1.4 Dimensions
See Figure 1.
1.5 Locating the Appliance
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 CSAInternational for installation on combustible ooring;
in basements; in closets, utility rooms or alcoves.
Copper Brute II Water Heaters must never be
installed on carpeting. The location for the appliance
should be chosen with regard to the vent pipe lengths
and external plumbing. 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 heater
must be located as close as practical to a chimney or
outside wall. 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.
The dimensions and requirements that are shown
in Table 2 should be met when choosing the locations
for the heater.

SECTION 2.
Venting and Combustion Air
2.1 Combustion Air
Copper Brute II water heaters must have
provisions for combustion and ventilation air in
accordance with section 5.3, Air for Combustion and
Ventilation, of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1, or Sections 7.2, 7.3 or 7.4 of CSA B149.1,
Table 2. Clearances.
Installation Codes, or applicable provisions of the local
building codes.
1.6 Locating Pump-Mounted Water Heater
with Respect to Storage Tank(s)
For best results, a pump-mounted water heater
should be located within 15 feet (4.6m) of the storage
tank(s). The pump is sized for 30 feet (9.1m) of piping.
If the heater must be installed with longer piping
runs, then larger diameter pipe or tubing shall be used.
Consult the factory for assistance.
1.7 Locating Appliance for Correct
Horizontal Vent/Ducted Air Distance
From Outside Wall
The forced draft combustion air blower/blowers
in the appliance has/have sufcient power to pull air
and vent properly when the following guidelines for
horizontal air and vent are followed (see Table 1).
NOTE: On models 750-2000, the vent collar size is
larger than the size of the vent pipe that can be used.
Vent collar size and horizontal pipe diameters can
be found in Table 1. The larger vent collar size is to
accommodate Category I (vertical) vent systems.
A Copper Brute II heater may receive
combustion air from the space in which it is installed,
or it can be ducted directly to the unit from the outside.
Ventilation air must be provided in either case.
2.1.1 Combustion Air From Room
In the United States, the most common
requirements specify that the space shall communicate
with the outdoors in accordance with method 1 or 2,
which follow. Where ducts are used, they shall be of
the same cross-sectional area as the free area of the
openings to which they connect.
Method 1: Two permanent openings, one
commencing within 12 inches (30 cm) of the top
and one commencing within 12 inches (30 cm) of
the bottom, of the enclosure shall be provided. The
openings shall communicate directly, or by ducts,
with the outdoors or spaces that freely communicate
with the outdoors. When directly communicating
with the outdoors, or when communicating to the
outdoors through vertical ducts, each opening shall
have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4000
Btu/hr (5.5 square cm/kW) of total input rating of all
equipment in the enclosure. When communicating to
Page 7
Internet Version for Reference Only
Copper Brute II
Page 7
the outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening
shall have a minimum free area of not less than
1 square inch per 2000 Btu/hr (11 square cm/kW) of
total input rating of all equipment in the enclosure.
Table 3 shows data for this sizing method, for each
Copper Brute II model.
Method 2: One permanent opening, commencing
within 12 inches (30 cm) of the top of the enclosure,
shall be permitted. The opening shall directly
communicate with the outdoors or shall communicate
through a vertical or horizontal duct to the outdoors
or spaces that directly communicate with the outdoors
and shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch
per 3000 Btu/hr (7 square cm/kW) of the total input
rating of all equipment located in the enclosure. This
opening must not be less than the sum of the areas of
all vent connectors in the conned space.
Other methods of introducing combustion and
ventilation air are acceptable, providing they conform
to the requirements in the applicable codes listed
above.
In Canada, consult local building and safety
codes or, in absence of such requirements, follow CSA
B149.1.

directly as possible. Seal all joints with tape. Provide
adequate hangers. The unit must not support the
weight of the combustion air intake pipe. Maximum
linear pipe length allowed is 50 feet (15.2m). Three
elbows have been calculated into the 50-foot (15.2m)
linear run. Subtract 10 allowable linear feet (3.0m) for
every additional elbow used (see Table 1). When fewer
than 3 elbows are used, the maximum linear pipe
length allowed is still 50 feet (15.2m).

Table 4. Required Combustion Air Piping Material.
The connection for the intake air pipe is on
the lter box. The heaters may have venting and
combustion air ducting attached to the top or the back.
They are shipped with the connections at the top. For
attaching either or both pipes to the back, the mounting
anges are reversible by removing the mounting
screws and orienting the anges in the desired
position. Replace the screws after positioning anges.
Run a bead of silicone around the collar and slide the
pipe over the collar. Secure with sheet metal screws.
In addition to air needed for combustion, air
shall also be supplied for ventilation, including all air
required for comfort and proper working conditions
for personnel. The Copper Brute II loses less than 1
percent of its input rating to the room, but other heat
sources may be present.
Table 3. Combustion Air Openings.
2.1.2 Intake Combustion Air
The combustion air can be taken through the
wall, or through the roof. When taken from the wall,
it must be taken from out-of-doors by means of the
Bradford White horizontal wall terminal (see Table 1).
When taken from the roof, a eld-supplied rain cap or
an elbow arrangement must be used to prevent entry of
rain water (see Figure 2).
Use single-wall galvanized pipe, per Table
4, for the combustion air intake (see Table 1 for
appropriate size). Route the intake to the heater as

2.2 Venting
2.2.1 Vent Categories
Depending upon desired Copper Brute II venting,
it may be considered a Category I or a Category III
appliance. In general, a vertical vent system will
be a Category I system. However, in rare instances,
a Copper Brute II vertical vent system may be
considered Category III. In the U.S., the National Fuel
Gas Code (ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition), or in Canada
the CSA B149.1 (latest edition), denes a Category
I vent system, and includes rules and tables to size
these vent systems. If the Copper Brute II vertical
vent system does not satisfy the criteria for Category I
venting, it must be vented as a Category III system.
All Copper Brute II vent systems which
discharge horizontally (without the use of a power
venter) are considered Category III vent systems.
2.2.2 Category I Vent
When vented as a category I appliance, the
vent system must conform to the National Fuel Gas
Code (ANSI Z223.1-Latest Edition) in the U.S., or
in Canada, to CSA B149.1 (latest edition). The vent
system must be sized and installed for a Category I
Fan-Assisted Appliance.
If chimney height is greater than 25 feet, or
if multiple units are vented into the same vertical
vent, a barometric damper must be installed on each
appliance, such that the ue draft does not exceed
(negative) 0.1" w.c.
If using a power venter for any type of Category
I venting, the draft should be set between (negative)
0.01 and 0.10" w.c.
2.2.3 Common Venting Systems
Copper Brute II heaters are Category I fanassisted when vented vertically and adhering to all
applicable codes. Copper Brute II heaters are not
allowed to be vented into a common horizontal vent
system, unless a properly sized vent fan is used, and
the common vent system is properly designed by the
vent fan manufacturer or a qualied engineer. When
common venting Copper Brute II fan-assisted unit
with other appliances through one shared vertical duct
called a “common vent”, special care must be taken by
the installer to ensure safe operation. In the event that
the common vent is blocked, it is possible, especially
for fan-assisted devices, to vent backwards through
non-operating appliances sharing the vent, allowing
combustion products to inltrate occupied spaces.
If the appliances are allowed to operate in this
condition, serious injury or death may occur.
WARNING
Operation of appliances with a blocked common
vent may lead to serious injury or death. Safety
devices must be implemented to prevent blocked
common vent operation. If safe operation of all
appliances connected to a common vent cannot
be assured, including prevention of spillage of ue
gasses into living spaces, common venting should
not be applied, and appliances should each be
vented separately.
It is for this reason that, in addition to
following proper vent sizing, construction and safety
requirements from the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 or in Canada, from CSA B149.1 as
well as all applicable local codes, it is required that
installers provide some means to prevent operation
with a blocked common vent. It is suggested that a
blocked vent safety system be employed such that if
the switch from one appliance trips due to excessive
stack spill or back pressure indicating a blocked vent
condition, that all appliances attached to the vent be
locked out and prevented from operating. Note that
the Copper Brute II is equipped with a blocked vent
safety (pressure) switch, as shipped. However, this
safety switch has only been designed and tested to be
effective in installations where the Copper Brute II
is vented separately and NOT common vented with
other appliances. As an additional precaution, it is
recommended that a Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm be
installed in all enclosed spaces containing combustion
appliances. If assistance is required in determining
how a blocked vent safety system should be connected
to a Bradford White product, please call the Bradford
White Service Department at (800) 334-3393. Refer
to the installation and operating instructions on all
appliances to be common vented for instructions,
warnings, restrictions and safety requirements. If safe
operation of all appliances connected to a common
vent cannot be assured, including prevention of
spillage of ue gasses into living spaces, common
venting should not be applied, and appliances should
each be vented separately.
2.2.4 Category III Vent
When the Copper Brute II is vented with
horizontal discharge, it must be installed per
this installation manual and the venting system
manufacturer’s installation instructions. The vent
system must be sealed stainless steel, per Table 5.
Route the vent pipe to the heater as directly as
possible. Seal all joints and provide adequate hangers
as required in the venting system manufacturer’s
Installation Instructions. Horizontal portions of the
venting system must be supported to prevent sagging
and may not have any low sections that could trap
condensate. The unit must not support the weight of

