Section 2 LOCA TING THE APPLIANCE
BRADFORD WHITE C ORP.
2.1 GeneralInformation
The Brute Elite unit is designed for indoor installations
only.
The appliance should be located to provide clearances on all
sides for maintenance and inspection. It should not be located
in an area where leakage of any connections will result in
damage to the area adjacent to the appliance or to lower oors
of the structure.
When such a location is not available, it is recommended that
a suitable drain pan, adequately drained, be installed under the
appliance.
The appliance is design certied by CSA-International for
installation on combustible ooring; in basements; in closets,
utility rooms or alcoves. Brute Elite Boilers must never be
installed on carpeting. The location for the appliance should
be chosen with regard to the vent pipe lengths and external
plumbing and on a level surface. The unit shall be installed
such that the gas ignition system components are protected
from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during operation
and service (circulator replacement, control replacement, etc.).
When vented vertically, the Brute Elite must be located as
close as practical to the vertical section of the vent. If the vent
terminal and/or combustion air terminal terminate through a
wall, and there is potential for snow accumulation in the local
area, both terminals should be installed at an appropriate level
above grade or the maximum expected snow line.
The dimensions and requirements that are shown in Table 1
should be met when choosing the locations for the appliance.
2.2 LocatingApplianceforCorrectVent
DistancefromOutsideWallor
RoofTermination
The forced draft combustion air blower in the appliance has
sufcient power to vent properly when the guidelines in Table
2 are followed.
NOTE: When located on the same wall, the Brute Elite
combustion air intake terminal must be installed a
minimum of 12” below the exhaust terminal.Models 399850 also require a minimum horizontal distance from
intake to exhaust terminal of 36”.
For concentric vent terminal kit (optional), follow installation
instructions included with the kit.

Installations in the U.S. require exhaust vent pipe that is a combination
of PVC & CPVC complying with ANSI/ASTM D1785 F441 or stainless
steel complying with UL1738. Installations in Canada require exhaust
vent pipe that is certied to ULC S636.
Intake (air) pipe must be PVC or CPVC that complies with ANSI/ASTM
D1785 F441, ABS that complies with ANSI/ASTM D1527 or galvanized
material.
The installer must comply fully with the manufacturer’s installation
instructions, including use of minimum exhaust length CPVC, to main-
tain ANSI Z21.13 safety certication.
Closet and alcove installations do not allow the use of PVC under any
circumstances
To calculate max equivalent length, measure the linear feet of the pipe,
and add 5 feet (1.5m) for each 90°* elbow used.
* For any combination of vent and intake lengths up to 40 equivalent
feet, any even or uneven combination of length is allowed. For overall
lengths greater than 40 equivalent feet, the exhaust may be up to 20
feet greater than the intake length.

Section 3 VENTING AND COMBUSTION AIR
3.1 CombustionAir
Brute Elite boilers and water heaters must have provisions
for combustion and ventilation air in accordance with the
applicable requirements for Combustion Air Supply and
Ventilation in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223 1; or in
Canada, the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code, CSA
B149.1. All applicable provisions of local building codes must
also be adhered to.
A Brute Elite unit can take combustion air from the space
in which it is installed, or the combustion air can be ducted
directly to the unit. Ventilation air must be provided in either
case.
CombustionAirFromRoom
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” (300mm) of the top and one commencing within 12”
(300mm) 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 (550 square mm/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 (1100 square mm/kW) of total input rating of all
equipment in the enclosure.
Method 2: One permanent opening, commencing within
12” (300mm) 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

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 CAN/CSA B149.
DuctedCombustionAir
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, shown in Table 3a and 3b. See Table 2 to select the
appropriate diameter air pipe. When taken from the roof, a
eld-supplied rain cap or an elbow arrangement must be used
to prevent entry of rain water. (See Figure10.)
Use ABS, PVC, CPVC or galvanized pipe for the combustion
air intake. (See Table 4.) The pipe should be sized per Table
2. Route the intake to the boiler as directly as possible. Seal
all joints. Provide adequate hangers. The unit must not support
the weight of the combustion air intake pipe. Maximum linear
pipe length allowed is shown in Table 2. Subtract 5 allowable
linear ft. (1.5m) for every elbow used.
The connection for the intake air pipe is at the top of the unit.
(See Figure 9.)
In addition to air needed for combustion, air shall also be
supplied for ventilation, including air required for comfort
and proper working conditions for personnel. Refer to the
applicable codes.
The ue temperature of the Brute Elite changes
dramatically with changes in operating water
temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to assess the
application of the boiler to determine the required
certied vent class. If the Brute Elite is installed in an
application where the ambient temperature is elevated,
and/or installed in a closet/alcove, polypropylene, CPVC
or stainless steel material is required. If the system
temperatures are unknown at the time of installation,
Class IIB or higher venting material is recommended.
The Brute Elite is a Category IV appliance and may be
installed with PVC and CPVC that complies with ANSI/
ASTM D1785 F441, polypropylene that complies with
ULC-S636 Class IIb, or a stainless steel venting system that
complies with UL 1738 Standard. (See Table 5.)
The unit’s vent can terminate through the roof, or through an
outside wall.
When using PVC/CPVC for vent material, venting must be
connected to the CPVC section included with Brute Elite
sizes 80-850. The CPVC vent section included with the Brute
Elite may be broken by CPVC ttings if necessary, but never
reduced in total length. See Table 2 to select the appropriate
vent pipe diameter. When using polypropylene, all vent
material must be produced by the same manufacturer, and
have a ULC-S636 rating.
3.2 Venting
WARNING
Failure to use polypropylene CPVC or stainless steel
venting for the rst 20” (285-600) / 30” (80-210) of vent
material or for any part of the venting that is installed
inside a closet may lead to property damage, personal
injury or death. The proper length of this material is
supplied with boiler. Boilers in the U.S. may use pipe
included with the boiler.
Failure to use the appropriate vent material, installation
techniques, glues/sealants could lead to vent failure
causing property damage, personal injury or death.
All venting must be installed according to this manual
and any other applicable local codes, including but
not limited to, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, CSA B149.1,
CSAB149.2 and ULC-S636. Failure to follow this manual
and applicable codes may lead to property damage,
severe injury, or death.

All installations should be done following the vent supplier’s
recommended installation techniques. If manufacturer’s
instructions are not available for the material used, follow the
Bradford White recommendations.
The vent pipe must pitch upward, toward the vent terminal,
not less than 1/4” per foot, so that condensate will run back
to the Brute Elite to drain. Route 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. Please see Table
2 for proper diameter vs. length allowed.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT COMMON VENTING: A
single vent that is shared by multiple Brute Elite units
MUST be engineered by a competent venting specialist,
and involves the selection of draft inducing equipment,
hardware and controls to properly balance ue gas
pressures. Do not common vent Brute Elite units

