1.7 Locating Pump-Mounted Boiler with
Respect to Return/Supply Header

For the best results, a pump-mounted Brute Deluxe

Boiler should be located within 15 feet (4.6m) of the
supply and return headers. The pump is sized for 30 feet
(9.1m) of piping.

If the appliance must be installed with longer

piping runs, then larger diameter tubing shall be used.
Consult the factory for assistance.

1.8 Locating Appliance for Correct
Horizontal Vent/Ducted Air Distance

from Outside Wall

The forced draft combustion air blower/blowers

in the appliance has/have sufcient power to pull air

and vent properly when the following guidelines for
horizontal air and vent are followed (see Table 2).

NOTE: The vent collar size is larger than the size of

the vent pipe that can be used. Vent collar size and

horizontal pipe diameters can be found in Table 2. The
larger vent collar size is to accommodate Category I

(vertical) vent systems.

NOTE: When located on the same wall, the Brute
Deluxe combustion air intake terminal must be installed
a minimum of 12" (30cm) below the exhaust vent
terminal and separated by a minimum of 36 inches
(91cm) horizontally.

The air intake terminal must be installed high

enough to avoid blockage from snow, leaves and other

debris.

SECTION 2.

Venting and Combustion Air

2.1 Combustion Air

Brute Deluxe boilers and water heaters must

have provisions for combustion and ventilation air

in accordance with section 5.3, Air for Combustion
and Ventilation, of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1, or Sections 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 of CSA B149.1,

Installation Codes, or applicable provisions of the local

building codes.

A Brute Deluxe appliance may receive combustion

air from the space in which it is installed, or it can be

ducted directly to the unit from the outside. Ventilation
air must be provided in either case.

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.

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.

Table 3 shows data for this sizing method, for each Brute

Deluxe model.

Method 2: One permanent opening, commencing
within 12 inches (30 cm) of the top of the enclosure,
shall be permitted. The opening shall directly

communicate with the outdoors or shall communicate
through a vertical or horizontal duct to the outdoors or
spaces that directly communicate with the outdoors and
shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per

3000 BTU/hr (7 square cm/kW) of the total input rating
of all equipment located in the enclosure. This opening

must not be less than the sum of the areas of all vent

connectors in the conned space.

Other methods of introducing combustion and

ventilation air are acceptable, providing they conform to

the requirements in the applicable codes listed above.

In Canada, consult local building and safety codes

or, in absence of such requirements, follow CSA B149.1.

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 2). When

taken from the roof, a eld-supplied rain cap or an elbow

arrangement must be used to prevent entry of rain water

(see Figure 3).

Use single-wall galvanized pipe, per Table 4, for

the combustion air intake (see Table 2 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 2). When fewer than 3 elbows are

used, the maximum linear pipe length allowed is still 50
feet (15.2m).

The connection for the intake air pipe is on the

lter box. The Brute Deluxe appliances have venting and
combustion air ducting attached to the top.

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.

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 vertical
vent system may be considered Category III. In the
U.S., the National Fuel Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1-Latest
Edition), or in Canada the CSA B149.1 (latest edition),
denes a Category I vent system, and includes rules and
tables to size these vent systems. If the Brute Deluxe’s

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.

If using a power venter for any type of Category I

venting, the draft should be set between (negative) 0.01
and 0.10" w.c.

2.2.3 Common Venting Systems

Brute Deluxe units are Category I fan-assisted

when vented vertically and adhering to all applicable

codes.

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 inltrate occupied spaces. If the
appliances are allowed to operate in this condition,
serious injury or death may occur.

WARNING

Operation of appliances with a blocked common vent
may lead to serious injury or death. If safe operation

of all appliances connected to a common vent cannot

be assured, including prevention of spillage of ue

gasses into living spaces, common venting should not
be applied, and appliances should each be vented

separately.

Proper vent sizing, construction and safety
requirements from the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1 or in Canada, from CSA B149.1 as well as all
applicable local codes must be followed.

As an additional precaution, it is recommended

that a Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm be installed in all

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 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,

enclosed spaces containing combustion appliances.

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

qualied engineer.