2.3 Locating Vent & Combustion Air
Terminals
2.3.1 Side Wall Vent Terminal
The appropriate Bradford White side wall vent
hood must be used, and is listed in the installation and
operation manual. The terminal provides a means of
installing the vent piping through the building wall,
and must be located in accordance with ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54 and applicable local codes. In Canada, the
installation must be in accordance with CSA B149.1 or
.2 and local applicable codes. Consider the following
when installing the terminal:
1. Figure 3 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, locations under windows or near doors
should be avoided.
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 such
surfaces or objects.
7. If the water heater uses ducted combustion air
from an intake terminal located on the same wall,
locate the vent terminal at least 3 feet (0.9m)
horizontally from the combustion air terminal,
and locate the vent terminal at least 1 foot (0.3m)
above the combustion air terminal.
Important Note:
Massachusetts Code Requirement.
For Sidewall Vented Appliances with Vent Terminals Located Less Than 7 Feet above grade:
1. Massachusetts Code requires that a CO Detector
and Alarm, listed by an approved third party
inspection agency to ANSI/UL 2034 and
complying with NFPA720 (2005 Edition) be
installed on each oor level in which there are
bedroom(s), if there is not one already present.
The location shall be in the living space outside
the bedroom(s).
2. An additional CO Detector and Alarm, as
indicated above, shall be located in the room that
houses the appliance and shall be powered by the
same electrical supply as the appliance such that
one service switch serves both the appliance and
the CO detector. The CO detector shall have a
battery backup.
3. The vent terminal, and if applicable the air intake
terminal, shall be the approved Laars terminals.
A copy of this manual shall remain with the
appliance at the completion of the installation.
4. A metal or plastic identication plate shall be
permanently mounted to the exterior of the
building at a minimum height of eight (8) feet
above grade directly in line with the exhaust vent
terminal for the horizontally vented gas fueled
heating appliance or equipment. The sign shall
read, in print size no less than one-half (1/2) inch
in size, “GAS VENT DIRECTLY BELOW.
KEEP CLEAR OF ALL OBSTRUCTIONS”.
For Sidewall Vented Appliances with Vent Terminal Located More Than 7 Feet above grade:
Items 1, 2 and 3 above shall apply. Follow
the Installation Instructions provided with the CO
Detectors when installing them. For issues with the
CO Detectors, contact the installing contractor.
2.3.2 Side Wall Combustion Air Terminal
The Bradford White side wall combustion air
terminal (listed in Table 1) must be used when the
unit takes its combustion air through a duct from a
side wall. Consider the following when installing the
terminal:
1. Do not locate the air inlet terminal near a source
of corrosive chemical fumes (e.g., cleaning uid,
chlorinated compounds, etc.)
Page 11
Internet Version for Reference Only
Copper Brute II
Page 11
2. Locate the terminal so that it will not be subject
to damage by accident or vandalism.
3. Locate the combustion air terminal so that it
cannot be blocked by snow. The National Fuel
Gas Code requires that it be at least 12 inches (30
cm) above grade, but the installer may determine
it should be higher, depending upon local
conditions.
4. If the Copper Brute II is side-wall vented to the
same wall, locate the vent terminal at least 3
feet (0.9m) horizontally from the combustion air
terminal, and locate the vent terminal at least 1
foot (0.3m) above the combustion air terminal
(see Figure 3).
2.3.3 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. When the combustion air is taken from the roof,
the combustion air must terminate at least 12" (30cm)
below the vent terminal (see Figure 2).
2.3.4 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 2).
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.
2.4 Common Vent Test
When an existing heater 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 heater, 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 thermostat so appliance will operate
continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening
after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use
the ame of a match or candle, or smoke from a
cigarette, cigar or pipe.
6. After it has been determined that each appliance
remaining connected to the common venting
system properly vents when tested as outlined
above, return doors, windows, exhaust fans,
replace dampers and any other gas burning
appliance to their previous conditions of use.
7. Any improper operation of the common venting
system should be corrected so that the installation
conforms to the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1, Installation
Codes. When resizing any portion of the common
venting system, the common venting system
should be resized to approach the minimum size
as determined using the appropriate tables in Part
II of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1, Installation Codes.
2.5 Vent Terminals for Outdoor Units
For outdoor applications, the vent and
combustion air openings must be covered with proper
terminals to prevent rain, snow and other objects from
falling into the heater.
If local codes allow, outdoor installations may
use 1' of appropriately sized galvanized single wall
or B-Vent and a rain cap for exhaust vent termination
in the default conguration (venting out of the top).
An appropriately sized galvanized 90° ell, positioned
with the opening facing down, may be used on the
combustion air inlet in the default conguration on
the back of the unit. Note that some local codes may
require a higher vertical vent height, extending above
any perimeter fencing, etc. In installations where the
appearance of the vent is objectionable, the low prole
vent terminals in Table 6 may be used.
Part numbers for the low prole terminals to
cover the vent and combustion air openings are shown
in Table 6.