VentingRequirementsUniquetoCanada
Brute Elite boilers and water heaters are Vent Category IV
appliances. Per the requirements of CAN/CSA-B149.1,
only BH vent systems can be connected to these units and
such vent systems, either ULC S636 certied stainless steel
or other ULC S636 certied BH vent (eg. plastics) must be
installed per the vent manufacturer’s certied installation
instructions.
As a result, two items listed in the Unpacking section (Figure
8) are not included with Brute Elite units for Canada
(underlined):
Class II venting systems are suitable for gas-red appliances
producing ue gas temperatures of 135°C or less.
Class II venting systems are further classied into four
temperature ratings as follows:
A Up to and including 65°C
B Up to and including 90°C
C Up to and including 110°C, and
D Up to and including 135°C
IMPORTANT! It is also the responsibility of the installer
to ensure that a ue gas sampling port is installed in the vent
system. This ue gas sampling port must be installed near the
ue connection of the Brute Elite unit: within 2 feet of the
ue connection. There is no ue gas sampling port internal
to the Brute Elite, so one must be installed in the vent system
external to the Brute Elite unit. A ue gas sampling port
available as a component of the ULC S636 certied vent
system is preferred. However, if one is not available with
the certied vent system, Bradford White suggests using a
tee with the branch connection sized to allow for insertion
of a ue gas analyzer probe. The branch connection must be
resealable with a cap or other by other means to ensure the
vent system remains sealed. (See Figure 11.)
Consideration must be given to the placement and orientation
of the ue gas sampling port to ensure that condensate is free
to ow back into the Brute Elite unit and not collect anywhere
in the vent system - including in the ue gas sampling port.
An exhaust vent terminal must be installed. If an exhaust
vent terminal is not available with the certied vent system,
Bradford White suggests the use of a coupler tting from the
certied vent system into which the vent terminal screen,

and combustion air pipes per the Venting and Combustion Air
section of the Brute Elite instructions.
3.3 LocatingVentandCombustionAir
Terminals
SideWallVentTerminal
The appropriate Bradford White side wall vent terminal
must be used. The terminal 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 points
listed on the following page when installing the terminal.
1. Figure 12 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. Whenever possible, avoid locations
under windows or near doors.
5. 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.
6. Locate the terminal so the vent exhaust does not settle
on building surfaces or other nearby objects. Vent
products may damage surfaces or objects.
7. If the boiler or water heater uses ducted combustion air
from an intake terminal located on the same wall, see
Figures 12-14 for proper spacing and orientation.
If the vent termination is located in an area exposed to high
winds, an optional PVC tee (the same diameter as the vent
pipe) may be used. The tee’d vent termination offers greater
protection from wind related operating issues.
damage by accident or vandalism. It must be at least 7
feet (2.1m) above a public walkway.
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 (30cm) above grade, but the
installer may determine it should be higher, depending
upon local conditions.
4. If the Brute Elite is side-wall vented to the same wall,
locate the vent terminal at least 1 foot (0.3m) above the
combustion air terminal.
5. For concentric vent, follow instructions included
with vent kit.
6. Multiple vent kits should be installed such that the
horizontal distance between the outlet group and the
inlet group is 36” (90cm). (See Figure 13.)
7. The vent outlet for models 80-285 must be no lower
than the center of the air inlet, and must be at least 12”
(30cm) away from the air inlet. Vent outlets for models
399-850 must be at least 12” above the top of the air
inlet, and must be at least 36” (90cm) horizontally from
the air inlet. (See Figure 14.)
VerticalVentTerminal
When the unit is vented through the roof, the vent must extend
at least 3 feet (0.9m) above the point at which it penetrates
the roof. It must extend at least 2 feet (0.6m) higher than
any portion of a building within a horizontal distance of 10
feet (3.0m), and high enough above the roof line to prevent
blockage from snow. The vent terminal included with the
Brute Elite can be used in both vertical and horizontal
applications. When the combustion air is taken from the roof,
the combustion air must terminate at least 12” (30cm) below
the vent terminal. (See Figure 10.)
VerticalCombustionAirTerminal
When combustion air is taken from the roof, a eld-supplied
rain cap or an elbow arrangement must be used to prevent
entry of rain water. (See Figure 10.) The opening on the end
of the terminal must be at least 12” (30cm) above the point at
which it penetrates the roof, and high enough above the roof
line to prevent blockage from snow. When the vent terminates
on the roof, the combustion air must terminate at least 12”
(30cm) below the vent terminal.
SideWallCombustionAirTerminal
The Bradford White side wall combustion air terminal, or
concentric terminal must be used when the heater takes air
from a side wall. (See Table 3.) Contact Bradford White for
AL29-4C termination ttings. Consider the following when
installing the terminal. (See Figures 12-14.)
1. Do not locate the air inlet terminal near a source of
corrosive chemical fumes (e.g., cleaning uid, chlorine
compounds, etc.)
2. Locate the terminal so that it will not be subject to

3.4 Common Vent Test
NOTE: This section does not describe a method for
common venting Brute Elite units. It describes what
must be done when a unit is removed from a common
vent system. Brute Elite units require special vent
systems and fans for common vent. Contact the factory
if you have questions about common venting Brute Elite
units.
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.
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 deciencies
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 the thermostat so the
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 and
guidelines in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1
NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1, Installation Codes.
Section 4 GAS SUPPLY AND PIPING
Gas piping should be supported by suitable hangers or oor
stands, not the appliance.
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 Elite will function
properly without the use of high altitude modication at
elevations up to 10,000 feet (3050 m).
2. The maximum inlet gas pressure must not exceed 13”
W.C. (3.2kPa). The minimum inlet gas pressure is 4”
W.C. (1.0kPa).
3. Refer to Tables 6a, 6b, 6c and 6d to size the piping.
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 liqueed 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:
Open ame can cause gas to ignite and result in
property damage, severe injury, or loss of life.
NOTE: The Brute Elite appliance and all other gas ap-
pliances 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.
Some Brute Elite units are equipped with low and high
gas pressure switches that are integrally vent limited.
These types of devices do not require venting to atmosphere.

Section 6A WATER CONNECTIONS BNTH BOILER
Section 6 is divided into two parts. Section
6A covers BNTH units designed for hydronic
heating. Section 6B covers BNTV models,
which are designed exclusively for “volume
water” domestic hot water applications. Refer
to the proper section for instructions on
installing and piping your product. Refer to
Table 9 for the connection pipe sizes required.
6A.1 BNTHSystemPiping-
HotSupplyConnections
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” (2.5cm)
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.
Page 17
Brute Elite’s efciency is higher with lower return
water temperatures. Therefore, to get the most of low return
temperature with multiple boilers, pipe as shown in Figures 17-19.
Brute Elite BNTV models 150-500 can be ordered with or
without a pump included.
Brute Elite BNTH models 80-500 can also be ordered with or
without a pump included.
Brute Elite with a pump MUST be piped in a primary-
secondary fashion (using either piping or a hydraulic
separator) such that the pump that is mounted on the boiler
ONLY serves the boiler.
When the pump is supplied by Bradford White, the Brute Elite
boiler must be located within 15 feet (4.6m) of the supply and
return header (or the hydraulic separator). Pumps supplied by
Bradford White are sized for a maximum of 30 feet (9.1m)
of connection size piping and the headloss of the boiler only.
(See Table 7.)
If longer pipe lengths are required, the pump should be sized
for the boiler per Table 7 and for the piping it will serve,
and should be supplied to job separately. Even with pumps
supplied by others, Bradford White strongly recommends
primary-secondary piping.
6A.2BNTHColdWaterMake-Up
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.

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.

