pressure must be 12 psig (82.7 kPa). Install shutoff  
valves where required by code.  
4A.4 Freeze Protection — Boiler  
Boiler installations are not recommended in  
areas where the danger of freezing exists unless proper  
precautions are made for freeze protection. A non  
toxic, heating system, anti-freeze may be added to  
the hydronic system provided that the concentration  
does not exceed 50% and the anti freeze contains an  
anti foamant. When a 50/50 mixture is used, increase  
the water flow requirements by 15%, and increase the  
head loss requirements by 20%.  
Suggested piping diagrams are shown in Figures  
4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. These diagrams are meant only as a  
guide. Components required by local codes must be  
properly installed.  
4A.2 Cold Water Make-Up — Boiler  
1. Connect the cold water supply to the inlet  
connection of an automatic fill valve.  
Power outage, interruption of gas supply, failure  
of system components, activation of safety devices,  
etc., may prevent a boiler from firing. Any time a  
boiler is subjected to freezing conditions, and the  
boiler is not able to fire, and/or the water is not able  
to circulate, there is a risk of freezing in the boiler  
or in the pipes in the system. When water freezes,  
it expands. This can result in bursting of pipes in the  
system, or damage to the boiler, which could result in  
leaking or flooding conditions.  
IMPORTANT NOTES: Different glycol products  
may provide varying degrees of protection. Glycol  
products must be maintained properly in a heating  
system, or they may become ineffective. Consult  
the glycol specifications, or the glycol manufacturer,  
for information about specific products,  
2. Install a suitable back flow preventer between the  
automatic fill valve and the cold water supply.  
3. Install shut off valves where required.  
NOTE: The boiler, when used in connection with a  
refrigeration system, must be installed so the chilled  
medium is piped in parallel with the boiler with  
appropriate valves to prevent the chilled medium  
from entering the boiler.  
The boiler piping system of a hot water heating  
boiler connected to heating coils located in air  
handling appliances where they may be exposed to  
refrigerated air circulation must be equipped with flow  
control valves or other automatic means to prevent  
gravity circulation of the boiler water during the  
cooling cycle.  
A boiler installed above radiation level, or as  
required by the authority having jurisdiction, must be  
provided with a low water cutoff device either as a part  
of the boiler or at the time of boiler installation.

SECTION 4B.  
Water Connections —  
Brute Deluxe Water Heater  
If the Brute Deluxe water heater is installed in  
a closed water supply system, such as one having a  
backflow preventer in the cold water supply line, the  
relief valve may discharge periodically, due to thermal  
expansion. Means (such as a properly-sized expansion  
tank) shall be provided to control thermal expansion.  
Contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector  
on how to control this situation.  
4B.1 Water System Piping —  
Water Heater  
Hot water piping should be supported by suitable  
hangers or floor stands. Do not support piping with  
this appliance. Due to expansion and contraction of  
copper pipe, consideration should be given to the type  
of hangers used. Rigid hangers may transmit noise  
through the system resulting from the piping sliding in  
the hangers. It is recommended that padding be used  
when rigid hangers are installed.  
4B.3 Water Flow Requirements —  
Water Heater  
In a water heating application (an open system),  
new water is constantly being introduced. With the  
new water comes a fresh supply of minerals that can  
be deposited on the unit’s heat exchanger. This is  
commonly known as scaling. The amount of minerals  
will depend upon the hardness of the water. Water can  
also be aggressive, and can erode metals, including  
copper, if the water is moved too quickly. The water  
flow requirements for the Brute Deluxe water heater  
are based upon the hardness of the water. The water  
flow is kept high enough to prevent scaling, but low  
enough to prevent tube erosion. For extremely soft or  
hard water, cupro-nickel tubes are available. Contact a  
Bradford White representative if you have questions or  
concerns about water quality.  
The Brute Deluxe can be used with several  
different types of readily available storage tanks. A  
pump draws water from the storage tank and pumps  
the water through the heater and back into the tank.  
Pump-mounted units have a circulating pump built  
into the water heater. The pumps used are sized for  
the head loss through the heater, plus 30 feet (9.1 m)  
of full-sized piping (same size as boiler outlet) and  
a normal number of fittings. Pumps used on pump-  
mounted unit are sized for soft/normal or hard water,  
so make sure a pump-mounted unit matches the water  
quality of the installation.  