SECTION 3.
Gas Supply and Piping
3.1 Gas Supply and Piping
Gas piping should be supported by suitable
hangers or oor stands, not by the appliance.
The Copper Brute II gas train allows the user to
pipe the gas from either the right side or the left side
of the unit. As shipped, the right side of the gas train is
capped off, and there is a manual valve on the left side.
If desired, the manual valve on the left side of the gas
train may be moved to the right side, and the cap on
the right side may be moved to the left.
Review the following instructions before
proceeding with the installation.
1. Verify that the appliance is tted for the proper
type of gas by checking the rating plate. Copper
Brute II heaters are equipped to operate at
elevations up to 10000 feet (3050m). Copper
Brute II heaters may be adjusted to operate
properly at altitudes above 2500 feet (see Section
6.4.2) and the input will be reduced if the heating
value of the gas supply is below sea level values.
2. The maximum inlet gas pressure must not exceed
13" W.C (3.2kPa). The minimum inlet gas
pressure is 5" W.C. (1.2kPa).
3. Refer to Table 7, size supply.
4. Run gas supply line in accordance with all
applicable codes.
5. Locate and install manual shutoff valves in
accordance with state and local requirements.
6. A sediment trap must be provided upstream of
the gas controls.
7. All threaded joints should be coated with
piping compound resistant to action of 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
Do not use open ame to check for leaks. An open
ame could lead to explosion, which could result in
property damage, serious injury or death.
NOTE: The Copper Brute II appliance and all other
gas appliances sharing the gas supply line must be
ring at maximum capacity to properly measure the
inlet supply pressure. The pressure can be measured
at the supply pressure port on the gas valve. Low
gas pressure could be an indication of an undersized
gas meter, undersized gas supply lines and/or an
obstructed gas supply line.
SECTION 4.
Water Connections —
Copper Brute II Water Heater
4.1 Water System Piping —
Water Heater
Hot water piping should be supported by suitable
hangers or oor stands. Do not support piping with
this heater. Due to expansion and contraction of
copper pipe, consideration should be given to the type
of hangers used. Rigid hangers may transmit noise
through the system resulting from the piping sliding in
the hangers. It is recommended that padding be used
when rigid hangers are installed.
The heater can be used with several different
types of readily available storage tanks. A pump draws
water from the storage tank and pumps the water
through the heater and back into the tank. Pumpmounted units have a circulating pump built into the
water heater. The pumps used are sized for the head
loss through the heater, plus 30 feet (9.1m) of fullsized piping (same size as heater outlet) and a normal
number of ttings. Pumps used on pump-mounted unit
are sized for soft/normal or hard water, so make sure
a pump-mounted unit matches the water quality of the
installation.
Pipe the outlet from the heater’s relief valve
such that any discharge from the relief valve will be
conducted to a suitable place for disposal when relief
occurs. Do not reduce line size or install any valves in
this line. The line must be installed to allow complete
drainage of both the valve and the line.
Suggested piping diagrams are shown in Figures
4, 5, 6 and 7. These diagrams are meant only as a
guide. Components required by local codes must be
properly installed.
Note the recommended location of the
temperature sensor on the diagrams. The heater is
shipped with an additional sensor that can be used for
more full-featured domestic water heating control. To
get these features, you must provide a location for the
additional sensor. It can be strapped to a pipe from 1"
to 4" diameter, or inserted into a tank immersion well.
The minimum inlet water temperature for the
Copper Brute II is 120°F (49°C) to avoid condensing
on the copper coils.
4.2 Hot Water Supply Piping —
Water Heater
Follow the tank manufacturer’s guidelines for
completion of the hot water system connections.
NOTE: A listed temperature and pressure relief
valve listed as complying with the Standard for
Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices
for Hot Water Supply Systems (ANSI Z21.22 /
CSA 4.4) of suitable discharge capacity must be
installed in the separate storage tank system.
If the water heater is installed in a closed
water supply system, such as one having a backow
preventer in the cold water supply line, the relief valve
may discharge periodically, due to thermal expansion.
Means (such as a properly-sized expansion tank) shall
be provided to control thermal expansion. Contact the
water supplier or local plumbing inspector on how to
control this situation.
4.3 Water Flow Requirements —
Water Heater
In a water heating application (an open system),
new water is constantly being introduced. With the
new water comes a fresh supply of minerals that can
be deposited on the unit’s heat exchanger. This is
commonly known as scaling. The amount of minerals
will depend upon the hardness of the water. Water can
also be aggressive, and can erode metals, including
copper, if the water is moved too quickly. The water
ow requirements for the Copper Brute II water heater
are based upon the hardness of the water. The water
ow is kept high enough to prevent scaling, but low
enough to prevent tube erosion. For extremely soft or
hard water, cupro-nickel tubes are available. Contact a
Bradford White representative if you have questions or
concerns about water quality.
Pump-mounted water heaters can be ordered
with standard pumps for soft or normal water or with
pumps for hard water. The pumps used are sized for
the head loss through the heater, plus 30 feet (9.1m)
of full-sized piping (same size as heater outlet) and a
normal number of ttings.
Table 8 species water ow rates for water
heaters, which will enable the user to size a pump. The
head loss shown is for the heater only, and the user
will need to add the head loss of the piping system to
properly size the pump.

4.4 Combined Water Heating (potable)
and Space Heating — Water Heater
NOTE: These systems are not allowed in all localities.
Be sure to consult local codes.
Piping and components connected to this water
heater for the space heating application shall be
suitable for use with potable water.
Toxic chemicals, such as used for heater
treatment, shall not be introduced into the potable
water used for space heating.
This water heater when used to supply potable
water shall not be connected to any heating system
or component(s) previously used with a non-potable
water heating appliance.
When the system requires water for heating at
temperatures higher than required for other uses,
an anti-scald mixing or tempering valve shall be
installed to temper the water for those uses in order
to reduce scald hazard potential.
4.5 Freeze Protection – Water Heater
Although Copper Brute II water heaters are
design-certied for outdoor installations, such
installations are not recommended in areas subject to
freezing temperatures, unless proper precautions are
taken.
Power outage, interruption of gas supply, failure
of system components, activation of safety devices,
etc., may prevent a heater from ring. Any time a
heater is subjected to freezing conditions, and the
heater is not able to re, and/or the water is not
able to circulate, there is a risk of freezing in the
heater or in the pipes in the system. When water
freezes, it expands. This can result in bursting of pipes
in the system, or damage to the heater, which could
result in leaking or ooding conditions.
Contact the local factory representative or
Bradford White for additional information.
SECTION 5.
Electrical Connections
WARNING
The appliance must be electrically grounded in
accordance with the requirements of the authority
having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such
requirements, with the latest edition of the National
Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, in the U.S. and
with latest edition of CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical
Code, Part 1, in Canada. Do not rely on the gas
or water piping to ground the metal parts of the
heater. Plastic pipe or dielectric unions may isolate
the heater electrically. Service and maintenance
personnel, who work on or around the heater, may
be standing on wet oors and could be electrocuted
by an ungrounded heater.
Single pole switches, including those of safety
controls and protective devices must not be wired in a
grounded line.
All electrical connections are made in the eld
wiring terminal strip, which is located at the right side
of the appliance.
NOTE: All internal electrical components have been
prewired. No attempt should be made to connect
electrical wires to any other location except the wiring
box.
5.1 Main Power
Connect a 15 amp. fused, 120-volt supply to the
main power switch (hot leg is connected directly to
switch). Neutral leg is connected directly to the white
wire. Ground wire can be connected to the grounding
screw in the box or on the switch.
Wiring diagrams are shown in Section 10 in
Figures 18 through 22. Field wiring is shown in
Section 10 in Figures 23 and 25.
5.2 Temperature Control
5.2.1 Temperature Control Description
The eld wiring panel is located on the right side
of the heater, and is shown in Figure 8. The following
components are connected to the eld wiring panel:
Temperature sensor: The sensor supplied loose
with the heater is installed in the piping or tank, per
the suggested piping diagrams, and connected to the
“S C2” and “SUP S” terminals. See section 6.2 for
“Mode” denitions and Figures 24 and 25 for eld
wiring schematics.
Field Installed Pump: A pump contactor can
be wired to the “PMP” and “PMP” terminals (these
terminals supply 24VAC to close the contactor
whenever the heater pump would be operated). Note
that in some cases, the heater pump is operated
continuously.
External Alarm: An external power supply and
alarm can be connected to the “ALRM” and “ALRM”
terminals. In the event of an ignition system lockout, a
contact closure occurs across these terminals.
External Heat Demand Indication: 24VAC
is present across the “HT OUT” and “LWCO GND”
terminals whenever the temperature control sees a
system heat demand. This can be used to power a
contactor (0.5 Amp, maximum) for devices operated
whenever the heater could re (combustion air fans,
motorized louvers, etc.) NOTE: In some cases, the
temperature control will always see a heat demand
in the system, such as when the “Ht D” and Com D”
terminals are jumpered.