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

ue gasses into living spaces, common venting should

not be applied, and appliances should each be vented

separately.

2.2.4 Category III Vent

When the Brute Deluxe is vented with horizontal

discharge, it must be installed per this installation

manual and the venting system manufacturer’s
installation instructions. The vent system must be sealed

stainless steel (see Table 5).

Route the vent pipe to the heater as directly as
possible. Seal all joints and provide adequate hangers
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.
Reference Table 2 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.

WARNING

The outdoor vent terminal gets hot. Unit must be
installed in such a way as to reduce the risk of burns
from contact with the vent terminal.

2.3 Locating Vent & Combustion Air

Terminals

2.3.1 Side Wall Vent Terminal

The appropriate Bradford White side wall vent
hood 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 or .2 and local
applicable codes. Consider the following when installing

the terminal:

1. Figure 4 shows the requirements for mechanical
vent terminal clearances for the U.S. and Canada.

2. Vent terminals for condensing appliances or

appliances with condensing vents are not permitted
to terminate above a public walkway, or over an
area where condensate or vapor could create a

nuisance or hazard.

3. Locate the vent terminal so that vent gases cannot
be drawn into air conditioning system inlets.

4. Locate the vent terminal so that vent gases cannot

enter the building through doors, windows, gravity

inlets or other openings. When possible, locations
under windows or near doors should be avoided.

5. Locate the vent terminal so that it cannot be
blocked by snow. The National Fuel gas code
requires that it be at a minimum of 12" above
grade. In a location that has the possibility of snow

accumulation, it is critical the installer places the

vent at least 12" higher than the maximum potential
snow line. Seek local municipalities and their codes
for appropriate installation techniques.

6. 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.

7. If the boiler or water heater uses ducted combustion

air from an intake terminal located on 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.

2.3.2 Side Wall Combustion Air Terminal

The Bradford White side wall combustion air

terminal (see Table 2) 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 uid,
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 a minimum of 12"
above grade. Depending on local conditions, the
installer should ensure that it remains at least 12"
above the maximum potential snow line. Seek

local municipalities and their codes for appropriate

installation techniques.

WARNING: It is critical that the combustion

air intake and the vent terminals remain at least
12" above the maximum potential snow line.

If either the vent terminal or the air terminal is

blocked by snow, there may be potential for the

unit to produce excess carbon monoxide and or

recirculate ue gasses into the building/dwelling.

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.

Page 12

Bradford White Corp

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.

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
no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion and

other deciencies 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 replace dampers.

4. Place in operation the appliance being inspected.
Follow the lighting instructions. Adjust thermostat
so appliance will operate continuously.

5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening
after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use
the ame of a match or candle, or smoke from a
cigarette, cigar or pipe.

6. After it has been determined that each appliance

remaining connected to the common venting
system properly vents when tested as outlined

above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans,
replace dampers and any other gas burning
appliance to their previous conditions of use.

7. Any improper operation of the common venting

system should be corrected so that the installation

conforms to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1, Installation
Codes. When resizing any portion of the common

venting system, the common venting system
should be resized to approach the minimum size as

determined using the appropriate tables in Part II of
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54 and/or CSA B149.1, Installation Codes.

2.5 Vent Terminals for Outdoor Units

For outdoor applications, the vent and combustion

air openings must be covered with proper terminals to
prevent rain, snow and other objects from falling into the

Brute Deluxe.

If local codes allow, outdoor installations may

use 1' of appropriately sized galvanized single wall or

B-Vent and a rain cap for exhaust vent termination in
the default conguration (venting out of the top). Note

that some local codes may require a higher vertical

vent height, extending above any perimeter fencing,
etc. In installations where the appearance of the vent is
objectionable, the low prole vent terminals in Table 6
may be used.

SECTION 3.

Gas Supply and Piping

3.1 Gas Supply and Piping

Gas piping should be supported by suitable hangers

or oor stands, not by the appliance.

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.

Review the following instructions before

proceeding with the installation.

1. Verify that the appliance is tted 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 6.6.2) 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" W.C. (1.2kPa).

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.