6A.3CondensateDrain
A condensate drain trap is built into the Brute Elite unit.
Connect a 3/4” PVC pipe between the drain connection and
a oor drain (or a condensate pump if a oor drain is not
accessible).
The condensate drain must be installed so as to prevent
accumulation of condensate. When a condensate pump is not
used, the tubing must continuously slope downward toward
the drain with no spiraling.
Consult local codes for the proper disposal method for the
condensate.
Caution
Condensate is mildly acidic (pH = 5), and may harm
some oor drains and/or pipes, particularly those
that are metal. Ensure that the drain, drainpipe,
and anything that will come in contact with the
condensate can withstand the acidity, or neutralize
the condensate before disposal. Damagecausedby

a 20°F to 25°F temperature rise through the boiler.
NOTE: Bradford White supplied pumps are not all
capable of maintaining the reduced temperature rise
required with glycol concentrations greater than 35%.
If glycol concentrations required are greater than 35% a
eld supplied pump should be used.
Caution
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 specications, or the glycol
manufacturer, for information about specic products,
maintenance of solutions, and set up according to your
particular conditions.
6A.5BNTHSuggestedPipingSchematics
Figures 15 through 21 show suggested piping congurations
for BNTH boilers. These diagrams are only meant as a guide.
All components or piping required by local code must be
installed.
6A.4 Freeze Protection
WARNING
Glycol must not be used in domestic hot water
applications. Refer to Section 6B.4 for instructions on
BNTV, domestic hot water freeze protection.
Brute Elite units are certied for indoor use only, and are not
design-certied for placement outdoors.
Proper precautions for freeze protection are recommended
for boiler installations in areas where the danger of freezing
exists.
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 which may result in bursting of pipes, or
damage to the boiler, which could result in leaking or ooding
conditions.
Do not use automotive antifreeze. To help prevent freezing,
Bradford White recommends the use of inhibited glycol
concentrations between 20% and 35% glycol. Typically, this
concentration will serve as burst protection for temperatures
down to approximately -5°F (-20°C). If temperatures are
expected to be lower than -5°F (-20°C), glycol concentrations
up to 50% can be used. When concentrations greater than
35% are used, water ow rates must be increased to maintain
6A.6RecognizedChemicals

Section 6B WATER CONNECTIONS BNTV WATER HEATER
Section 6 is divided into two parts. Section
6A covers BNTH units designed for hydronic
heating. Section 6B covers BNTV models,
which are designed exclusively for “volume
water” domestic hot water applications. Refer
to the proper section for instructions on
installing and piping your product. Refer to
Table 9 for the connection pipe sizes required.
6B.1BNTVWaterQuality
BNTV water heaters must be installed in water conditions
of 10gpg hardness or less with a pH range of 8.2 to 9.5.
Operating the BNTV in water with higher hardness levels will
cause heat exchanger fouling, erosion, or corrosion leading
to premature component failure, reduced efciency, heat
exchanger failure or system failure. Failure of this type will
not be warranted. If the water in use exceeds the conditions
recommended, a water softener or other device should be
installed to improve water quality.
6B.2PipingRequirements
Water piping should be supported by suitable hangers and
oor stands. Do not support piping with the appliance. Due
to expansion and contraction of copper pipe, consideration
should be given to the type of hangers and supports used.
Rigid hangers may transmit noise through the system resulting
from piping sliding in the hangers. It is recommended that
padding be used when rigid hangers are installed. Maintain 1”
(2.5cm) clearance to combustibles for hot water pipes.
Pipe the discharge of the relief valve (full size) to the drain or
in a manner to prevent injury in the event of pressure relief.
Install a diaphragm-type expansion tank, ow check, and
shutoff valves where needed or as required by code.
Brute Elite 150-500 can be ordered with pumps. Whether the
factory pumps or other pumps are installed the piping should
be installed such that the pump supplies ow to the heater it
is attached to only. The factory pumps are sized for 30 feet
and 6 elbows of total pipe length, so the heater should be
placed within 15 feet of the tank. If longer runs are required, a
properly-sized eld-supplied pump should be used.
NOTES:
1. Optional CWMU & Recirc. line location.
2. Locate BNTV DHW sensor or remote aquastat well
in lower 1/3 of tank.
3. Back ow preventer may be required - check local codes.
4. Thermal expansion tank may be required - check local codes.
5. Factory mounted pumps are sized for a max pipe length of
30’ total, 6-90° elbows, full pipe size.
6. Caution:Pumpsizingmustbebasedonwaterhardnessatjobsite.
WARNING: This drawing shows
suggested piping conguration and
valving. Check with local codes and
ordinances for additional requirements.

6B.3ColdWaterMake-Up
The cold water make-up may be connected to the tank or to
the inlet of the boiler as shown in Figures 22-25. Install back
ow preventers and shut offs where needed or required by
code. Pipe sizes may have to be increased to accomodate cold
water make-up ow.
6A.4CondensateDrain
A condensate drain trap is built into the Brute Elite unit.
Connect a 3/4” PVC pipe between the drain connection and
a oor drain (or a condensate pump if a oor drain is not
accessible).
The condensate drain must be installed so as to prevent
accumulation of condensate. When a condensate pump is not
used, the tubing must continuously slope downward toward
the drain with no spiraling.
Consult local codes for the proper disposal method for the

responsibility.
6B.5 Freeze Protection
Brute Elite heaters are not certied for outdoor installation,
so the chance of freezing is minimized. In an event such as
power outage, component failure or other issue when freezing
is likely, the heater and system must be drained to avoid the
risk of damage due to freezing. Glycol must not be used in
volume water heating applications.
6B.6BNTVSuggestedPipingSchematics
Figures 23-25 show suggested piping congurations for
BNTV boilers. These diagrams are only meant as guides.
All components or piping required by local code must be
installed.
6B.7 BNTV Suggested Pumps
Possible pumps for BNTV sizes 600-850 are Grundfos
model TP 40-160/2B, or for size 600 (only) is Armstrong
model E22B. See Table 8 for heater water ow and head
requirements.
Note - The head loss for the piping, ttings, and accessories
must be calculated and added to the heater head loss to get the
total required pump head. An undersized pump will result in
insufcient ow. The can result in scale buildup and failure
of the heat exchanger.

The controller for this unit uses three levels of password
protection:
User Level Some of the settings can be changed or
read by anyone, without a password.
These non-critical adjustments and
functions include setting the Central
Heat and Domestic Hot Water
setpoints, monitoring the input and
output variables, reading parameters
from the controller, and reading the
error log.
Installer Level Settings that might affect the safe
operation of the unit can only be

changed by a trained technician who
enters a password. These include
setup and parameter changes made
when the system is installed, and
some diagnostic and troubleshooting
functions. The installer level password
is “lnt” (lower case “LNT”).
OEM Level Some of the settings can only be
changed at the Bradford White factory.
Once you enter a password, the password access remains
valid until you exit to the normal no-password state. If you
do not make any edits for 10 minutes, the password access
will be cancelled.
The areas on the Login display are arranged a bit like a
computer keyboard.
• To enter a letter or number, use the Up-, Down-, Left- and
Right-Arrow buttons to highlight the character you want
to use, then press the round OK button. You will see the

are lower-case (not capitals). If you want to use an uppercase letter, rst move to the area for Shift and press the
round OK button. Now, any letters that you enter will
appear as capitals. To go back to lower-case letters, go
back to the area for Shift and press the round OK button
again.
• The blank area at the bottom of the screen is a space bar.
• The “BS” (BackSpace) area acts as a delete key. To delete
a letter, move down and highlight the “BS” area. Now,
each time you press the round OK button, the system will
delete one character from the right end of the line.
• When the characters in the line at the top of the screen are
correct, move to the OK space at the bottom of the screen,
and press the round OK button. This will send the new
“string” of characters to the controller.

Section 8B BASIC INSTALLATION AND WIRING
Section 8 is divided into three parts. Section 8A includes instructions for using the Quick Start
Menu. Section 8B covers basic installation and wiring. Section 8C includes more detailed setup
instructions and wiring diagrams.
8B.1 InstallationWarnings
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
the 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. Electrocution can result in severe injury or
death.
Single pole switches, including those of safety
controls and protective devices, must not be wired in
a grounded line.
All electrical connections are made on the terminal
blocks that are located inside the control panel.
Wiring connections are shown in Figure 34.
All internal electrical components have been
prewired. No attempt should be made to connect
electrical wires to any other location except the
terminal blocks.