5.3 External Staging Control Wiring
WARNING
Improper eld wiring may result in re or explosion
which can cause property damage, severe injury,
or death. Make only wiring connections which are
in accordance with the Installation and Operation
manual.
AVERTISSEMENT
Un câblage incorrect lors de l’installation peut
causer un incendie ou une explosion pouvant
entraîner des dommages matériels, de graves
blessures ou la mort. Ne faire seulement que les
connexions conformes au Manuel d’installation et
d’exploitation.
The wiring methods in this section must be
used to connect an external staging control, such as a
multiple heater control, building automation system,
energy management system, etc.) Other wiring
methods may be unsafe.
Figure 9 shows how to wire the external
controller to the heater’s eld wiring panel, which is
located on the right side of the heater.
Figure 8. Field Wiring Panel
Other Field Interlocks: To install other eldwired devices to interlock with the heater (louver
switches, ow switches, etc.), remove the jumper
between the “COM” and “NO” terminals and wire the
device in series across these terminals. (See Section
5.3 for important information about external staging
controls and building automation systems.)
System Heat Demand: Remove the jumper
across the “COM D” and “Ht D” terminals, and
connect the zone pump or valve end switch,
thermostat, aquastat, or other indication of system heat
demand to these terminals. If no indication of a system
heat demand will be provided, the jumper must remain
in place. When jumpered, the temperature control
will always see a heat demand, and the Copper Brute
II pump (if equipped) or any pump with its contactor
connected to the “PMP” and “PMP” terminals will
run continuously. In addition, any device connected
through the “HT OUT” and “LWCO GND” terminals
for an external indication of the heat demand will
run continuously. See section 6 for more information
on the system heat demand for various modes of
operation.
Refer to Figures 23 through 25 for eld wiring of
additional components.
Figure 9. External Control Connection Wiring.

Most of the time, the number of stages from the
external control will match the number of stages on the
heater. However, in some instances, the controller will
not have enough staging capability to work with all of
the stages on a heater (for instance, using an 8-stage
external control with four 4-stage Copper Brute II
units.) In these instances, it is very important to follow
the instructions in this section. Figure 9 shows how to
combine stages on the heater for those instances when
the external controller cannot control all the stages
available on the heater.
Note: The only time heater stages should be
jumpered is when the heater has an external control,
and the heater is used in Mode 6. In all other modes,
when the heater controls its stages, the terminals
shown in Figure 9 must NOT be jumpered.
SECTION 6.
Operating Instructions
6.1 Sequence of Operation
A call for heat can be initiated either
automatically (“auto mode”) under thermostatic
control by the heater temperature control, or by an
external contact closure (“manual mode”).
In auto mode, the heater will re its stages of
input to maintain a target temperature programmed
into the temperature control. The controller can be
programmed per section 6.2.
In manual mode, an external control will control
the heater stages, as long as the heater control is set to
mode 6, and the auto/manual switch (located inside the
control compartment) is set to manual.
The amber “Ready” light on the front panel
indicates that the control system is energized. Upon a
call for heat, the green “Heat” indicator on the front
panel will light.
If the unit is pump-mounted, the pump will be
energized. The pump terminals on the eld-wiring
terminals strip will energize a eld pump that is
properly interlocked with the heater. The green
“Pump” indicator on the front panel will light.
Once the water ow switch makes, and if all of
the safety interlocks are closed, the ignition module
will energize the blower(s) for a 15-second pre-purge,
followed by a 20-second period to allow the ignitor to
heat.
Energizing the blower pressurizes the air box
(which supplies air to the burners) and closes the
normally-open contact(s) of the airow pressure
switch(es). This allows the ignition module to proceed
with the ignition sequence.
The blocked ue pressure switch senses the
pressure in the plenum. It will interrupt the airow
sensing circuit if this pressure exceeds a maximum
value. If airow is not proven, the ignition module
will lockout.
The ignition module checks that the ignitor
current has reached a minimum value and energizes
the gas valve at the end of the ignitor heating period.
The green “Stage 1” indicator on the front panel will
light, indicating that the stage 1 gas valve is open.
After a 4-second trial for ignition, the ignitor
switches off, and unless a ame is detected by the
ame sensor, the gas valve will close and the ignition
module will either attempt ignition again (up to three
times) or will lockout (if the optional lockout ignition
module is used).
If ame is sensed, the burner will continue to
re as long as there is a call for heat. In Auto mode,
additional stages are delayed by a minimum of 60
seconds (less prepurge and ignitor warm-up time) and
once energized, must re for at least 30 seconds. The
request for additional stages is indicated on the control
display, and the energizing of additional burner stages
is indicated by front panel lights.
If there is a subsequent loss of ame signal, the
burner will attempt re-ignition up to three times (only
once if optional lockout ignition module is used.)
When the call for heat is satised, the gas
valve(s) closes and the blower(s) continues to run
for 30 seconds. The pump will continue to run for a
minimum of 20 seconds and up to a programmable
maximum of 10 minutes.
If a call for heat is prevented from being satised
either by a safety interlock or due to an ignition
lockout, the red “Service” indicator on the front panel
will light. To reset the standard ignition module,
the reset button on the module must be pressed.
Interrupting power to this module will not reset the
lockout.
The Copper Brute II 1000 - 2000 models have
two ignition modules that control different burners. If
one module should fail for any reason, the remaining
module can operate its burner(s) independently.
Important: The installer is responsible for identifying
to the owner/operator the location of all emergency
shutoff devices.
WARNING
Do not use this appliance if any part has been
under water. Immediately call a qualied service
technician to inspect the appliance
and to replace any part of the control system and
any gas control that may have been
under water.
6.2 Programming the Temperature
Control
The same temperature control is used on all
versions of the Copper Brute II (in two-and four-stage
congurations), providing maximum exibility to meet
the needs of any system. Before start-up, you must
program the temperature control for the type of system
Page 21
Internet Version for Reference Only
Copper Brute II
Page 21
you have. You must determine the type of piping the
system has, the Mode the temperature control will
operate in, and the various settings for that mode.
6.2.1 System Piping
“Primary Secondary Piping”
In the context of these instructions, “primary
secondary piping” means the heater provides heat to a
plumbing loop that has, in turn, one or more plumbing
loops connected to it, which provide heat to radiant
tubing, radiators, DHW heat exchangers, etc. This
plumbing loop is the “primary loop.”
In primary secondary piping modes, the
temperature control monitors the primary loop
temperature. The extra sensor that is shipped loose
with heater is installed in the primary loop. The
temperature control res the heater stages to provide
the “target temperature” at that sensor. Over time, the
temperature control will learn the system curve and
adjust the ring of the stages to meet the demand in
the most efcient way.
For complex systems, with variable speed
injection circulators, multiple temperature zones, etc.,
you may need to consult with a qualied engineer or
Bradford White.
“Parallel Piping”
The term “parallel piping” means the heater is
supplying heat directly to one or more storage tanks,
radiators, radiant zones, etc., plumbed in series. In
these systems, the target temperature is the heater’s
outlet temperature. An exception is for domestic hot
water systems using mode 3, where the extra sensor is
placed in the tank.
6.2.2 Choosing the Mode
There are six modes of operation for the heater's
temperature control. The loose sensor must be installed
and connected prior to programming the temperature
control, as it provides sensing the “target” temperature.
The location of the sensor is dependent on the type of
piping used.
Modes 1 through 5 are the automatic modes,
requiring the diagnostic panel’s AUTO/MAN switch
(located on the slide-out control drawer) to remain in
the default “AUTO” position. These modes enable the
temperature control to re the heater’s stages to meet
the demand of the system. In these modes, the heater's
temperature control continuously samples the inlet,
outlet and target temperatures.
Mode 6 is the “Manual” mode, and the AUTO/
MAN switch must be moved to the “MAN” position.
An external control, such as a building automation
system or multiple heater control, just be wired to the
eld wiring panel in order to re the heater, bypassing
the temperature control. (See Section 5.3 for important
information about external staging controls and
building automation systems.)