7. All threaded joints should be coated with piping
compound resistant to action of liqueed petroleum
gas.

8. The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must

be disconnected from the gas supply piping during
any pressure testing of that system at test pressures

in excess of 1/2 PSIG (3.45kpa).

9. The unit must be isolated from the gas supply

system by closing its individual manual shutoff
valve during any pressure testing of the gas supply
piping system at test pressures equal to or less than

1/2 PSIG (3.45kpa).

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 ame to check for leaks. An open
ame could lead to explosion, which could result in
property damage, serious injury or death.

NOTE: The Brute Deluxe appliance and all other gas
appliances sharing the gas supply line must be ring 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.

Water Connections — 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 psi (82.7kPa)
static pressure at the boiler.

Hot water piping should be supported by suitable

hangers or oor 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 ow
check in the system supply loop. Minimum ll pressure
must be 12psig (82.7kPa). Install shutoff valves where
required by code.

Suggested piping diagrams are shown (see Figures

6 through 10). 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 ll valve.

2. Install a suitable back ow preventer between the
automatic ll 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 ow 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.

4A.3 Water Flow Requirements — Boiler

A hydronic heating (closed loop) application

re-circulates the same uid in the piping system. As a
result, no new minerals or oxygen is introduced into the
system. To ensure a proper operating temperature leading
to long boiler life, a ow rate has been established based

on the uid temperature rise for this specic size boiler.

Pump-mounted boilers can be ordered for use in
primary secondary piping systems. The pumps used are
sized for the headloss through the heater, plus 30 feet
(9.1m) of full-sized piping (same size as boiler outlet)
and a normal number of ttings.

Table 8 species water ow rates for boilers, which

will enable the user to size a pump. The headloss shown

is for the heater only, and the user will need to add the

headloss 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.

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
ow requirements by 15%, and increase the headloss
requirements by 20%.

Power outage, interruption of gas supply, failure
of system components, activation of safety devices, etc.,
may prevent a boiler from ring. Any time a boiler is

subjected to freezing conditions, and the boiler is not

able to re, 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 ooding
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
specications, or the glycol manufacturer, for information
about specic products, maintenance of solutions, and
set up according to your particular conditions.

SECTION 4B.
Water Connections —
Water Heaters

4B.1 Water System Piping —

Water Heater

Hot water piping should be supported by suitable

hangers or oor 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.

The Brute Deluxe can be used with several dif-

Brute Deluxe (500-2000), Install & Operating

ferent 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 headloss
through the heater, plus 30 feet (9.1m) of full-sized pip-

ing (same size as boiler outlet) and a normal number of

ttings. 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.

Suggested piping diagrams are shown in Figures 11

through 14. These diagrams are meant only as a guide.

Components required by local codes must be properly

installed.

The minimum inlet water temperature for the Brute

Deluxe is 120°F (49°C) to avoid condensing on the
copper coils.

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 must be installed in the
separate storage tank system.

If the Brute Deluxe water heater is installed in

a closed water supply system, such as one having a

backow 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.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
ow requirements for the Brute Deluxe water heater are
based upon the hardness of the water. The water ow is

kept high enough to prevent scaling, but low enough to

prevent tube erosion. For extremely soft or hard water,

Page 15

cupro-nickel tubes are available. Contact a Bradford
White Representative if you have questions or concerns
about water quality.

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
headloss through the heater, plus 30 feet (9.1m) of full-

sized piping (same size as heater outlet) and a normal

number of ttings.

Table 9 species water ow rates for water heaters,

which will enable the user to size a pump. The headloss

shown is for the heater only, and the user will need to add

the headloss of the piping system to properly size the pump.

4B.4 Combined Water Heating (potable)

and Space Heating — Water Heater

NOTE: These systems are not allowed in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

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
installed to temper the water for those uses in order
to reduce scald hazard potential.

4B.5 Freeze Protection – Water Heater

Although Brute Deluxe water heaters are design­certied 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 ring. Any time a heater is

subjected to freezing conditions, and the heater is not

able to re, 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 ooding
conditions.

Contact the local factory representative or Bradford

White for additional information.