Pipe the outlet from the heater’s relief valve  
such that any discharge from the relief valve will be  
conducted to a suitable place for disposal when relief  
occurs. Do not reduce line size or install any valves in  
this line. The line must be installed to allow complete  
drainage of both the valve and the line.  
Pump-mounted water heaters can be ordered  
with standard pumps for soft or normal water or with  
pumps for hard water. The pumps used are sized for  
the head loss through the heater, plus 30 feet (9.1m)  
of full-sized piping (same size as heater outlet) and a  
normal number of fittings.  
Suggested piping diagrams are shown in Figures  
9, 10, 11 and 12. These diagrams are meant only as a  
guide. Components required by local codes must be  
properly installed.  
Table 9 specifies water flow rates for water  
heaters, which will enable the user to size a pump. The  
head loss shown is for the heater only, and the user  
will need to add the head loss of the piping system to  
properly size the pump.  
Note the recommended location of the  
temperature sensor on the diagrams. The Brute Deluxe  
is shipped with an additional sensor that can be used  
for more full-featured domestic water heating control.  
To get these features, you must provide a location for  
the additional sensor. It can be strapped to a pipe from  
1" to 4" diameter, or inserted into a tank immersion  
well.  
4B.4 Combined Water Heating (potable)  
and Space Heating — Water Heater  
NOTE: These systems are not allowed in the  
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.  
The minimum inlet water temperature for the  
Brute Deluxe is 120°F (49°C) to avoid condensing on  
the copper coils.  
Piping and components connected to this water  
heater for the space heating application shall be  
suitable for use with potable water.  
Toxic chemicals, such as used for boiler  
treatment, shall not be introduced into the potable  
water used for space heating.  
This water heater when used to supply potable  
water shall not be connected to any heating system  
or component(s) previously used with a non-potable  
water heating appliance.  
When the system requires water for heating at  
temperatures higher than required for other uses,  
an anti-scald mixing or tempering valve shall be  
4B.2 Hot Water Supply Piping —  
Water Heater  
Follow the tank manufacturer’s guidelines for  
completion of the hot water system connections.  
NOTE: A listed temperature and pressure relief  
valve listed as complying with the Standard  
for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff  
Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems (ANSI  
Z21.22/CSA 4.4), of suitable discharge capacity

to reduce scald hazard potential.  
heater is subjected to freezing conditions, and the  
heater is not able to fire, and/or the water is not  
able to circulate, there is a risk of freezing in the  
heater or in the pipes in the system. When water  
freezes, it expands. This can result in bursting of pipes  
in the system, or damage to the heater, which could  
result in leaking or flooding conditions.  
4B.5 Freeze Protection — Water Heater  
Although Brute Deluxe water heaters are design-  
certified for outdoor installations, such installations  
are not recommended in areas subject to freezing  
temperatures, unless proper precautions are taken.  
Power outage, interruption of gas supply, failure  
of system components, activation of safety devices,  
etc., may prevent a heater from firing. Any time a

To connect the pump, crimp the two spade  
5.2 Field Wiring  
connectors to the black (hot) and white (neutral) pump  
wires (as shown in pump diagram, Figure 14). The  
other end of the pump wired needs to be connected  
to the boiler's 110V legs using the existing wire nuts  
(located in the transformer cover box). Also note  
the transformer cover box is removed by lifting the  
retaining tab (on the left side of the box) up and out of  
the retaining slot, and sliding the box to the left until it  
stops, before raising it straight up.  
Other Field Interlocks: To install other field-  
wired switches (proving switches, flow switches, etc.),  
remove the jumper between the terminals labeled “3”  
and “4” (see Figure 13)  
Field Installed Pump: A pump contactor can be  
wired to the “2” and “4” terminals on the pump time  
delay relay, attached to dry contacts of an adjustable  
delay. The contacts may be used to switch a larger  
pump contactor or can be used to directly switch the  
hot leg of a circulator pump, up to 1 hp at 120 VAC or  
3/4 hp at 240 VAC.  
Note that in some cases, the pump is run  
continuously by switching the pump status switch  
position to "constant".