Caution
The supply voltage to the Brute Elite unit must not
be disconnected, except for service or isolation, or
unless otherwise instructed by procedures outlined
in this manual. To signal a call for heat, use the 24V
eld interlock, as shown in the wiring diagram.
DO NOT MAKE AND BREAK THE LINE VOLTAGE
TO THE Brute Elite UNIT TO SIGNAL A CALL FOR
HEAT. A call for heat/ end call for heat MUST be
connected to the eld interlock terminals. Some
Brute Elite components are designed to have
constant voltage during normal operation. If the
Brute Elite’s supply voltage is toggled as a call for
heat signal, premature failure of these components
may result.
The Brute Elite unit does not recognize 4mA as a
signal to shut off. If the call for heat is not connected
between the eld interlock terminals, the Brute
Elite will remain in low re when it sees 4mA as a
modulating signal.
8B.2 MainPowerConnections
Connect a 15A fused, 120-volt supply to the main power
switch. (The hot leg is connected directly to the switch.)
The neutral leg is connected directly to the white wire. The
ground wire can be connected to the grounding lug on the
control panel. (See Fig. 34.)
8B.3 PumpConnectionsandOperation
The controller in the Brute Elite energizes the pump contacts
when it receives a call for heat. Once the call for heat is
satised, the pump will remain on for the dened pump
overrun time.
The Boiler Pump terminals (TB5 - max 7.4 FLA) are fed
by 120V (violet wire) internally from the main power feed.
The System and DHW contacts are dry contacts. Appropriate
voltage must be supplied to the System and DHW pumps for
proper operation.
The System pump connections are located on terminal block
5 (TB5) in the control panel. (See Figure 34.) The System
pump contacts are rated for 120Vac, 7.4 Amps. To use the
contacts, power must be supplied on one terminal with the
other terminal wired to the pump or a relay controlling the
pump.
The DHW pump connections are located on terminal block
5 (TB5) in the control panel and are rated for 120Vac, 7.4
Amps. To use the contacts, power must be supplied on one
terminal, and the other terminal wired to the pump or a relay
controlling the pump.
Additional 120VAC circuits may be required for the pumps.
Once the unit has been installed and set up, the Quick Start
menu provides a simple way to change the most common
settings used in a typical installation. (If your installation is
more complex, refer to Section 8C.) To reach the Quick Start
menu, press the “I” button (“Info/Install”), then press the
Quick Start menu item.

DETAILEDSETUPINSTRUCTIONSandDIAGRAMS
Section 8 is divided into three parts. Section 8A includes instructions for using the Quick Start
Menu. Section 8B covers basic installation and wiring. Section 8C includes more detailed setup
instructions and wiring diagrams.
8C.1 24VACTransformer
withIntegralCircuitBreaker
24Vac is supplied by a transformer mounted underneath the
control panel. All 24Vac power is supplied through a circuit
breaker that is part of the transformer. The transformer is then
connected to terminal blocks 3 and 4 (TB3 and TB4).
8C.2 HydronicHeatingDemand
When using the Brute Elite for hydronic heating, a call for
heat must be supplied to the “T-T or Interlock” terminal. Once
the call is supplied, the control starts the Boiler and System
pumps, and begins the ignition process. The ignition process
consists of a prepurge, trial for ignition, and run period. The
prepurge period starts on a call for heat once the fan RPM
reaches a preset level. The trial for ignition period follows
once the start-up RPM of the fan has been reached. The trial
for ignition period lasts four seconds, During this period the
direct spark ignition system and gas valve are energized.
At the end of the trial for ignition period, the ame signal is
compared with the preset ame threshold value. If the ame
signal is higher than the ame threshold, the Brute Elite enters
Run. If the ame signal is below the threshold, the Brute Elite
returns to prepurge and starts the ignition process over. When
operating in Run, the Brute Elite monitors the ame signal,
call for heat input, safety switches, and water temperatures
and modulates as needed between 100% and 20% of rate to
satisfy the call for heat.
Connect the call for heat to terminal block 7 (TB7),
connections labeled “T-T or interlock” in the control panel.
The CH Setpoint can be set from the Quick Start menu.
How to get there: From the “Home” screen, press “I” to
go to “Info/ Install.” Choose “Quick Start,” then go to
“CH Setpoint.”
8C.3 Anti-Short-Cycle(ASC)
The anti short cycle function helps to prevent short-cycling
when the call for heat switches on and off quickly.
To reach the anti-short-cycle function, select Info/ Advanced
Setup/ System Cong./ System Cong.
How to get there: From the “Home” screen, press “I”
to go to “Info/ Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,” then
“System Conguration,” then “System Conguration”
again.
8C.4 OutdoorAirTemperatureSensor
The outdoor air temperature sensor is used with the Outdoor
Reset and Warm Weather Shutdown functions.
Connect the outdoor air temperature sensor to terminal block
7 (TB7), using the connections labeled Outdoor Temp Sensor.
8C.5 Outdoor Reset
About Outdoor Reset -
The Outdoor Reset feature calculates a correction for the
hydronic (Central Heat) setpoint depending on the outdoor
temperature. This allows the system to compensate for
changes in the outdoor temperature and run more efciently.
(If the unit will operate as part of a Lead/Lag system, the
Outdoor Reset function will adjust the Lead/Lag setpoint. For
details, see “About Lead/Lag Operation” - Section 8C.8.)
The graph below shows how the system will behave at
different outdoor temperatures:

Outdoor Temperature °F
Fig.37–OutdoorResetOperation
In the graph shown above, the sloping line shows the setpoint
which is actually used by the system. Without Outdoor Reset,
this would be a constant 130°F (or whatever other value you
choose), regardless of the outdoor temperature. The line in
the graph would run straight across the display. However,
with the Outdoor Reset feature turned on, the system will
adjust for changes in the outdoor temperature. Let’s take a
detailed look at the way the setpoint is adjusted.
• For cold outdoor temperatures (below 32°F), the setpoint
remains unchanged (130°F).
Page 43
BRUTE ELITE
Page 39
• As the temperature begins to rise above 32°F, the Outdoor
Reset function causes the setpoint to be lowered. At these
warmer temperatures, the heating load on the system is
not as great, so the system does not have to reach as high a
temperature to handle the load.
• As you can see from the display, at an outdoor temperature
of about 70°F, the system stops adjusting the setpoint.
Above 70°F, the setpoint is constant at 100°F (or another
value that you choose).
When Outdoor Reset is enabled, and the outdoor temperature
falls between the maximum and minimum outdoor
temperatures (70° and 32° in the example above), the setpoint
will be adjusted down by about .8° for every 1° increase in
the outdoor temperature (See Figure 37). For example, if the
outdoor temperature rises by 10°, the Outdoor Reset function
will adjust the setpoint down by about 5°. This ratio between
outdoor temperature and water temperature is adjustable.
Here are instructions for setting up the Outdoor Reset
function. Notice that these instructions will be different,
depending on whether you have a single boiler or more than
one boiler (using Lead/Lag operation).
Wiring Connections -
Connect the outdoor temperature sensor:
If your system has just one boiler –
Connect the sensor across terminals 1 and 2 on TB-7.
If your system has more than one boiler, and is controlled
using the Lead/ Lag function –
Connect the sensor across terminals 1 and 2 on TB-7 on the
boiler which will be used as the Lead/Lag Master.
Setting Up the Control Functions -
1. Enable the Outdoor Reset function:
Note: This function can be Enabled/Disabled only by a
factory trained technician.
2. Set the maximum outdoor temperature:
If the outdoor temperature reaches this value or above, the
system will use the Low Water Temp value as the setpoint. In
the example shown earlier, the Max. Outdoor Temp. is set to
70°F. If the outdoor temperature rises above 70°F, the system
will use 100°F (the Low Water Temp.) as the setpoint.
If your system has just one boiler –
How to get there: From the “Home” screen, press “I”
to go to “Info/ Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,”
then go to “CH Conguration.” Select “Outdoor Reset
Conguration.” Set the value on the line for “Max.
Outdoor Temp.”
If your system has more than one boiler, and is controlled
using the Lead/ Lag function –
How to get there: From the “Home” screen, press “I” to
go to “Info/ Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,” then go
to “Lead/ Lag Conguration.” Select “Lead/ Lag Outdoor
Reset.” Set the value on the line for “Max. Outdoor Temp.”
3. Set the minimum outdoor temperature:
If the outdoor temperature drops to this value or below, the
system will not compensate for the outdoor temperature. In
the example shown earlier, the Min. Outdoor Temp. is set to
32°F. If the outdoor temperature is below 32°F, the system
will use the normal system setpoint (130°F in this example).
If your system has just one boiler –
How to get there: From the “Home” screen, press “I”
to go to “Info/ Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,”
then go to “CH Conguration.” Select “Outdoor Reset