6.2.3 Programming
Before programming, you must determine the
type of piping you have, the mode you will use, and
install the extra sensor if required for that mode. See
sections 6.2.1 and 6.2.2 for more information, or
contact the factory.
There are three black programming buttons on
the Temperature Control (see Figures 10 and 11). Press
and hold all three programming buttons until the word
“ADJUST” appears in the upper right corner of the
LCD display (it replaces the word “VIEW”).
Pressing “Item” cycles you through the items
you need to program. “Up Arrow” increases the
value of that item, while “Down Arrow” decreases it.
“ADJUST” mode exits if you don’t press a button for
20 seconds. To return to “ADJUST” mode, simply
press and hold the three buttons again.

Figure 12. Temperature Control Target Temperature
Graph.
BOIL MIN (Boiler Minimum Temperature):
This setting tells the Temperature Control to maintain
at least this temperature, even if the PID logic
determines a lower setting would save energy. The
BOIL MIN should always be 120°F (49°C) or higher
to prevent condensation, and can be set up to 10°F
below your BOIL TARGET temperature. See section
6.3.3 for more information.
BOIL MAX (Boiler Maximum Temperature):
This setting tells the Temperature Control to limit the
maximum outlet temperature to this setting or below,
and determines how quickly the temperature control
“stages down” or off. If the BOIL MAX setting is
much higher than the BOIL TARGET temperature, the
temperature control will re all stages until the target
temperature is reached, and then shut down all stages
at once. To enable gradual staging down of the heater
as you approach your target temperature, set the BOIL
MAX to the same setting as the target temperature. See
section 6.3.4 for more information.
DIFF (Differential): This setting is divided
above and below the target temperature. The water
will be allowed to cool this setting below the target
temperature before rst stage res, and will heat to
this setting above the target temperature before staging
the heater down. See Section 6.3.1 and Figures 12 and
13 for more information.
Figure 11. Temperature Control Symbol Description.
The rst item is “Mode”; enter the mode number
as determined above. The Temperature Control will
then present you with some or all of the following
options, depending on the mode you have chosen:
In mode 6, external heater control, you will not
see the following options. Refer to manual, section
6.3.10, for setup information for mode 6.
FOR ALL OTHER MODES:
BOIL MASS (Boiler Mass): Always choose “1”.
BOIL TARGET (Boiler Target Temperature):
Your desired set-point temperature. See section 6.3.5
and Figure 12 for more information.
Figure 13. Temperature Control Interstage Differential
Graph.
Page 23

Copper Brute II
Page 23
PUMP DLY (Pump Delay): On pump mounted
units, the heater mounted pump continues to run for
the time selected after the heat demand in the system is
satised. This setting also affects the 24VAC output on
the “PMP” “PMP” terminals (see section 5.2). These
terminals can power a contactor for a larger system
pump. Bradford White recommends a minimum pump
delay setting of 5 minutes. See section 6.3.6 for more
information. Note: In modes other than mode 6, the
pump will run continuously if the “HtD” and “ComD”
terminals are jumpered and not connected to a zone
valve or pump end switch, or other “contact closure”
device to indicate when the heat demand in the system
is satised. The pump will never run, and the heater
will never re, if the jumper is removed and the
terminals left empty.
OUTDOOR RESET (Modes 4 and 5) Outdoor
reset adjusts the target temperature based on the
outdoor air temperature and reset ratio. The reset ratio
is determined from the Boiler Start, Boiler Design,
Outdoor Start and Outdoor Design settings.
HEAT DEMAND – For heat demand to exist,
there must be continuity between the Com D (common
demand) and Ht D (heat demand) terminals. The heater
ships with a jumper between these terminals.
The control also evaluates the sensor(s) installed
in the system. If the control is not in warm weather
shutdown (WWSD), and the sensor(s) are below the
target temperature, the “Dem” segment is turned on
in the display. The control energizes the pump (on
pump mounted heater) and energizes the “PMP-PMP”
terminals. The pump symbol appears in the display
(see Figures 10 and 11). The control then operates the
stages to maintain the set point temperature.
Boiler Start (BOIL START) The BOIL
START temperature is the theoretical heater supply
temperature that the heating system requires when the
outdoor air temperature equals the OUTDR START
temperature setting.
EXAMPLE 1
DHW (Mode 3) Programming. For domestic
hot water systems up to 175°F / 79°C, use Mode 3 as
described below.
Step 1: Install the additional sensor into the
storage tank, wiring it to “SC2” and “SUPS” terminals
on the eld wiring panel (Figure 24).
Step 2: Press the three programming buttons to
enter “ADJUST” mode (Figure 10). Press “Item” to
select the programming item, and the arrow keys to
adjust the setting. “TARGET TANK” is desired tank
temperature. Recommended settings with a desired
tank temperature of 125°F:
Example DHW Programming
Item F° C°
MODE 3 3
BOIL TARGET 140°F 60°C
TARGET TANK 125°F 52°C
DIFF TANK 2°F 1°C
BOIL MASS 1 1
DIFF 2°F 1°C
DLY 5:00 5:00
F° F° °C
Step 4: See section 6.3.11 Limit Controls. Set
both high limits 25°F / 14°C higher than “BOIL
TARGET” to allow for temperature rise across heat
exchanger. Manual high limits on water heaters have
a maximum 200°F / 93°C setting. (If water must be
at 175°F / 79°C or higher with a volume water heater
model, use Mode 1. For volume water applications
exceeding 200°F / 93°C, contact the factory.)
Fine tuning: For faster staging, increase “BOIL
TARGET” setting. Larger “DIFF TANK” and “DIFF”
settings will slow response to demand, but may save
energy.
If unit short cycles, enter Advanced Programming
mode (Section 6.3) and increase “BOILER MAX”
setting to the “BOIL TARGET” setting or higher. Set
“BOILER MIN” to 120°F / 49°C, and “STGMODE”
to PID. See section 6.3.12 Advanced Programming
Mode to enter Advanced Programming mode, or
contact the factory for assistance.
EXAMPLE 2
Hydronic Primary/Secondary (Mode 2)
Programming. MODE 2 is used in primary-secondary
piping hydronic systems without outdoor reset. Mode
5 adds outdoor reset.
Step 1: Install the additional sensor in the
primary loop. This sensor should be installed as per
Section 6.2.4 under Primary Secondary Piping in this
manual, and wired to the “SC2” and “SUPS” terminals
on the eld wiring panel (Figure 24).
Step 2: Remove the factory-installed jumper
between the “HtD” and “ComD” terminals on the
eld wiring panel (Figure 24), and connect a zone
valve or pump end switch or other contact closure
device (aquastat, etc.) to these terminals to provide an
indication of heat demand in the system.
Note: The heater must have an indication of heat
demand to re. If a zone valve or pump end switch
is not connected to the “HtD” and “ComD” terminals,
the jumper must be left in place. However, the heater
pump (if equipped) and any pump connected to a
contactor wired to the PMP-PMP terminals on the
eld wiring panel will run continuously and not cycle
off according to the setting for the Pump Delay. In
addition, the LCD screen will always show “dem”
(demand) and will not allow cycling of the display to
verify all the sensor settings.