First, shut off the manual gas valve, and call  
the unit for heat. After the pre-purge and ignitor  
heat-up time, the main gas terminals will be  
energized, attempting to light, for seven (7)  
seconds, and then will de-energize. The unit will  
attempt to light two more times, and then will go  
into lockout mode. Second, turn the power off  
and then on again, open the manual gas valve  
and allow the unit to light. While the unit is  
operating, close the manual gas valve and ensure  
that power to the main gas valve has been cut.  
16. Within three (3) days of start-up, recheck all air  
bleeders and the expansion tank as described in  
Steps 4 and 8 above.  
SECTION 6.  
Operating Instructions  
6.1 Filling the Boiler System  
1. Ensure the system is fully connected. Close all  
bleeding devices and open make-up water valve.  
Allow system to fill slowly.  
2. If make-up water pump is employed, adjust  
pressure switch on pumping system to provide  
a minimum of 12 psi (81.8 kPa) at the highest  
point in the heating loop.  
3. If a water pressure regulator is provided on the  
make-up water line, adjust the pressure regulator  
to provide at least 12 psi (81.8 kPa) at the highest  
point in the heating loop.  
Important: The installer is responsible for identifying  
to the owner/operator the location of all emergency  
shutoff devices.  
4. Open bleeding devices on all radiation units  
at the high points in the piping throughout  
the system, unless automatic air bleeders are  
provided at such points.  
5. Run system circulating pump for a minimum of  
30 minutes with the boiler shut off.  
6. Open all strainers in the circulating system,  
check flow switch operation, and check for  
debris. If debris is present, clean out to ensure  
proper circulation.  
WARNING  
Do not use this appliance if any part has been  
under water. Immediately call a qualified service  
technician to inspect the appliance and to replace  
any part of the control system and any gas control  
that may have been under water.  
AVERTISSEMENT  
N’utilisez pas cet appareil si l’une de ses pièces est  
passée sous l’eau. Appelez tout de suite un technicien  
en entretien et en réparation pour inspection de  
l’appareil et remplacement des pièces du système de  
commande, et des pièces de commande du circuit  
gaz, qui sont passées sous l’eau.  
7. Recheck all air bleeders as described in Step 4.  
8. Check liquid level in expansion tank. With the  
system full of water and under normal operating  
pressure, the level of water in the expansion tank  
should not exceed ¼ of the total, with the balance  
filled with air.  
9. Start up boiler according to the procedure in this  
manual. Operate the entire system, including the  
pump, boiler, and radiation units for one (1) hour.  
10. Recheck the water level in the expansion tank. If  
the water level exceeds ¼ of the volume of the  
expansion tank, open the tank drain, and drain to  
that level.  
11. Shut down the entire system and vent all  
radiation units and high points in the system  
piping, as described in Step 4.  
12. Close make-up water valve and check strainer in  
pressure reducing valve for sediment or debris  
from the make-up water line. Reopen make-up  
water valve.  
13. Check gauge for correct water pressure and also  
check water level in the system. If the height  
indicated above the boiler insures that water is at  
the highest point in the circulating loop, then the  
system is ready for operation.  
6.2 Operating Temperature Control  
(Note: BMT2 may be ordered with either an on/  
off or 2-stage aquastat.)  
To utilize the boiler's on-board controller, be sure  
to have the “Local/Remote” selector switch to “Local”.  
Set the controller to the desired operating set point.  
The controller has an interstage differential that can be  
adjusted from 3°F to 10°F. This allows the user to have  
some control over how stage 2 and stage 1 call for heat  
(see Figure 19).  
Because the Brute Deluxe controller senses inlet  
water and the manual reset high limit senses outlet  
water, the high limit should be set 40-50°F higher than  
the controller, to avoid nuisance lockout of the manual  
reset high limit.  
6.3 External Boiler Operations  
If controlling the stages of the BMT2 from an  
external source (multiple boiler control, BAS, etc) the  
“Local/Remote” selector switch above the terminal  
strip must be placed in the “Remote” position. In this  
mode, the controller that is mounted on the BMT2  
will no longer have control of the unit. The 24V from  
the unit waits at the input terminal, and the external  
14. Refer to local codes and the make-up water  
valve manufacturer’s instructions as to whether  
the make-up water valve should be left open or  
closed.  