WARNING

The appliance must be electrically grounded in

accordance with the requirements of the authority having
jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, with
the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/
NFPA 70, in the U.S. and with latest edition of CSA
C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, in Canada. Do
not rely on the gas or water piping to ground the metal
parts of the boiler. Plastic pipe or dielectric unions may
isolate the boiler electrically. Service and maintenance
personnel, who work on or around the boiler, may be
standing on wet oors and could be electrocuted by an
ungrounded boiler.

Single pole switches, including those of safety

controls and protective devices must not be wired in a

grounded line.

All electrical connections are made in the eld

wiring terminal strip, which is located at the right side of

the appliance.

NOTE: All internal electrical components have been pre­wired. No attempt should be made to connect electrical
wires to any other location except the wiring box.

5.1.1 Changing Single Circuit to Two

eld wire area. Single circuit 120-volt units will be eld
connected at the main terminal block labeled "120V
(L1)", "NEUTRAL" and "GROUND". See Figure 15
for over current protection ratings.

Sizes 1750, 2000 (and those which have been eld
retrotted to electrically separate the pump and heater)
require two 120-volt circuits. The heater circuit is found
on the main terminal block and denoted as "120V (L1)",
"NEUTRAL" and "GROUND". The pump circuit is
located on terminal block 1 and is denoted as "120V
(L2)", "N2 (PUMP MTD)", "GROUND 2 (PUMP
MTD)". See Figure 15 for over current protection
ratings.

External Pumps: All non-pump-mounted BMT2

units have an internal (dry) contact rated for 20Amps.
A eld-supplied pump can be connected directly to this
contact if it does not draw more than 20 Amps. If more

current is required, a separate pump contactor must be

installed.

To utilize this internal pump contact, supply 120
volt single-phase power to the terminal marked “120V
(L2)” and supply the pump using the terminal marked
“L2 LOAD (EXT. PUMP)”.

NOTE: This pump control is equipped with a delay on
break typically set for 3 minutes, but can be adjusted
between 0.1 and 10 minutes.

Field Interlocks: To install other eld-wired

devices to interlock with the boiler (tank stats, louver

switches, ow switches, etc.), remove the jumper
between terminals 3 and 4 and wire the device in series
across these terminals. These terminals are located in the
upper main control panel.

External Control Wiring: These terminals are

located in the upper main control panel.

Optional Alarm Contacts: As an option, the Brute

Deluxe is available with an alarm kit. This alarm kit
contains a dry contact for up to 120V which is available
within the 120V eld wiring panel. These terminals will
be clearly labeled "Alarm" and are rated up to 10 amps.

5.3 External Staging Control Wiring

WARNING

Improper eld wiring may result in re or explosion
which can cause property damage, severe injury,
or death. Make only wiring connections which are
in accordance with the Installation and Operation
manual.

AVERTISSEMENT

Un câblage incorrect lors de l’installation peut causer

un incendie ou une explosion pouvant entraîner des

dommages matériels, de graves blessures ou la mort.

Ne faire seulement que les connexions conformes au

Manuel d’installation et d’exploitation.

If controlling the stages of the BMT2 from an

external source (multiple boiler control, BAS, etc.),
wire Stage 1 to the terminals marked "Input Stage 1"
and "Stage 1", and wire Stage 2 to the terminals marked
"Input Stage 2" and "Stage 2". The "Local/Remote"

selector switch above the terminal strip must be placed

in the "Remote" position for the external controller to
manage the staging.

If it is intended to use the BMT2's on-board 2-

stage controller, no extra wiring is necessary. Ensure the
Local/Remote selector switch is in the "Local" position.

SECTION 6.

Operating Instructions

6.1 Sequence of Operation

Upon initiation of the main power switch, 120V will be

sent to multiple items. Among these are the open contact

fan relays, open contact ignitor relay, open contact pump
relay, ignition control module(s) and open contact lock

out indicators (the optional alarm package uses this). In
addition to these, 24V will travel through the optional gas

pressure switches and optional auto reset high limit and

boiler control relays. The 24V will then travel through the
block ue switch and the manual reset high limit to the
temperature controller.