Step 3: Press the three programming buttons to
enter “ADJUST” mode (Figure 10). Press “Item” to
select the programming item, and the arrow keys to
adjust the setting. See section 6.2 Programming the
Temperature Control if more programming instructions
are needed.
Recommended settings for hydronic system with
180°F / 83°C primary loop temperature:

F° F° °C
Step 4: See section 6.3.11 Limit Controls. Set
both high limit controls at least 25°F / 14°C higher
than the BOIL TARGET to allow for temperature rise
across the heat exchanger.
6.2.4 Choosing the Mode for your
Application
This section describes various applications and
the recommended eld wiring and Mode selections.
Water heater systems with Copper Brute II
heater(s) and tank(s) will almost always use either
mode 1 or mode 3. All other modes are for boiler
applications. These modes are described in this
manual for completeness, since they are accessible
in the water heater control software.
Mode 1: Heater operates using its own inlet
and outlet sensors only, not relying
on a remote thermostat, aquastat,
or external sensor.
This setup is most commonly found in domestic
hot water applications with a continuous run pump.
This is not recommended for other applications.
The heater is shipped with a jumper between the
“Com D” and “Ht D” terminals, which must remain
in place to allow the unit to re. The unit will re
whenever the outlet temperature cools below the target
temperature.
Important Note: If the heater is pump-mounted
at the factory, or if a eld-supplied pump contractor
is connected to the heater’s pump contactors (Pmp
Pmp), the user must program the controller’s pump
delay (DLY) setting to ON. When ON is selected,
pump operation is continuous. The unit’s inlet and
outlet sensors must be able to detect the temperature
in the storage tank in order to control it. Without the
tank water continuously running through the heater,
the heater will have no way of knowing what the
temperature in the tank is, and will not be able to
respond to a change in tank temperature. Short cycling
or lack of hot water may result if the pump does not
run continuously.
Mechanical aquastat in a domestic hot
water storage tank.
Remove the jumper from the “Com D” and
“HtD” terminals and connect the aquastat’s leads to
these terminals. This connection uses a standard, nonpowered mechanical aquastat. When the aquastat calls
for heat, the heater’s temperature control will respond
and start the heater pump (if equipped) and re the
heater.
If the heater is not a pump mounted model, a
24VAC pump contactor may be connected to the
“PMP” terminals to control a eld installed pump.
(If desired, the pump can run continuously, with the
aquastat telling the heater when to re.)
Program the temperature control to use “Mode
1.” The AUTO/MAN switch must be in the AUTO
position in this mode.
Mode 3: Bradford White R2014800 sensor
installed in the domestic hot water
storage tank.
The heater ships with a jumper between the
“Com D” and “Ht D” terminals. Verify this jumper is
in place, and connect the sensor leads to the “S C2”
and “SUP S” terminals. When the sensor detects a
temperature below the target temperature, the control
will respond and start the heater pump (if equipped)
and re the heater.
If the heater is not a pump mounted model, a
24VAC pump contactor may be connected to the
“PMP” terminals to control a eld installed pump. (If
desired, the pump can run continuously).
Program the temperature control to use “Mode
3.” The AUTO/MAN switch must be in the AUTO
position in this mode.
Caution
If the tank temperature control is set too high, a
potential for hot water scalding may exist.
Mode 2: Primary secondary piping.
Install a “supply sensor” in the primary loop
using the Bradford White part number R2014800
sensor (included with every unit). Connect the sensor
to the “S C2” and “SUP S” terminals.
You must provide an indication of the system’s
heat demand by removing the jumper across the
“ComD” and “HtD” terminals on the eld wiring
panel and connecting a zone valve or zone pump end
switch, thermostat, aquastat or other contact closure to
these terminals. If the “ComD” and “HtD” terminals
are left jumpered, the control will always see a heat
demand and remain in “Dem” mode, with the boiler
pump running continuously. See Section 5.2 for more
information.
A secondary aquastat, such as for a separate heat
exchanger for DHW, can be connected to the “Set D”
and “Com D” terminals. A call for heat from these
controls will start the boiler pump and cause the heater
to re.

If the heater is not a pump mounted model, a
24VAC pump contactor may be connected to the
“PMP” terminals to control a eld installed pump.
Program the temperature control to use “Mode
2.” The AUTO/MAN switch must be in the AUTO
position in this mode.
Mode 4: Hydronic outdoor reset system
without primary / secondary piping.
Bradford White strongly suggests the use of
primary secondary piping with the Copper Brute II
heater. This piping style best ensures that the Copper
Brute II will have proper water ow. However, nonprimary secondary methods can be used successfully,
so this section has been included.
Install the outdoor reset sensor, Bradford White
part number R2014000, and connect the leads to the
“OD S” and “S C2” terminals.
You must provide an indication of the system’s
heat demand by removing the jumper across the
“ComD” and “HtD” terminals on the eld wiring
panel and connecting a zone valve or zone pump end
switch, thermostat, aquastat or other contact closure to
these terminals. If the “ComD” and “HtD” terminals
are left jumpered, the control will always see a heat
demand and remain in “Dem” mode, with the boiler
pump running continuously. See Section 5.2 for more
information.
Reset Override: An additional thermostat or aquastat
may be connected to the “Set D” and “Com D”
terminals. A call for heat from either of these controls
will start the heater’s pump and cause the heater to re.
If the heater is not a pump mounted model, a
24VAC pump contactor may be connected to the
“PMP” terminals to control a eld installed pump.
Program the temperature control to use “Mode
4.” The AUTO/MAN switch must be in the AUTO
position in this mode.
Mode 5: Primary secondary piping with
outdoor reset.
Install the outdoor reset sensor, Bradford White
part number R2014000, and connect the leads to
the “OD S” and “S C2” terminals. Install a “supply
sensor” in the primary loop using the Bradford White
part number R2014800 sensor (included with every
heater). Connect the sensor to the “S C2” and “SUP S”
terminals.
You must provide an indication of the system’s
heat demand by removing the jumper across the
“ComD” and “HtD” terminals on the eld wiring
panel and connecting a zone valve or zone pump end
switch, thermostat, aquastat or other contact closure to
these terminals. If the “ComD” and “HtD” terminals
are left jumpered, the control will always see a heat
demand and remain in “Dem” mode, with the heater
pump running continuously. See Section 5.2 for more
information.
A secondary aquastat, such as for a separate heat
exchanger for DHW, can be connected to the “Set D”
and “Com D” terminals. A call for heat from these
controls will start the heater pump and cause the heater
to re.
If the heater is not a pump mounted model, a
24VAC pump contactor may be connected to the
“PMP” terminals to control a eld installed pump.
Program the temperature control to use “Mode
5.” The AUTO/MAN switch must be in the AUTO
position in this mode.
Mode 6: Heater with external staging
control (multiple boiler control,
building automation system, energy
management system, etc.)
Leave the jumper installed between “Ht D” and
“Com D” terminals. There are terminals on the eld
wiring panel that must be wired per the instructions
in section 5.3 of this manual. Other wiring methods
may be unsafe. The wiring in section 5.3 of this
manual must be used.
The AUTO/MAN switch is located on the circuit
board in the slide-out control panel on the front of the
heater. This switch is placed in the manual position
(MAN) when an external control is controlling the
heater stages.
Program the temperature control to use Mode 6.
Mode 6 tells the heater control that an external staging
control is being used.
6.3 Advanced Topics
For most installations, section 6.2 provides all
the information required to set up the Copper Brute II
heater, and this section should be skipped. Continue
setup in section 6.4.
This section provides denitions of the
programming parameters, advanced programming
topics, and other information that may be of interest.
Advanced programming mode allows the
installer to set the temperature control for proportional
staging. In advanced programming mode, the
interstage differential, interstage delay, interstage on
and off delay, and minimum time on and off are all set
manually.
NOTE: Advanced programming mode is not required
in most applications, and is intended for advanced
installers only.
To enter advanced programming mode, remove
the bezel on the temperature control by pulling out at
the bottom. Remove the small Phillips head screw to
access the dip switch. The dip switch is mounted on
a circuit board. Locate the letter “A” on the circuit
board and slide the corresponding dip switch toward
the letter “A”. The default setting of this dip switch is
toward the “OFF” lettering on the circuit board.