15. After placing the unit in operation, the ignition  
system safety shutoff device must be tested.

If the airflow proving circuit is not proven,  
ignition module will lock out. Section 6.5 describes  
the result of air flow faults in more detail.  
When the ignition control gets the signal at the  
PSW terminal, it will energize its MV terminal, which  
sends power to the stage one (or on/off) main valve.  
After a 7-second trial for ignition, the ignitor  
switches to flame sense mode. If a flame is not  
detected, the gas valve will close and the ignition  
module will attempt ignition again (up to two more  
times, for a total of three attempts.) If all three  
attempts fail, the ignition control will lock out.  
If flame is sensed, the burner will continue to  
fire as long as there is a call for heat, and none of the  
safety circuit is interrupted.  
If there is a call for stage 2 on a 2-stage unit, that  
valve will be energized.  
If there is a loss of flame signal during a  
successful firing sequence, the ignition control will  
remove power from the gas valves, and then attempt  
to light up to two more times. If successful, the Brute  
Deluxe will fire normally. If unsuccessful, the ignition  
control will lock out.  
*1 Difference between the temperatures at which the two switches  
make R-W. Adjustable from 3°F to 10°F (1.7°C to 5.6°C) on standard  
models, or from 3.6°F to 12°F (2.0°C to 6.7°C); 55°F to 175°F (13°C  
to 79°C) models.  
When the call for heat is satisfied, the gas  
valve(s) closes, and the blower starts a 45 second post-  
purge. Any pump connected to the Brute Deluxe pump  
time delay relay will continue to run for the time delay  
period (dialed by the user, 0.1 to 10 minutes).  
*2 Two DPDT switches operate in sequence. Each switch  
differential is fixed at approximately 3°F (1.7°C) on standard models,  
or 3.6°F (2.0°C); 55°F to 175°F (13°C to 79°C) models.  
Figure 19. Honeywell L8008G.  
6.5 Ignition Control Reaction to Air Flow /  
control switches this 24V from the input terminal to  
the stage terminal. The input for stage 1 is initiated  
by closing the circuit between the 2 terminals on the  
terminal strip labeled "input stage 1." The input for  
stage 2 is initiated by closing the circuit between the 2  
terminals on the terminal strip labeled "input stage 2."  
Blocked Vent Pressure Switch  
Air flow and blocked vent status are continuously  
monitored by the Brute Deluxe ignition control, at the  
control’s PSW terminal.  
At the start of an ignition sequence, if the ignition  
control sees power at PSW for 30 seconds, but the  
combustion blower has not yet been energized by the  
control (F1 and F2). The ignition control will remain  
in this fault mode, with the blower off. If the power to  
PSW is removed while there is still a call for heat, the  
ignition sequence will start again, but the main valves  
will not be energized until PSW sees power during the  
ignition sequence.  
At the start of an ignition sequence, the control  
sends the combustion blower output (F1 and F2). If  
the control does not see power at PSW for more than  
30 seconds, the control will remain in this fault mode,  
with the blower on. If proper airflow is later detected  
on PSW, the control begins a pre-purge and a normal  
trial for ignition.  
If the PSW signal is lost while the Brute Deluxe  
is firing, the control will immediately de-energize the  
gas valve terminal (MV). The blower will remain on  
for the post-purge period (45 seconds), and the control  
will continue to monitor the PSW input. If the signal  
is detected during the post-purge period, a normal trial  
for ignition will begin, starting with the 15-second  
pre-purge. If the signal is not detected during the post-  
purge, the control will lockout with the blower off.  
6.4 Sequence of Operation  
The pump time delay relay will receive a signal  
to initiate. If the unit is pump-mounted, the pump  
will be energized. The pump terminals on the field-  
wiring terminals strip will energize a field pump that is  
properly interlocked with the Brute Deluxe.  
Once the water flow switch makes, if all of the  
safety interlocks are closed, the ignition module will  
energize the blower(s) for a 15-second pre-purge,  
followed by a 40-second period to allow the ignitor to  
heat.  