Upon a call for heat from the BMT2’s internal control
or an external staging control, 24V travels through
the eld interlock (if closed) and then to the ignition
control(s) “T-stat” terminal (500-750 models are
equipped with one ignition control and models 1000­2000 are equipped with two ignition controls).

When “T-stat” on an ignition control is energized, its

fan will energize and the ignition control will seek signal

from the “pressure circuit”. The pressure circuits consist
of the ow switch and proof of fan.

Models 500-1,000 calls for fan, fan prove, initiate
pump then prove ow, after which “pressure circuit” has
been satised.

Models 1250-2000 calls for pump, proof of ow,
initiate fan then prove fan, after which “pressure circuit”
has been satised. The fan prove will only occur for the
active stage that has been called.

When pressure circuit has been satised, proving
combustion air and adequate water ow, the hot surface
igniter will initiate. The ignition control checks that the

igniter current reached a predetermined level then will

dwell momentarily. When dwell time is complete the gas
valve will open.

After a 4-second trial for ignition, the igniter switches
off. Unless a ame is detected by the ame sensor (a
minimum value of 0.4µA), the gas valve will close and

The ignition module will either attempt ignition again
(up to three times) or will lock out if the optional lockout

ignition module is used.

If ame is sensed, the burner will continue to re as
long as there is a call for heat and adequate ame signal.

Brute Deluxe (500-2000), Install & Operating

If there is a subsequent loss of ame signal, the burner

will attempt re-ignition up to three times (only once

if optional lockout ignition is used.) When the call for
heat is satised, the gas valves(s) close and the blowers
continues to run for 30 seconds.

The pump will continue to run for 0.1 to 10 minutes,

depending on what the pump time delay has been set

to. Brute Deluxe sizes 1,000-2,000 have two ignition
controls that control the individual stages. If one ignition

control should fail for any reason, the remaining module

can operate its burners independently. (Note that if a
single blower is disabled on units 1250-2000, the other
fan will continue to operate and safely allow the boiler
to run with a single stage.)

6.2 Filling the System

1. Ensure the system is fully connected. Close all
bleeding devices and open make-up water valve.
Allow system to ll 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.

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
ow switch operation, and check for debris. If

debris is present, clean out to ensure proper circula-

tion.

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
lled with air.

9. Start up system 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

Page 27

the highest point in the circulating loop, then the

system is ready for operation.

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. 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 four (4) seconds, and then
will de-energize. The unit 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.

Important: The installer is responsible for identifying to

the owner/operator the location of all emergency shutoff
devices.

WARNING

Do not use this appliance if any part has been under

water. Immediately call a qualied 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.

6.3 Operating Temperature Control

All Brute Deluxe's are equipped with a two-stage
aquastat. To utilize this mounted 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 22).

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.

6.4 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 control
switches this 24V from the input terminal to the stage
terminal.

6.5 Limit Controls

The manual reset high limit control is provided

as standard equipment on all heaters. An additional
automatic reset switch is optional.A high limit

temperature-sensing bulb is always located in the heater

outlet. Burners will automatically shut down whenever
overheating occurs.

6.6 Operating the Burner and Set Up

6.6.1 Set Up for 0 to 2500 Feet Altitude

The Brute Deluxe appliance utilizes a modular
design to achieve its stage-ring. 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.

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 lled

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 veried, 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 rst few trials for ignition.
Depending on the ignition modules installed, the

manual reset button on the ignition modules may

need to be depressed to restart the Brute Deluxe.

6. When the unit is running, the supply gas pressure
must be checked. Inlet gas pressure must not
exceed 13" W.C. (3.2kPa). The minimum inlet gas
pressure is 5" W.C. (1.2kPa).

7. Once the inlet gas pressure is veried, the

outlet gas pressure from each valve (manifold
gas pressure) must be checked, and adjusted, if

necessary. The manifold gas pressure must be 2.5"
W.C. (0.62kPa).

8. Complete the setup by checking the CO
outlet of the unit. The CO

should be 8% for natural

2

at the

2

gas, or 9.2% for propane.