6.3.1 Differential
Differential has an abbreviated name of DIFF. An
on/off heat source must be operated with a differential
in order to prevent short cycling. The differential
is divided around the boiler target temperature (see
Figure 13). The rst stage contact will close when the
water temperature at the operating sensor is one-half of
the differential setting below the target temperature. It
will open when the water temperature at the operating
sensor is one-half of the differential setting above the
target temperature. The remaining stages will operate
sequentially, based on the staging mode selected.
6.3.2 Staging Mode
The Copper Brute II 500 and 750 control
operates two stages. The Copper Brute II 1000 control
operates three stages. The Copper Brute II control for
models 1250-2000 operates four stages. The method
of staging used by the control is either P (proportional)
or PID (proportional & integral & derivative), and
is selected using the STGMODE item in the Adjust
menu.
Proportional (P) – Proportional staging, also
known as step staging, is based on manually adjusted
settings which determine when the next stage is
required to turn on. These manual settings are based
on temperature and time. The interstage differential
sets the temperature drop at which the next stage turns
on. However, in order for a stage to re, the interstage
delay on and minimum off times must rst elapse.
Interstage Differential (STG DIFF) – The
interstage differential is the temperature drop at which
the next stage will turn on. Once a stage turns on, the
next stage cannot turn on until the temperature drops
the interstage differential below the temperature at
which the previous stage turned on. The interstage
differential is adjustable through the STG DIFF setting
in the Adjust menu. See Figure 13.
Interstage Delay On (ON DLY) – The
interstage delay on is the amount of time that must
elapse before turning on the next stage. Once a stage
turns on, the next stage cannot turn on until the
interstage delay on time elapses. The interstage delay
on is adjustable through the ON DLY setting in the
Adjust menu.
Interstage Delay Off (OFF DLY) – The
interstage delay off is the amount of time that must
elapse before turning off the next stage. Once a stage
turns off, the next stage cannot turn off until the
interstage delay off time elapses. The interstage delay
off is adjustable through the OFF DLY setting in the
Adjust menu.
Minimum On Time (MIN ON) – The minimum
on time is the minimum amount time that a stage must
be on before it is allowed to turn off. Once a stage
turns on, it cannot turn off until a minimum on time
elapses. The minimum on time is adjustable through
the MIN ON setting in the Adjust menu.
Minimum Off Time (MIN OFF) – The
minimum off time is the minimum amount time that a
stage must be off before it is allowed to turn on. Once
a stage turns off, it cannot turn on until a minimum
off time elapses. The minimum off time is adjustable
through the MIN OFF setting in the Adjust menu.
Proportional & Integral & Derivative (PID)
– PID staging allows the control to determine when
the next stage is required to turn on. The control
automatically determines the settings that are manually
selected in proportional staging mode. After each stage
is turned on in the ring sequence, the control waits a
minimum amount of time before turning on the next
stage. After the minimum time delay between stages
has expired, the control examines the control error to
determine when the next stage is to re. The control
error is determined using PID logic.
Proportional compares the actual operating
sensor temperature to the heater target temperature.
The colder the temperature, the sooner the next stage
is turned on.
Integral compares the actual operating sensor
temperature to the heater target temperature over a
period of time.
Derivative determines how fast or slow the
operating sensor temperature is changing. If the
temperature is increasing slowly, the next stage is
turned on sooner. If the temperature is increasing
quickly, the next stage is turned on later, if at all.
Boiler Mass (BOIL MASS) – The boiler mass
setting allows the installer to adjust the control to the
thermal mass of different types of heat sources used.
The boiler mass setting automatically determines the
interstage differential, interstage delay on, interstage
delay off, minimum on time and minimum off time of
the stages when PID staging is used. A higher thermal
mass setting provides slower staging, while a lower
thermal mass setting provides faster staging. Copper
Brute II water heaters are low-mass appliances, and
therefore, should be used with the lower thermal mass
setting. Set BOIL MASS to “1”.
6.3.3 Boiler Minimum (BOIL MIN)
The minimum boiler setting (BOIL MIN) is the
lowest water temperature that the control is allowed
to use as a target temperature. During mild conditions,
if the control calculates a target temperature that is
below this setting, the target temperature is adjusted to
at least the minimum setting. During this condition, if
the unit is operating, the MIN segment turns on in the
LCD while the target temperature or operating sensor
temperature is viewed. For Copper Brute II units, this
must be set no lower than 120°F (49°C) to protect the
unit from condensing on the heat exchanger (see Figure
14).
Page 27
Internet Version for Reference Only
Copper Brute II
Page 27
6.3.4 Boiler Maximum (BOIL MAX)
The boiler maximum (BOIL MAX) is the highest
water temperature that the control is allowed to use
as a target temperature. If the control does target
BOIL MAX, and the heater outlet sensor is near the
BOIL MAX temperature, the MAX segment turns
on in the LCD while the target, inlet, outlet or supply
temperature is viewed (see Figure 14).
Figure 14. Temperature Control Min & Max Graph.
6.3.5 Boiler Target Temperature
The target temperature is determined from
the mode of operation. The control displays the
temperature that is currently trying to maintain at
the operating sensor as BOIL TARGET in the View
menu. The operating sensor for modes 1, 3 and 4 is the
outlet sensor (on the heater). The operating sensor for
modes 2 and 5 is the supply sensor (in the system or
primary loop). If the control does not presently have
a requirement for heat, it displays “- - -” in the LCD.
There is no target temperature generated in mode 6
(external controller mode).
6.3.6 Pump Operation
The pump terminals (Pmp Pmp) are energized
with 24 VAC to control a eld supplied pump
contactor. During set point operation (modes 1 and 2),
the terminals are energized whenever there is a heat
demand. During dedicated DHW operation (mode
3), the terminals are energized whenever there is an
internal heat demand. During outdoor reset (modes 4
and 5), the terminals are energized whenever there is
either a heat demand and the control is not in Warm
Weather Shut Down (WWSD), or whenever there is
a set point demand. During WWSD, if the pump has
not operated at least once every 70 hours, the control
energizes the terminals for 10 seconds. This minimizes
the possibility of the pump seizing during a long
period of inactivity. During External Heater Operation
(mode 6), the pump contact closes whenever there is a
heat demand.
Boiler Purge (PUMP DLY) – After a demand
is satised, the control continues to operate the pump
for a period of time. The length of time that the pump
continues to run is based on the pump delay setting.
Once the last stage of the control turns off, the control
keeps the pump contacts energized for the time