The ignition control energizes the blower. The  
blower pressurizes the air box (which supplies air to  
the burners) and closes the normally-open contact  
on the airflow pressure switch. The blocked vent  
pressure switch senses the pressure in the exhaust  
plenum. This switch opens if the pressure is excessive  
(as an indicator of a blocked vent). When these two  
pressure switches are closed, voltage is sent to the  
PSW terminal on the ignition control, which allows the  
ignition module to proceed with the ignition sequence.  
Brute Deluxe (200, 300, 400)  
Page 31  
control will lockout, and will have to be  
reset by cycling the power before the unit  
will operate.  
(c) Open gas shutoff valve. Restart the  
appliance. The ignition sequence will  
start again and the burner will start. The  
appliance will return to its previous mode  
of operation.  
6.6 Operating the Burner and Set-Up  
6.6.1 Set-Up for 0 to 2500 Feet Altitude  
The setup must be checked before the unit is put  
in operation. Problems such as failure to start, rough  
ignition, strong exhaust odors, etc. can be due to  
improper setup. Damage to the Brute Deluxe resulting  
from improper setup is not covered by the limited  
warranty.  
6.6.2 High Altitude Adjustment and  
Set-Up  
1. Using this manual, make sure the installation  
is complete and fully in compliance with the  
instructions.  
2. Determine that the appliance and system are  
filled with water and all air has been bled from  
both. Open all valves.  
3. Observe all warnings on the Operating  
Instructions label and turn on gas and electrical  
power to appliance.  
4. Switch on the appliance power switch located on  
the right side of the unit.  
5. The Brute Deluxe will enter the start sequence,  
as long as the unit is being called for heat. The  
blower and pump come on for pre-purge, then  
the ignitor warm-up sequence starts and after  
the ignitor warm-up is complete and all safety  
devices are verified, the gas valves open. If  
ignition doesn’t occur, check that there is proper  
gas supply. Wait 5 minutes and start the unit  
again. During initial start up, air in the gas line  
may cause the Brute Deluxe to "lock out" during  
the first few trials for ignition. If the ignition  
control locks out, reset by cycling the power off  
and on using the main power switch on the right  
side of the cabinet.  
High altitude adjustment must not be made on  
appliances operating at elevations below 2500 ft. (762 m).  
No orifice changes are required to adjust the  
Brute Deluxe appliances for high altitude. High  
altitude adjustment is accomplished by adjustment  
of the air shutter. A CO2 or O2 analyzer is required to  
make these adjustments.  
Start the adjustment process by checking the CO2  
in the “as installed” condition. Adjust the air shutter(s)  
so that the CO2 is about 8% or the O2 is about 6.8%  
for appliances operating on natural gas. For appliances  
operating on LP Gas adjust the air shutter(s) so that the  
CO2 is about 9.2% or the O2 is about 6.8%.  
If the appropriate CO2 / O2 levels cannot be  
achieved by adjusting the air shutter. Contact the  
Technical Services Department at number shown on  
back page.  
The amount of derate will vary depending on  
heating value of the fuel and the elevation at the  
installation site.  
Caution  
Should any odor of gas be detected, or if the gas  
burner does not appear to be functioning in a  
normal manner, close main shutoff valve, do not  
shut off switch, and contact your heating contractor,  
gas company, or factory representative.  
6. When the unit is running, the supply gas pressure  
must be checked. Inlet gas pressure must not  
exceed 13 in. w.c. (3.2 kPa). The minimum inlet  
gas pressure is 5 in. w.c. (1.2 kPa) and 8 in. w.c.  
(2 kPa) for LP.  
Attention  
7. Once the inlet gas pressure is verified, the  
outlet gas pressure from each valve (manifold  
gas pressure) must be checked, and adjusted, if  
necessary. The manifold gas pressure must be 3.0  
in. w.c. (0.62 kPa) for natural gas and 9.0 in. w.c.  
(2.2 kPa) for LP.  
8. Complete the setup by checking the CO2 at the  
outlet of the unit. The CO2 should be 8% for  
natural gas, or 9.2% for LP.

Maintenance  
6.8 To Restart the Brute Deluxe  
If drained, follow Section 6.1 in this manual for  
proper filling and purging.  
7.1 System Maintenance  
1. Lubricate the system water-circulating pump, if  
required, per the instructions on the pump.  
2. If a strainer is employed in a pressure reducing  
valve or the piping, clean it every six months.  