using the Lead/ Lag function –
How to get there: From the “Home” screen, press “I” to
go to “Info/ Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,” then go
to “Lead/ Lag Conguration.” Select “Lead/ Lag Outdoor
Reset.” Set the value on the line for “Min. Outdoor Temp.”
4. Set the low water temperature:
If the outdoor temperature reaches the Max. Outdoor Temp. or
higher, the system will use the Low Water Temp value as the
new setpoint. In the example shown earlier, the Max. Outdoor
Temp. is set to 70°F. If the outdoor temperature reaches 70°F
or above, the system will use the Low Water Temp. value
(example - 100°F) as the setpoint.
If your system has just one boiler –
How to get there: From the “Home” screen, press “I”
to go to “Info/ Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,”

ring if the outdoor temperature rises above a temperature
you set. Notice that this affects the central heat or hydronic
function only. If a call for domestic hot water arrives, the unit
will still re and respond to that. Warm Weather Shutdown
requires the connection of an outdoor temperature sensor. See
Section 8C.4. (If Outdoor Reset is active, the same sensor can
be used for both functions.)
Here are instructions for setting up the Warm Weather
Shutdown function. Notice that these instructions will be
different, depending on whether your system has a single
boiler or more than one boiler (using Lead/Lag operation).

8C.7 DomesticHotWater
A Brute Elite unit can be congured to supply domestic hot
water (DHW) as a stand-alone “volume” unit (DHW models)
or as a secondary function while the unit also provides
hydronic heating. The piping used to supply domestic hot
water (DHW) can be set up in several different ways. See
Section 6 for details. In this section, we will describe the
wiring and control setup for several different types of DHW
supplies.
DANGER
• Water temperature over 125°F (52°C) can cause
severe burns instantly or death from scalds.
• Children, disabled and elderly are at hightest risk of
being scalded.
• Set the water temperature carefully as described
below.
• Feel the water before
bathing or showering.
• If this appliance is used to
produce water that could
scald if too hot, such
as domestic hot water
use, adjust the outlet
control (limit) or use temperature limiting valves to
obtain a maximum water temperature of 125°F (52°C).
Page 45
BRUTE ELITE
Page 41
DHW Temperature Setting -
Regardless of the type of DHW setup, the setpoint adjustment
is made the same way.
How to get there: From the “Home” screen, press “I” to
go to “Info/ Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,” then go
to “DHW Setpoint.”
Hydronic Heating with
Domestic Hot Water (DHW) Priority -
When using the Brute Elite for hydronic heating with
domestic hot water priority, a call for heat must be supplied
to the “T-T or Interlock” terminal. Once the call is supplied,
the control starts the Boiler and System pumps and begins the
ignition process. Once in Run, the Brute Elite monitors the
ame signal, call for heat, safeties, and water temperatures
modulating as needed between 100% and 20% of rate to
satisfy the call for heat. When a DHW demand is applied
during a hydronic call for heat, the priority feature forces the
boiler to switch to the DHW demand for the priority time.
The DHW priority demand forces the control to operate to the
DHW setpoint, de-energizes the System pump and energizes
the DHW pump.
The domestic hot water temperature sensor or an aquastat
is used to monitor the DHW demand. The control uses the
DHW sensor to control the operation and modulation rate of
the appliance when there is a DHW demand.
Domestic Hot Water Demand - BNTV only -
The “BNTV” Brute Elite units are designed to provide
“volume water” DHW in conjunction with a storage tank.
When the BNTV model Brute Elite is used in this application,
a call for heat must be supplied to the “DHW stat” terminal
located on terminal block 6 (TB6). The DHW heating call
can be from the supplied DHW sensor or from an aquastat. If
the DHW sensor is used, the heater operates to maintain the
temperature at the DHW sensor. (This may allow the actual
heater outlet water temperature to exceed the DHW sensor
setpoint.) If an aquastat is used to supply the DHW demand,
the heater’s ring rate is controlled by the DHW setpoint
temperature and the water temperature at the heat exchanger
outlet.
When the unit receives the DHW call, the control starts the
Boiler and DHW pumps and begins the ignition process. Once
in Run, the Brute Elite monitors the ame signal, call for
heat, safeties, and water temperatures modulating as needed
between 100% and 20% of rate to satisfy the call for heat.
Hydronic Heating Using Local Lead-Lag/Cascading
Feature with Indirect Hot Water -
(For a complete explanation of the Lead/Lag system, see
Section 8C.8.)
When using the Lead/Lag boiler system to provide indirect
domestic hot water heating, the DHW demand should be
supplied to the Master boiler through the existing DHW
terminals. The Lead/Lag system will change the operating
mode of just the Master boiler to supply water at the DHW
setpoint. The remaining boilers on the system will continue to
supply hydronic heating.
When the system is supplying both hydronic heat and
domestic hot water at the same time, both the System pump
and DHW pump contacts are closed, so special attention must
be paid to allow for proper operation. In applications serving
both hydronic and domestic heating, during a DHW call the
Boiler pump on the Master boiler may need to be turned
off. The DHW pump will provide ow through the boiler
and indirect tank when there is a DHW call. (This means the
DHW pump must be sized properly.) To turn off the boiler
pump in this application, the “boiler pump interrupt” jumper
must be installed. The terminal block location is terminal
block 5 (TB5) at the contacts labeled “boiler pump interrupt”
in the control panel.
Sensor Connection for Domestic Hot Water -
Connect the DHW sensor or aquastat.
If your system has just one boiler –
Connect the sensor across terminals 5 and 6 on TB6.
If your system has more than one boiler, and is controlled
using the Lead/ Lag function –
On the unit used as the Lead/ Lag Master only, connect the
sensor across terminals 5 and 6 on TB6.
Domestic Hot Water Heating
Using External Modulation Control -
When the Brute Elite is used for DHW heating with external
modulation control, a call for heat must be supplied to the
“T-T or Interlock” terminal. By supplying a call to the “T-T
or interlock” terminal, the operating temperature setpoint
defaults to the hydronic heating setpoint, so all of the temperature adjustments must be made to the hydronic setpoint.
When the unit receives the call, the control starts the Boiler
and System pumps and begins the ignition process. Once in
Run, the Brute Elite monitors the ame signal, call for heat,
safeties, and water temperatures. The heater setpoint is used
to limit the maximum water temperature leaving the boiler
only. The modulation rate is controlled by a 4-20mA signal
supplied by an external control. (This can also be 0-10Vdc using a converter.) When setting up a system using an external
control, take care to set Anti-Short Cycle feature to prevent
“hunting “ and possible premature component failure.
Page 46
Page 42
Boiler Pump Interrupt Function -
BRADFORD WHITE C ORP.
The Boiler pump interrupt feature is used in some applications
when the boiler is being used for both hydronic and domestic
hot water heating. The interrupt jumper is used to turn off
the boiler pump during a domestic hot water demand. For
this to work properly the system must be plumbed and
pumped to allow the DHW pump to supply the ow and head
requirements for both the boiler and indirect water heater. It is
not necessary to use the interrupt jumper in all applications.
To turn off the Boiler pump in this situation, the “boiler pump
interrupt” jumper should be installed between R1 and R2 on
TB5.
If your system includes several boilers, is controlled using the
Lead/Lag system, and the indirect DHW tank is connected
to the boiler acting as the Lead/Lag master, install the boiler
interrupt jumper on the Lead/Lag master only.
WARNING
Failure to plumb, pump and install the appliance
correctly when using this feature may lead to reduced
or no water ow through the heat exchanger, causing
premature failure of the heat exchanger, personal
injury or death. Please consult the factory with any
questions regarding the use of this feature.
Setup for DHW Control Functions -
1. Set up the correct priority for the DHW function in relation
to Central Heat or Lead/ Lag demands. If a call for heat
and a DHW demand arrive at the same time, which will
have the higher priority?
If your system has just one boiler –
How to get there: From the “Home” screen, press “I”
to go to “Info/ Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,” then
go to “DHW Conguration.” Select “DHW Priority vs
Central Heat.”
If your system has more than one boiler, and is controlled
using the Lead/ Lag function –
How to get there: On the unit used as the Lead/Lag
Master, from the “Home” screen, press “I” to go to “Info/
Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,” then go to “DHW
Conguration.” Select DHW Priority vs Lead/Lag.”
3. Set the DHW priority time. If the DHW function has the
priority, the priority will continue during the priority time.
If your system has just one boiler –
How to get there: From the “Home” screen, press “I” to
go to “Info/ Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,” then go
to “DHW Conguration.” Select “DHW Priority Time.”
If your system has more than one boiler, and is controlled
using the Lead/ Lag function –
How to get there: On the unit used as the Lead/Lag
Master, from the “Home” screen, press “I” to go to “Info/
Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,” then go to “DHW
Conguration.” Select “DHW Priority Time.”
8C.8 CascadingLead/LagOperation
About Lead/Lag Operation -
If an installation includes two or more boilers, they may be
set up for “Lead/Lag” operation. One boiler will be set up as
the “Master”, and the others will operate as “Slaves.” Figure
38 shows an installation with four boilers. (A Lead/Lag
system can include up to eight boilers.) The boiler controllers
are connected in a “daisy chain” using a Modbus connection.
See Fig. 40.
A single System sensor is used to monitor the demand
for heat. The input from this sensor is used by the Master
controller to control the modulation rates of all of the
operating boilers.
Lead/Lag Modulation Cycle -
Note - We will explain the modulation cycle here, in case
you need to understand how the Lead/Lag system actually
operates. If you are installing the unit(s) and want to skip this
section, just remember that, as the heating demand increases,
the Lead/Lag system puts more boilers on-line. As the
heating demand is reduced, the Lead/Lag system shuts off
some of the boilers.
The signal from the System sensor is sent to the unit
operating as the Lead/Lag Master. A Run sequence is
initiated when the system temperature falls to the Lead/Lag
2. Set the setpoint for the DHW function.
If your system has just one boiler –
How to get there: From the “Home” screen, press “I” to
go to “Info/ Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,” then go