9. After placing the appliance in operation, the
Burner Safety Shutoff Device must be tested.

(a) Close gas shutoff valve with burner operating.
(b) The ame will go out and blower will

continue to run for the post purge cycle.
One additional attempt to light will follow.
Ignition will not occur as the gas is off. The

ignition control will lockout, and will have to

be reset 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.

NOTE: Unit sizes 1000–2000 have two ignition controls
and two ignitors, which work independently of one
another. If the ignition control for stage 1 fails to properly

light the main burners for that stage, the second ignition

control will still be active, and will be able to energize
stage 2. This, of course, will only occur upon call for
stage 2 and if all other safety devices conrm that the
unit will run in a safe condition.

6.6.2 High Altitude Adjustment and Set Up

Brute Deluxe appliances may be operated at high

altitude (7700 ft., 2347 m) with a reduction in output
of approximately 10%. At altitudes of less than or
more than 7700 ft. (2347 m) the appliance will perform
equally as well, but with differing reductions in output.
At elevations higher than 7700 ft. (2347 m) the reduction
in output will exceed 10% and at elevations below 7700
ft. (2347 m) it will be less than 10%. High altitude

adjustment must not be made on appliances operating at

elevations below 2500 ft. (762 m).

Brute Deluxe (500-2000), Install & Operating

Page 29

No orice changes are required to adjust the

Brute Deluxe appliances for high altitude. High altitude

adjustment is accomplished by adjustment of the gas

valve manifold pressure and the air shutter(s). The

required instruments used to assist in these adjustments

are a CO

or O2 Analyzer and a U-Tube Manometer or

2

other device capable of reading a pressure of 2.5-3.0
inches W.C. (0.62-0.75 kPa).

Start the adjustment process by checking the CO

2

in the “as installed” condition. Adjust the air shutter(s)
so that the CO

is about 8% or the O2 is about 6.8% for

2

appliances operating on Natural Gas. For appliances
operating on LP Gas adjust the air shutter(s) so that the

is about 9.2% or the O2 is about 6.8%. Appliances

CO

2

with two blowers should be adjusted so that the air

shutters below each blower are open the same amount.

Once the CO

or O2 has been set, the manifold

2

pressure may be adjusted. Remove the 1/8 NPT plug

from the lower side of the gas valve that is to be set and

install a tting, hose and manometer. Start the appliance
and observe the manifold pressure. Manifold pressure
must be adjusted to 3.0 in. W.C. (0.75 kPa) (for high
altitude only, standard operating pressure is 2.5 in. W.C.
(0.62 kPa)). It is adjusted by removing the slotted cap on

the gas valve and turning the adjustment screw (beneath
the cap) clockwise to increase pressure and replaced
after the adjustments have been completed and the

tting, hose and manometer have been removed and the
1/8" plug has been replaced. Repeat this process until all
gas valves have been set. Note: The pressure can be set

only when the appliance is operating and only when the
particular gas valve being adjusted is energized by a call

for heat from the staging control.

After all of the gas valve manifold pressures have

been set, the CO

or O2 must be reset. CO2 or O2 will

2

have changed when the manifold pressure was adjusted.
Open the air shutter(s) to reduce the CO

or O2 to the

2

values achieved previously.

The procedure is complete when all gas valves are

adjusted to a manifold pressure of 3.0 in. W.C. (0.75
kPa) and the CO

is adjusted to 8.0% for Natural Gas

2

appliances or 9.2% for LP appliances (to be checked
only at full re). When using an O

is 6.8% for both Natural Gas and LP appliances.

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 prepurge period and
ignitor warm-up period, followed by ignition.

SECTION 7.
Maintenance

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

ammable 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.

6. Low water cutoffs, if installed, should be checked
every 6 months. Float type low water cutoff should
be ushed periodically.

7. Inspect ue passages, and clean with brushes/
vacuums, if necessary. Sooting in ue 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, completely remove existing sealing
material, and clean with alcohol. Apply new sealing
material, and re-assemble.

Caution

Label all wires prior to disconnection when servicing
controls. Wiring errors can cause improper and
dan-gerous operation. Verify proper operation after
servicing.

See Figure 5 for location of gas train components.