3. Inspect the venting system for obstruction or  
leakage at least once a year. Periodically clean  
the screens in the vent terminal and combustion  
air terminal (when used).  
4. Keep the appliance area clear and free from  
combustible materials, gasoline, and other  
flammable vapors and liquids.  
5. If the appliance is not going to be used for  
extended periods in locations where freezing  
normally occurs, it should be isolated from the  
system and completely drained of all water. All  
systems connected to it should also be drained or  
protected from freezing.  
1. Switch off the main electrical disconnect switch.  
2. Close all manual gas valves.  
3. WAIT FIVE (5) MINUTES.  
4. Set the aquastat or thermostat to its lowest  
setting.  
5. Open all manual gas valves.  
6. Reset all safety switches (pressure switch,  
manual reset high limit, etc.).  
7. Set the temperature controller to the desired  
temperature setting and switch on electrical  
power.  
8. Burner will go through a pre-purge period and  
ignitor warm-up period, followed by ignition.  
6. Low water cutoffs, if installed, should be  
checked every 6 months. Float type low water  
cutoff should be flushed periodically.  
7. Inspect flue passages, and clean with brushes/  
vacuums, if necessary. Sooting in flue passages  
indicates improper combustion. Determine the  
cause and correct.  
8. Inspect the vent system and air intake system,  
and if the vent system is Category III, ensure  
that all joints are sealed properly. If joints need  
to be resealed, follow venting manufacturer's  
instructions to clean and reseal vent system.

7.2.1 Burners  
Close main manual gas valve before proceeding.  
Checking the burners for debris - Remove the ignitor/  
burner access panel and ignitor, and inspect the  
burners through the ignitor hole using a flashlight to  
illuminate. If there is any indication of debris on the  
burners that is visible, all the burners will need to be  
inspected more thoroughly. Remove the gas manifold  
assemblies and the burner assemblies. Inspect the  
burners. Clean burners, if necessary, by blowing  
compressed air from the outside of the burners into  
the center of the burner. A dirty burner may be an  
indication of improper combustion or dirty combustion  
air. Determine the cause, and correct. Replace the  
burners in the reverse order.  
7.2.5 Ignition Control  
The ignition control controls the hot surface  
ignitor and proves that the flame signal is appropriate  
for powering the gas valves. It also controls the  
blower’s pre-purge and post-purge.  
To replace a control, shut off the 120-volt power  
to the appliance. Remove the cover from the control  
panel. Remove the electrical connectors from the  
ignition control. Take out the controller’s mounting  
screws, and pull the controller out. Replace in reverse  
order.  
7.2.6 Ignitor  
The ignitor used is a 120v “Hot Surface” type.  
It is energized whenever there is a call for heat and  
switched off when ignition is established and the flame  
has been sensed. To replace the ignitor, shut off the  
120-volt power to the appliance, remove the ignitor/  
burner access panel, disconnect the Molex connector,  
remove the two mounting screws on the ignitor flange,  
and pull the ignitor out. Install in reverse order, always  
using a new ignitor gasket with the replacement  
ignitor.  
7.2.2 Filter  
The filter used in the Brute Deluxe is washable  
and has an 80% arrestance rating. Since the filter is  
washable, it will only need replacement occasionally.  
If filter replacement is needed, it should only be  
replaced with a factory part. Inspect the air filter  
monthly, or more often in dirty environments. If there  
is debris on the air filter, remove it from the filter  
frame, and wash it with mild soap and water. Ensure  
that the filter is completely dry before reinstalling.  
Caution  
Ignitor gets hot. To avoid injury, handle the ignitor  
with caution.  
7.2.3 Gas Valves  
The gas valves are designed to operate with  
supply pressures of 4-13 in. w.c. (1.0 to 3.2 kPa).  
To remove a valve, shut off 120-volt power  
and the manual gas shutoff valve. Remove the front  
panels from the unit. Disconnect the wires to the valve.  
Disengage the unions before and after the valve, and  
remove the valve. Pull the pipe nipples from the inlet  
and outlet of the valve, and clean the threads on the  
pipe nipples for reuse. Apply new tape or pipe dope  
to the pipe nipples (threaded joints should be coated  
with piping compound resistant to action of liquefied  
petroleum gas), and reinstall in reverse order. Turn  
on manual gas shutoff valve and 120 volt power and  
check appliance operation and tightness of gas valve  
connections.  