NOTE: If your Brute Elites are Lead / Lag congured,
you will nd it very useful to customize your Home
Display to show LL Operating Temp and LL Setpoint
Temp.
Please refer to Section 7.5 to learn how to customize
your Home Display. Various parameters can be displayed
on the Home Display to suit your needs.

Central Heat setpoint. (Actually this is the LL CH setpoint
less the On Hysteresis value. The default setting for On
Hysteresis is 5°F, but this is adjustable.)
Notice that, when a boiler is operating as part of a Lead/Lag
system, it does not use the normal CH setpoint – it uses the
special LL CH setpoint on the Lead/Lag Master.
The unit acting as the Lead/Lag Master decides which
boiler is assigned to start rst. This assignment is rotated
across all of the available boilers so that any one boiler
does not run signicantly longer than the others. The
Lead/Lag controller tracks the run times for all of the
boilers, and uses this to calculate the starting order for

• When the Run sequence is initiated, the boiler with the
least amount of runtime will re.
• If the heating demand increases so that the ring rate
of that rst boiler rises to your boiler congurations
Base Load Value (see Table 14), the next boiler in the
sequence will start up and begin ring at 20 to 35% fan
speed (depending on your conguration). After this, the
entire conguration of boilers will modulate up or down
together, in reaction to the changes in demand.

Figure40-Lead-Lag/CascadingWiringConnections
Wiring Connections for Lead/Lag -
Now you can make the Modbus wiring connections
between the units. The controller in each boiler includes
two wiring terminals for the Modbus system, labeled
“MB1” and “MB2.” MB1 has the wiring connections to
the User Interface display on each unit, and MB2 is used
to communicate with the other boilers in the Lead/Lag
system. See Fig. 40.
To reach the controller, open the cabinet of the boiler by
removing the plastic bezel.
The wiring from the controller on the rst boiler runs to
the controller on the next boiler. Use 22 AWG or thicker
shielded twisted-pair wire with drain. Two twisted pairs
or three conductors are needed. Wire A on MB2 of Boiler
1 must be connected to A on MB2 of Boiler 2, wire B on
Boiler 1 goes to B on Boiler 2, and wire C on Boiler 1
goes to C on Boiler 2. Repeat this wiring for any other
boilers in the system. Connect all of the drain wires and
ground the drain wire on one end of the assembly only.
Control Settings for Lead/Lag System - Part 2
1. On the Lead/Lag Master, set the setpoint used by the Lead/
Lag system.
How to get there: From the “Home” screen, press “I” to
go to “Info/Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,” then go
to “Lead/ Lag Conguration.” Select “Lead Lag Master
Conguration,” and go to the line for “Setpoint.”
2. On the Lead/Lag Master, set the Base Load to match
the number of boilers in the system. We mentioned the
Base Load setting in the explanation of the “Lead/Lag
Modulation Cycle.” Whenever the heating demand causes
the active burner(s) to run faster than the Base Load value,
the Lead/Lag system will put an additional burner on line.
The Base Load value depends on the number of boilers in
the system:
Boiler 3 Boiler 4
MB 2
User
interface
MB 2
MB 1

Note that you only need to enter the Base Load value on the
Lead/Lag Master.
How to get there: From the “Home” screen, press “I” to
go to “Info/Install.” Choose “Advanced Setup,” then go
to “Lead/ Lag Conguration.” Select “Lead Lag Master
Conguration.” Go to the line for “Base Load Common
Rate.”
8C.9 HydronicHeatingUsingExternal
ModulationControl-
About External Control -
When the Brute Elite is used for hydronic heating with
external modulation control, a call for heat must be supplied
to the “T-T or Interlock” terminal. Once the call is supplied
the control starts the Boiler and System pumps and begins the
ignition process. Once in Run, the Brute Elite monitors the
ame signal, call for heat, safeties, and water temperatures.
The boiler setpoint is used to limit the maximum water
temperature leaving the boiler only. The modulation rate
is controlled by a 4-20mA signal supplied by an external
control. (This can also be 0-10Vdc using a converter Bradford White part number CA006100.) When setting up a
system using an external control, take care to set Anti-Short
Cycle feature to prevent “hunting “ and possible premature
component failure.
Connections for External Control -
Connect the 4-20mA signal from an external control or
building automation system to terminal block 7 (TB7) in the
control panel. The connections are labeled Remote Analog
Input. When making the connections, follow the polarity
designations shown on the label.
Page 50

BRADFORD WHITE C ORP.
8C.10OptionalFieldConnections
Terminal block 8 (TB8) in the control panel can be used for
connecting optional components, such as low water cutoffs,
ow switches, additional high limits and other eld-supplied
devices that must be interlocked with the boiler. These are
non-powered dry contacts only. All safeties or end switches
must be wired in series by removing the supplied jumpers.
8C.11Connectionstoa
BuildingAutomationSystem
Brute Elite boilers can be controlled and monitored through
the included Modbus ports. The Modbus wiring should
be completed according to the diagrams shown below. If
alternate communication protocols are desired, Bradford
White offers “gateways” to allow BACnet, LON, and other
communications protocols. For additional information on
setting up Modbus and other communication protocols,
contact the factory.
Signals from a Building Automation System can be connected
to the MB2 Modbus connections on the controller. See Fig.
41. (MB1 is used to connect to the Operator Interface (UI).
If multiple boilers are connecting in a cascading Lead/ Lag
arrangement, the signals from the Building Automation
System must be brought in through a System Display. See
Fig. 42.