The gas and electric controls on the appliance are
engineered for long life and dependable operation, but
the safety of the equipment depends on their proper

functioning. It is strongly recommended that a qualied

service technician inspect the basic items listed below

every year.
a. Ignition controls
b. Ignitors
c. Water temperature control
d. Automatic gas valve
e. Pressure switches
f. Blowers

7.2.1 Burners

Close main manual gas valve before proceeding.
Checking the burners for debris - Remove the ignitor

inspection panels(s) and ignitor(s) and inspect the burners

through the ignitor hole(s) using a ashlight to illuminate.

If there is any indication of debris on the burners that
are visible, all the burners will need to be inspected

more thoroughly. Remove the screws from around the
front of the air box (large panel from which the ignitor

inspection panel(s) were removed), and remove the

large panel. Remove the gas manifold assemblies and
the burner panels. 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

7.2.2 Filter

The lter used in the Brute Deluxe is washable
with an 83% arrestance. Since the lter is washable,

it will only need replacement when unwashable,

deteriorated or damaged. If lter replacement is needed,
it should only be replaced with a factory part. Inspect
the air lter. If there is debris on the air lter, remove
it from the lter box, and wash it with mild soap and
water. Ensure that the lter is completely dry before re­installing, in reverse order.

7.2.3 Gas Valves

The gas valves are designed to operate with supply

pressures of 4-13 inches 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 top front panel
from the unit. Disconnect the wires to the valve. Disen­gage the anged tting before and after the valve, and
remove the valve. Re-install in reverse order. Ensure

o-rings are properly installed for both inlet and outlet.
Turn on manual gas shutoff valve and 120 volt power

and check appliance operation and tightness of gas valve

connections.

7.2.4 Manual Reset High Limit Control

The high limit switch is manual reset switch with

an adjustable set point, up to 240°F (116°C) on boiler
models and 200°F (93°C) on water heater models
and boilers ordered with low temperature controls. To
replace the switch, shut off the 120-volt power to the
appliance. Remove the cover from the switch to access
the mounting screws. Remove the screws, and pull the
switch off the control panel. Remove the capilliary and
bulb from the thermal well located in the header. Replace
in reverse order.

7.2.5 Temperature Control

The temperature control is a Honeywell L6008. To
replace the control, shut off the 120-volt power to the
appliance. Remove the cover from the control panel, and
remove the mounting screws to remove the controller.
Replace in reverse order.

7.2.6 Ignition Controls

The ignition controls ensure the proved interrupted-

type ignition system. They control the hot surface
ignitors and prove that the ame signal is appropriate
for powering the gas valves. It also controls the blower’s
pre-purge and post-purge. Brute Deluxe sizes 500 and
750 have one ignition control. Sizes 1000 to 2000 have
two ignition controls. On sizes up to 750, one ignition
control controls stages 1 and 2. On unit sizes 1000–2000,

one ignition control is for stage 1, and the other is for

stage 2.

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.

7.2.7 Ignitors/Sensor

The ignitor/sensor used are 120v "hot surface"
type. They are energized whenever there is a call for heat
and switched off when ignition is established and ame
has been sensed. Brute Deluxe sizes 500 and 750 have
one ignitor/sensor. Sizes 1000 to 2000 have two ignitor/
sensors. To replace the ignitor/sensor, shut off the 120-

volt power to the appliance, remove the ignitor access

panel, disconnect the Molex connector, remove the two
mounting screws on the ignitor/sensor ange and pull the
ignitor out. ((Hot Surface) Ignitor and the Flame Sensor
are the same items). Install in reverse order, always using
a new ignitor gasket with the replacement ignitor.

Caution

Ignitor gets hot.

Brute Deluxe (500-2000), Install & Operating

7.2.8 Transformer

The 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.

7.2.9 Blowers

The combustion air blowers bring the combustion

air for the Brute Deluxe from the upper chamber to
the lower chamber. Mixing of the gas and air occurs
in the burners. Sizes 500, 750 and 1000 each have one
blower, and sizes 1250 to 2000 each have two blowers.
If a blower change is required, turn off the 120-volt
power and gas supply to the unit. Remove the front
panel. Disconnect the blower's wire harness. Remove
the screws at the blower ange, and pull the blower out.
Replace blower in reverse order, ensuring that all joints
are made correctly. After replacement, ensure that the

unit operates properly, by following the set-up procedure

in this manual.