Attention

Manipulez le dispositif d’allumage avec précaution.  
7.2.7 Transformer  
The Brute Deluxe’s transformer is not capable  
of supplying control voltage for external devices such  
as zone valves, which must have their own separate  
power supply. Should a transformer need replacing,  
shut off the 120-volt power. Unplug the transformer

wires, remove the mounting screws and remove the  
transformer. Replace transformer in the reverse order.  
7.2.8 Flow Switch  
The Brute Deluxe uses a paddle-type flow switch  
to ensure that the unit has water flow before ignition is  
allowed. To replace the flow switch, turn off the 120-  
volt power to the appliance. Isolate the boiler or water  
heater from the system by closing the isolation valves.  
valve on the heater.  
3. Disconnect and remove the wires, conduit and  
sensors from all components that are attached to  
the inlet/outlet header.  
4. Isolate the heat exchanger from the water supply.  
5. Disconnect the header flanges from the inlet and  
outlet.  
6. Allow the heat exchanger to drain. Remove the  
venting and remove the top, by removing the  
screws that attach the top to the side panels.  
Remove the side panels.  
7. Remove the heat exchanger from the unit.  
NOTE: Heat exchangers are heavy and may  
require two people to remove to avoid personal  
injury.  
8. Clean the heat exchanger: A light accumulation  
of soot or corrosion on the outside of the heat  
exchanger can be easily removed. Use a wire  
brush to remove loose soot and scale from the  
heat exchanger.  
9. NOTE: While the heat exchanger is out of the  
unit, inspect the firewall refractory insulation.  
Replace if necessary.  
10. Inspect the inside of the copper tubes for scale  
buildup. Scale can build up on the inner surface  
of the heat exchanger tubes, which can restrict  
water flow. If the tubes show signs of scaling,  
clean the internal surface.  
11. Reassemble in the reverse order, and check  
appliance operation after start-up.  
Caution  
Water may be hot enough to scald. Allow water to  
cool before proceeding.  
Attention  
L’eau peut être chaude au point de vous brûler.  
Laissez refroidir l’eau avant d’intervenir.  
Release pressure in the system by actuating  
the pressure relief valves or field supplied boiler  
drain valve. Remove cover from the flow switch  
and disconnect the wires. Unthread the flow switch  
from piping. Ensure the new flow switch paddles are  
trimmed to the same size as the original paddles, and  
reinstall in the reverse order. For boiler and other static  
pressure systems, restore the system pressure to the  
original setting, (or 10 psi minimum).  
7.2.9 Heat Exchanger Coil  
WARNING  
NOTE: The warranty does not cover damage  
caused by lack of required maintenance, lack of  
water flow, or improper operating practices.  
Black carbon soot buildup on a dirty heat exchanger  
can be ignited by a random spark or flame thereby  
creating a risk of fire or explosion. To prevent this  
from happening, dampen the soot deposits with a  
wet brush or fine water spray before servicing the  
heat exchanger.  
AVERTISSEMENT  
L’accumulation de suie sur un échangeur thermique  
sale peut s’enflammer au contact d’une étincelle ou  
d’une flamme et présenter un risque d’incendie ou  
d’explosion. Afin d’empêcher que cela se produise,  
humidifier les dépôts de suie à l’aide d’une brosse  
mouillée ou par une pulvérisation fine d’eau avant  
d’effectuer l’entretien de l’échangeur thermique.  
The Brute Deluxe has a premixed burner system.  
These systems provide the burners with sufficient air  
for complete combustion, and black carbon sooting is  
seldom experienced. If sooting is suspected, view ports  
for inspection of the heat exchanger are provided on  
the side of the boiler. In the unlikely event that there is  
a buildup of black carbon soot or other debris on the  
heat exchanger, clean per the following:  
1. Disconnect the electrical supply to the unit.  
2. Turn off the gas supply by closing the manual gas

a load distribution problem. If the set points are correct  
and the system design, controls scheme, etc. are fixed,  
the temperature differentials may be increased to  
reduce short cycling. If desired temperature response  
is not achievable without short cycling it may be  
necessary to install a buffer tank in the system. Contact  
your Bradford White representative to discuss possible  
remedies.  