Section 9 FIRST START-UP AND ADJUSTMENT
INSTRUCTIONS
9.1 FillingtheBoilerSystem
1. Ensure the system is fully connected. Close all bleeding
devices and open the make-up water valve. Allow the
system to ll slowly.
2. If a make-up water pump is employed, adjust the
pressure switch on the 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 all of the bleeding devices on all radiation units
at the high points in the piping throughout the system,
unless automatic air bleeders are provided at these points.
Note - There is an air bleed located on the left side of
Brute Elite unit, on top of the water manifold.
5. Cycle the boiler pump on and off 10 times, 10 seconds
on and 10 seconds off, to remove all air from the heat
exchanger. Then run the system and appliance pumps
for a minimum of 30 minutes with the gas shut off.
WARNING
Failure to remove all air from the heat exchanger could
lead to property damage, severe injury or death.
6. Open all strainers in the circulating system, check the
operation of the ow switch (if equipped), and check
for debris. If any debris is present, clean it out to ensure
proper circulation.
7. Recheck all air bleeders as described in Step 4.
9. Start up the boiler according to the procedure listed in
this manual. Operate the entire system, including the
pump, boiler, and radiation units for one hour.
14. Prime the condensate trap with water. (This is not
required for BNTH 600, 750, and 850 units.)
15. 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.
16. 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. The main gas terminals will be energized, and
attempt to light, for four seconds, and then will de-
energize. The unit will go into lockout after the required
number of trial for ignition periods.
Next, turn the power Off, and then On again. Press
the manual reset button on the boiler control, 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.
17. Within three days of start-up, recheck all air bleeders
and the expansion tank as described in Steps 4 and 8
above.
ImportantNote: 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. Bradford White Corporation requires boilers
and water heaters to be replaced, not repaired, if they
have been partially or completely submerged.
9.2 FirstOperation
Caution
The initial 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 boiler resulting
from improper setup is not covered by the limited
warranty.
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 the make-up water valve and check the strainer
in the pressure reducing valve for sediment or debris
from the make-up water line. Reopen the make-up water
valve.
13. Check the gauge for correct water pressure and also
check the 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.
REQUIRED TOOLS: differential pressure gauge capable of
reading negative 0.01 inches W.C. (0.002kPa), screw drivers,
Torx bits, combustion analyzer.
1. Using this manual, make sure the installation is

result in severe injury or death.
10.1SystemMaintenance
Do this once a year, unless otherwise noted.
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 moBNTHs.
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 area around the appliance clear and free of
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.
6. Low water cutoffs, if installed, should be checked every
year. Float-type low water cutoffs should be ushed
periodically.
7. Inspect and clean the condensate collection, oat switch
and disposal system yearly.
8. When a means is provided to neutralize the condensate,
ensure that the condensate is being neutralized properly.
9. Inspect the ue passages, and clean with a brush or
vacuum if necessary. Sooting in ue passages indicates
improper combustion. Determine the cause for this and
correct it.
10. Inspect the vent system and air intake system, and
ensure that all joints are sealed properly. If any joints
need to be resealed, completely remove any existing
sealing material, and clean the joint(s) with alcohol.

TransformerwithIntegralCircuitBreaker
The appliance has a 24Vac transformer with integral 4 amp
circuit breaker installed to supply the control voltage required
for the appliance. The transformer is sized to provide power
for the Brute Elite unit only, and should not be used to supply
power to additional eld devices. If additional loads are
added, or a short occurs during installation, the integral circuit
breaker may trip. If this happens, be sure to reset the circuit
breaker before replacing the transformer.
The transformer is mounted underneath the control panel.
If the transformer must be replaced, turn off the 120Vac
power to the appliance. Remove the transformer wires
from the terminal blocks. Remove the fasteners holding the
transformer, then remove the transformer. Replace with a new
transformer in the reverse order.
If the transformer is replaced with a part other than the OEM
transformer, be sure to add circuit protection if it is not
integral to the new transformer.
WARNING
Failure to include proper circuit protection may lead to
premature component failure, re, injury or death.
Blower
The combustion air blower is a high-pressure centrifugal
blower with a variable speed motor. The speed of the motor
is determined by the control logic. 120 Volt power remains
on to the blower at all times. If the blower must be changed,
turn off the 120 Volt power and gas supply to the unit. Take
the front panel off. Disconnect the 120 Volt and control
signal connections from the blower. Disconnect the bolts
connecting the Venturi to the blower housing. Disconnect the
fan outlet bolts from the burner door blower arm. If the fan
is determined to be defective, replace the existing fan with a
new one, reversing the steps listed above. Be sure to install all
of the required O-rings and gaskets between the blower arm
and the blower and blower face and venturi ange.
HeatExchangerCoils
Black carbon soot buildup on the heat exchanger is caused
by one or more of the following; incomplete combustion,
combustion air problems, venting problems, or heater short
cycling. Soot buildup or other debris on the heat exchanger
may restrict the ue passages.
If black carbon soot buildup on the heat exchanger is
suspected, disconnect the electrical supply to the unit, and
turn off the gas supply by closing the manual gas valve on the
unit. Access the heat exchanger through the burner door at the
front of the boiler, and inspect the tubing using a ashlight. If
there is a buildup of black carbon soot or other debris on the
heat exchanger, clean using this procedure:
WARNING
Black carbon soot buildup on a dirty heat exchanger
can be ignited by a random spark or ame. To prevent
this from happening, dampen the soot deposits with
a wet brush or ne water spray before servicing the
heat exchanger.
1. Shut off the 120 Volt power supply to the boiler
2. Turn off all manual gas valves connecting the boiler to
the main gas supply line.
3. For NT 600 models only:
(All other sizes please skip to step four)
NT 600 models will require the gas valve to be removed
in order to remove the burner door. To do this, remove
the wiring connections from the gas valve. Remove the
ange bolts from the gas supply pipe connected to the
gas valve (1B). Remove the ange bolts connecting
the gas train to the Venturi (1A). Remove the gas train
assembly, and keep the gaskets and O-rings.
4. Remove the four bolts connecting the blower ange to
the burner door arm.
5. Remove the nuts located on the outside diameter of the
burner door to the heat exchanger.
6. Remove the burner door and burner assembly from the
heat exchanger.
7. Disconnect the condensate drain line.
8. Attach a longer hose to the drain and run it to a bucket.
9. Clean the heat exchanger by brushing away any light
accumulations of soot and debris. Use a brush with soft
bristles (non metallic) to avoid damaging the surfaces of
the heat exchanger tubes.
10. Once the tubes have been brushed clean, rinse the tubes
and combustion chamber with a small amount of water
to rinse all of the debris out of the bottom of the ue
collector and into the longer condensate trap line. This
will be diverted into the separate container.
NOTE:TheWarrantydoesnotcoverdamagecaused
bylackofrequiredmaintenance,lackofwaterow,
orimproperoperatingpractices.
WARNING
Failure to rinse the debris from the heat exchanger
and temporary drain line may lead to clogged
condensate lines, traps and neutralizers. Condensate
pumps (if used) may also be damaged by the debris
left behind, possibly causing property damage.
11. Install all components removed in the reverse order
to place the appliance back in operation. Be sure all
gaskets are in place as the components are installed.
Replace any damaged gaskets. Do not reuse damaged
gaskets.