7.2.10 Flow Switch

The Brute Deluxe uses a paddle-type ow switch
to ensure that the unit has water ow before ignition is
allowed.

7.2.11 Heat Exchanger Coil

WARNING

Black carbon soot buildup on a dirty heat exchanger
can be ignited by a random spark or ame, thereby
creating a risk of re or explosion.. To prevent this
from happening, dampen the soot deposits with a wet
brush or ne water spray before servicing the heat
exchanger.

The Brute Deluxe has a pre-mixed burner system.
These systems provide the burners with sufcient 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 right side of the boiler. They are located below the

headers, and are accessed by opening the small round

cover that is attached by one screw. 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

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.

Page 31

5. Disconnect the header anges from the inlet and
outlet.

6. Allow the heat exchanger to drain. Remove the

front cover(s) by removing the rubber access

strip(s) and the retaining screws. Remove the

venting and remove the top, by removing the

screws that attach the top to the side panels.
Remove the side panels. Remove the front lower
panels sealing the combustion area. To remove

the gas train, disconnect the unions located below

the intermediate pan and the eld installed union

located outside the cabinet, and pull up, bringing
the union end connectors through the grommets in

the intermediate pan. To remove the intermediate

pan, remove the slide out control assembly and

blower(s) to reveal the screws. Remove the screws

holding the intermediate pan, and lift up to remove

it. The heat exchanger has integral metal sections
attached, which connect to the frame of the boiler.
Locate and remove the screws along the front,

rear and bottom of the integral metal sections, and

remove the heat exchanger and metal sections by
lifting up. On the larger appliances, a center heat
exchanger support must be unbolted before it can
be removed.

7. Remove the heat exchanger from the unit. Note:
The 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. Do not use water or compressed air for cleaning.

9. Note: While the heat exchanger is out of the unit,
inspect the rewall 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
ow. If the tubes show signs of scaling, clean the
internal surface. Bradford White offers a tube
cleaning kit, part number R0010000.

11. Reassemble in the reverse order, and check
appliance operation after start-up.

NOTE: The Warranty does not cover damage caused
by lack of required maintenance, lack of water ow,
or improper operating practices.

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 20 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" W.C. (1.2kPa) 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 ue gas odor. The
odor may result from an improper gas/air ratio
(high or low O
operate best with 45% excess air (8% CO
natural gas, 9.2% CO
the appliance and adjust if necessary.

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 at room
temperature. 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

Because the Brute Deluxe is a stage-red boiler,

and its input will decrease when there is a reduction

in heating load, short cycling is greatly reduced. If

the heating load drops below the minimum input of

the boiler for an extended period, the boiler will have
a tendency to short cycle. This can be a symptom

of improper control strategy or setpoints, or a load

distribution problem. Contact your Bradford White
representative to discuss possible remedies.

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. Because the Brute Deluxe is a stage-red water

heater and its input will reduce when there is a reduction

in heating load, short cycling is greatly reduced. 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 ow 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 inefcient and consequently, have very high gas

the ue gases it is possible to determine if the CO

or O2

2

is within the proper range. No signicant ue gas odor
should be detected when combustion is proper. A strong

piercing smell indicates poor combustion and generally

a lean mixture - low CO
be 8% at high re. To check the CO

or high O2 . The CO2 should

2

, rst verify that the

2

supply gas pressure is within 5" to 13" w.c. (1.2 to 3.2 kPa)
With the Brute Deluxe running with all stages ring, set
the air box pressure to 1.5" w.c. (0.37 kPa) (as a starting

point), by adjusting the air shutter(s) at the bottom of the

fan(s). Check the CO
adjustment to the CO

, and adjust the air shutters if further

2

is needed. Sizes 1250 to 2000 have

2

two blowers and two air chambers (boxes). The pressure
of each air box must be equal when the nal adjustment is
made.