SECTION 8.  
Trouble Shooting  
8.1 Resolving Lockouts  
There are many causes of lockouts. The three  
most common causes are: (1) inadequate gas supply,  
(2) poor combustion, (3) ignitor failure.  
1. Inadequate gas supply: Before proceeding, ensure  
that the gas supply has not been shutoff or the LP  
tank (LP boilers) is not empty. Then, restart the  
boiler and observe the operational cycle. After  
a 15-second fan pre-purge, the ignitor will heat  
up for 40 seconds, and then the unit will light.  
If it does not, check the gas supply pressure to  
the appliance, after resetting the appliance and  
attempting another start-up. The gas pressure to  
the appliance must be above 5 in. w.c. (1.2 kPa)  
throughout the entire start-up cycle. If it is not,  
correct the supply problem (check gas valves or  
supply piping). If the supply pressure is adequate,  
consult the factory for assistance.  
2. Poor Combustion: Poor combustion should be  
suspected if there is a strong flue gas odor. The  
odor may result from an improper gas/air ratio  
(high or low O2 or CO2). Brute Deluxe appliances  
operate best with 45% excess air (8% CO2 on  
natural gas, 9.2% CO2 on LP). Check the CO2 of  
the appliance and adjust if necessary.  
8.4 Short Cycling — Water Heater  
Short cycling will generally occur only in  
combination space heating and water heating  
applications when the water heater is operating in the  
space-heating mode. If the heating load drops below  
the minimum input of the water heater for an extended  
period, the water heater will have a tendency to short  
cycle. If short cycling is frequently experienced,  
regardless of the control’s attempt to limit it, the  
heating load should be redistributed to control it.  
If short cycling occurs in a water heater  
application, it is probably caused by undersized  
piping between the water heater and the storage tank  
or by some other factor that restricts proper water  
flow through the water heater. The cause should be  
determined and corrected.  
8.5 High Gas Consumption  
Appliances operating with an improper air/  
fuel ratio are very inefficient and consequently, have  
very high gas consumption. Because efficiency is  
high when the CO2 is high (or O2 is low), appliances  
operating with low CO2 or high O2 (especially LP  
appliances) consume more gas. Adjust the CO2 or O2  
for optimum efficiency. If no combustion analyzing  
equipment (CO2 or O2) is available then a proper  
adjustment of the air/fuel ratio (CO2 or O2) cannot be  
accomplished. The CO2 should be 8% at high fire for  
natural gas and 9.2% at high fire for LP. To check the  
CO2, first verify that the supply gas pressure is within  
5 to 13 in. w.c. (1.2 to 3.2 kPa). With the Brute Deluxe  
running with all stages firing, set the air box pressure  
to 1.8 in. w.c. (0.42 kPa) (as a starting point), by  
adjusting the air shutter(s) at the intake of the fan(s).  
Check the CO2, and adjust the air shutters if further  
adjustment to the CO2 is needed.  
3. Ignitor failure: If the boiler goes through a  
normal start cycle but combustion does not  
occur, ignitor failure should be suspected. Check  
the ignitor by unplugging the ignitor plug and  
measuring the ignitor resistance. It should be  
50-80 ohms. If the resistance is not 50-80 ohms,  
replace the ignitor. If the resistance is correct,  
reset the boiler and check for 120 VAC at the  
ignitor plug during the start cycle. If there is no  
voltage, replace the faulty ignitor wire harness or  
the ignition control.  
8.2 Delayed Ignition — Possible Causes  
A defective burner can cause a delayed ignition.  
If the gas supply pressure is proper and the gas  
valves are functioning properly, then burners should  
be inspected. There should be no distortion or  
perforations in the burners outside of the active burner  
port area. Replace if indicated.  
8.3 Short Cycling — Boiler  
Boiler short cycling is caused when the load  
on the boiler system swings rapidly causing frequent  
cycling between call for heat and satisfied conditions.  
This condition is greatly reduced on two stage units  
or stage controlled multiple boiler systems which can  
change heat input to better match the load. If short  
cycling is a problem, it may be due to an oversized  
boiler, improper control strategy, incorrect set points or
