Section 2 LOCA TING THE APPLIANCE

BRADFORD WHITE C ORP.

2.1 GeneralInformation

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 certied 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 LocatingApplianceforCorrectVent

DistancefromOutsideWallor

RoofTermination

The forced draft combustion air blower in the appliance has

sufcient 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 certied 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 certication.

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 CombustionAir

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.

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” (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 to the outdoors or spaces that directly communicate with the

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.

Ducted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, 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

certied 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

unlesstheventsystemmeetsthisrequirement. BruteEliteunitsareneverpermittedtoshareavent withCategoryIappliances.

VentingRequirementsUniquetoCanada

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 certied stainless steel or other ULC S636 certied BH vent (eg. plastics) must be installed per the vent manufacturer’s certied 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 classied 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 certied vent

system is preferred. However, if one is not available with

the certied 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 certied vent system, Bradford White suggests the use of a coupler tting from the certied vent system into which the vent terminal screen,

included with the Brute Elite and shown in the Unpacking section, be installed. Be sure to install and terminate both vent and combustion air pipes per the Venting and Combustion Air section of the Brute Elite instructions.

3.3 LocatingVentandCombustionAir Terminals

SideWallVentTerminal

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.)

VerticalVentTerminal

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.)

VerticalCombustionAirTerminal

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.

SideWallCombustionAirTerminal

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 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 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 modication 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 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:

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.

BRUTE ELITE

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.

 HotSupplyConnections

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.

Brute Elite’s efciency 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.2BNTHColdWaterMake-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.

Table9-WaterConnectionPipeSizes

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.3CondensateDrain

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. Damagecausedby

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 specications, or the glycol manufacturer, for information about specic products,

maintenance of solutions, and set up according to your particular conditions.

6A.5BNTHSuggestedPipingSchematics

Figures 15 through 21 show suggested piping congurations

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 certied for indoor use only, and are not design-certied 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