BRUTE ELITE
Page 57
12. Place the appliance in operation according to the
instructions in Section 10. Check all gas connections for
leaks. Conrm that all fasteners are tight.
OptionalGasPressureSwitches
The high and low gas pressure switches are 24V manual reset
switches that act to cut power to the gas valves if the gas
pressure is too low or too high for proper operation. The gas
pressure switches used are integrally vent limited, and do not
require venting to atmosphere. To remove a switch, remove
the screw on the plastic housing and pull the clear cover off.
Disconnect the two wires from the screw terminals. Twist
the switch off the pipe nipple. Reassemble in reverse order.
For natural gas, set the low gas pressure switch to 3” w.c. For
propane, set the low gas pressure switch to 5” w.c. For natural
and propane, set the high gas pressure switch to 14”.
10.3GasConversion
Brute Elite units can easily be converted from natural to
propane gas or from propane to natural gas in the eld. Some
units require the addition of a gas orice along with proper
gas valve adjustment. Other units require no additional
parts - only proper gas valve adjustment. Please contact the
Bradford White factory for specic information regarding the
gas conversion of a particular appliance. If a gas conversion
is performed, the unit must be identied with the appropriate
gas labels and a conversion sticker to allow technicians
performing maintenance in the future to properly identify the
type of gas being used in the appliance.

Section 11 OPERA TING DET AILS AND
TROUBLESHOOTING
11.1 NormalStartupandInitialization
When power to the unit is turned on, the controller will
automatically go through a startup and initialization
procedure. At rst the interface will display some
information about the control software. See Fig. 48.
Fig.48–FirstInitializationDisplay
Next, the interface will search for the SOLA controller that
will actually control the boiler. See Fig. 49.
Fig.49–SecondInitializationDisplay
Once the interface makes the connection to the controller,
it will display the address it is using to communicate (the
“Modbus address”). The interface will download a series of
values from the SOLA controller (or “synchronize” with the
controller).
When the synchronization is nished, the display will change
to the Home screen shown in Fig. 27.
11.2 SequenceofOperation
The Brute Elite is a cold-start appliance. It should start only
when it receives a call for heat from a tank aquastat, room
thermostat, zone valve end switch or other space temperature
control device.
1. The unit receives a call for heat.
2. The controller checks the safety chain.
3. The fan starts and waits to achieve prepurge RPM.
4. The prepurge timer is started once the prepurge RPM is
achieved.
5. There is a pre-ignition time of two seconds to check the
ame sensor operation and status. During this period an
intermittent spark can be seen.
6. Next there is a trial for ignition period of four seconds.
The direct spark ignition switches to constant spark
for three seconds. During this time the gas valve is
open. For the last second of the ignition period, direct
spark is de-energized and the ame sensor checks for
established ame. If ame is sensed, the control enters
Run to satisfy the demand. If ame is not established,
the control enters a retry, starting from step 2. If ame
has not been established after the preset number of
retries, the control will lockout with a 109 error code.
7. The call for heat signal is removed.
8. The gas valve shuts off.
9. The fan and pump continue to run for the over-run
times to purge the system.
This is the basic operating sequence of the appliance for a
DHW or hydronic call for heat.
11.3 ModulationControl
The control uses a PID algorithm to adjust the ring rate of
the boiler as the control point is approached. The goal of
the control is to operate at a minimum ring rate to match
the load on the appliance. This is done by using a setpoint,
and on/ off differentials. The control modulates to achieve
the setpoint temperature, which could be several degrees
away from the actual off point. The off point is calculated by
adding the setpoint plus the off differential. The setpoint and
differentials used in operation are dependent upon the type of
call for heat being applied. If there is a DHW call, the DHW
setpoint and off differentials are used. If there is a hydronic
call, the CH setpoint and off differentials are used. When
the setpoint plus the off differential is reached, the control
prevents the unit from ring until the water temperature
reaches the setpoint minus the on differential.
11.4 Pump Control
The control can operate three pumps. The boiler pump is
active any time there is a call for heat applied to the control.
The DHW and system pumps are active based upon the call
and priority of the heat demand being supplied. When there is
a hydronic call supplied, the system pump is active. If there
is a DHW call supplied while the hydronic call is active,
with DHW priority enabled, the system pump turns off and
the DHW pump turns on. Domestic hot water priority forces
the control to attempt to satisfy the domestic water demand
before the hydronic demand. Once the last heat demand has
been satised, the boiler pump enters an overrun time.
Page 63
BRUTE ELITE
Page 59
11.5 Anti-Short-Cycle(ASC)
Because the Brute Elite unit is a modulating boiler, and its
input will decrease when there is a reduction in the 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. The controller in the Brute Elite
unit includes an anti-short cycle (ASC) function. The timer
for the ASC can be set to delay the boiler start for a specied
time after a call for heat is completed.
11.6 TemperatureSensors
High Limit Sensor -
The control uses a dual thermistor sensor to monitor the
Brute Elite’s maximum temperature. The high limit sensor
is installed in the outlet water. A dual thermistor sensor is
used, so that the two temperatures can be monitored and
compared to conrm accuracy. The control will automatically
reduce the ring of the Brute Elite to prevent the high limit
from tripping. The high limit setpoint is factory set at 195°.
However, if desired you can set a lower limit using the
Adjustable High Limit function available from the Quick
Start menu.
Outlet Water Temperature -
The outlet water temperature is sensed by a dual thermistor
sensor, and is limit-rated. The control compares the two
temperature readings to determine accuracy. The outlet
sensor is used as the primary control point for high limit,
temperature operation, and modulation.
11.7 Diagnostics
Use the Diagnostics to check the status of the sensors and the
digital inputs and outputs. The system also records a history
of lockouts and alarms.
Analog Sensors -
You can use this display to check on operating temperatures,
fan speed, ring rate, etc. (The word “analog” refers to values
that can change continuously between zero and a higher
value.) The values shown here are “Read Only” – you can’t
change them from this display.
Digital Input/Output -
This display shows whether different functions, inputs and
outputs are either on or off. The functions listed here include
pumps, valves, alarms, etc. The values shown here are “Read
Only” – you can’t change them from this display.
History -
The system records the most recent lockouts or alerts. (If
there is a current lockout or alert, a note about this will also
appear at the bottom of the Home screen.)
• A “lockout” is a condition that will prevent the unit from
starting or running.
• An “alert” indicates a condition that is not normal. If it
continues, the control system might move to a “lockout,” or
the problem might be corrected.
11.8 Error Codes
See Appendix B.
Inlet Water Temperature -
The inlet water temperature uses a single thermistor sensor.
The heat exchanger temperature rise (delta T) is calculated
using the inputs from the outlet and inlet sensor temperatures.
Stack Limit -
The stack temperature is sensed by a dual thermistor
sensor, and is limit-rated. The control compares both of the
temperature readings to determine accuracy. The stack sensor
is used as a limiting feature to avoid excessive temperatures
in the vent.

ERROR MESSAGES
This table includes a listing of the faults that might be generated by the controller, and displayed on the Operator
Interface. Some of these can be corrected by an installer changing a parameter, while other conditions are more
complicated, and will require a service technician.
The rst column lists the code number that will appear at the beginning of the Lockout or Hold message. The second
column lists a short description of the condition. The third column shows whether the condition will cause a Hold, or
Lockout, or both. The fourth column lists some suggestions for corrective action.