selected (between 0 and 10 minutes). When OFF is
selected, there is no purging. When ON is selected,
pump operation is continuous. Also, during outdoor
reset, with the pump delay set to ON, the pump
continues to run even during Warm Weather Shut
Down.
6.3.7 Set point Operation
When either mode 1 or 2 is selected, the control
controls the water temperature based on a xed set
point. The set point temperature is set using the BOIL
TARGET item in the Adjust menu.
Heat Demand – For “heat demand” to exist,
there must be continuity between the Com D (common
demand) and the Ht D (heat demand) terminals. The
heater ships with a jumper between these terminals.
The control also evaluates the sensor(s) installed
in the system, including the outlet sensor provided
on the heater when using mode 1. When the control
senses continuity between Com D and Ht D terminals,
and that the sensor reading is below the target
temperature, the control will activate the Dem segment
in the display.
The control energizes the pump (on pump
mounted heater) and energizes the Pmp Pmp terminals.
The heater pump segment is turned on in the display.
The control then operates the stages to maintain the set
point temperature.
6.3.8 Dedicated Domestic Hot Water
When mode 3 is selected, the control provides
dedicated domestic hot water operation.
Internal DHW Demand – A sensor is required
to be connected on the SC2 and Sup/S terminals.
An internal demand for DHW is generated when the
temperature demand for DHW sensor drops of the
tank differential setting below the desired DHW tank
temperature. The TANK TARGET setting is used to
set the desired DHW tank temperature.
Once an internal demand is generated, the
Dem segment turns on in the LCD. The control then
closes the Pmp Pmp contact, which starts the pump
and the control turns on the heater pump segment in
the display. The control then operates the stages to
maintain the programmed heater target temperature at
the heater outlet sensor.
Page 28
Internet Version for Reference Only
Page 28
Copper Brute II
Page 29
Bradford White
The heater target temperature is set using the
BOIL TARGET item in the Adjust menu.
Note: External demand is not required in this
mode of operation.
Tank Differential – A differential setting that
operates above and below the TANK TARGET is
selectable using the TANK DIFF item in the Adjust
menu.
6.3.9 Outdoor Reset Operation
When either mode 4 or 5 is selected, the control
uses outdoor reset to control the water temperature.
Outdoor reset adjusts the target temperature based
on the outdoor air temperature and reset ratio. The
reset ratio is determined from the Boiler Start, Boiler
Design, Outdoor Start and Outdoor Design settings.
Heat Demand – For “heat demand” to exist,
there must be continuity between the Com D (common
demand) and the Ht D (heat demand) terminals. The
heater ships with a jumper between these terminals.
The control also evaluates the sensor(s) installed
in the system. If the control is not in warm weather
shutdown (WWSD), and the sensor(s) are below the
target temperature, the Dem segment is turned on
in the display. The control energizes the pump (on
pump mounted boilers) and energizes the Pmp-Pmp
terminals, and the heater pump segment is turned on
in the display. The control then operates the stages to
maintain the set point temperature.
Boiler Start (BOIL START) – The BOIL
START temperature is the theoretical boiler supply
water temperature that the heating system requires
when the outdoor air temperature equals the OUTDR
START temperature setting. The BOIL START is
typically set to the desired building temperature (see
Figure 15).
Outdoor Start (OUTDR START) – The
OUTDR START temperature is the outdoor air
temperature at which the control provides the BOIL
START water temperature to the system. The OUTDR
START is typically set to the desired building
temperature.
Outdoor Design (OUTDR DSGN) – The
OUTDR DSGN is the outdoor air temperature that is
the typical coldest temperature of the year where the
building is located. This temperature is used when
doing heat loss calculations for the building.
Boiler Design (BOIL DSGN) – The BOIL
DSGN temperature is the water temperature required
to heat the boiler zones when the outdoor air is as cold
as the OUTDR DSGN temperature.
Warm Weather Shut Down (WWSD) – When
the outdoor air temperature rises above the WWSD
setting, the control turns on the WWSD segment
in the display. When the control is in WWSD, the
Dem segment is displayed if there is a heat demand.
Figure 15. Temperature Control Outdoor Start Graph.
However, the control does not operate the heating
system to satisfy this demand. The control does
respond to a set point demand and operates as
described in the Reset Override section (next).
Reset Override (SET POINT DEMAND)
– This is used when override of the outdoor reset curve
is needed, such as when an indirect water heater is
served by the heating system. A set point demand is
required whenever heat is required for the set point
load. The set point demand overrides the reset water
temperature. The control turns on the Setp Dem
pointer in the display. The control energizes the pump
(on pump-mounted heaters), energizes the Pmp-Pmp
terminals, and turns on the heater pump segment in the
display. The control then operates the heater stages to
maintain the programmed target temperature. The reset
override operation is not affected by WWSD.
6.3.10 External Heater Operation
When mode 6 is selected, the control allows for
an external control to operate the heater’s stages. In
this mode, the control operates the pump in order to
provide purging and exercising. The staging operation
is provided by an external device such as an Energy
Management System (EMS) or External Staging
Control.
Heat Demand – A heat demand is generated
when stage one is wired properly, and the external
control closes the contacts on the stage one terminals
(1C-1NO), calling the heater for heat. The heater is
shipped with a jumper between the Com D and Ht D
terminals, and this jumper must remain in place when
and external control is providing the heat demand
Page 29
Internet Version for Reference Only
Copper Brute II
Page 29
signal to these terminals. The control energizes the
heater pump (if equipped), energizes the Pmp-Pmp
terminals, and turns on the heater pump segment in the
display. The control also turns on stage 1 of the heater.
Section 5.3 contains important information about
external staging controls and building automation
systems. Other wiring methods may be unsafe. The
wiring in Section 5.3 of this manual must be used.
6.3.11 Limit Controls
In addition to the temperature control, Copper
Brute II appliances are tted with a manual reset
high limit and an automatic reset high limit. These
are located near the rear of the cabinet on the right
side, behind the slide out drawer (see Figure 17).
Both controls should be set at least 25°F higher than
the target temperature to avoid short cycling. To set
these controls, remove the control panel cover and
pull the control panel out to gain access. Appliances
with reversed heat exchangers have the limit controls
relocated to the left side of the appliance. The left
access door must be removed to gain access to the
limit controls on these appliances.
6.3.12 Advanced Programming Mode
Advanced programming mode allows the
installer to set the temperature control for proportional
staging. In advanced programming mode, the
interstage differential, interstage delay, interstage on
and off delay, and minimum time on and off are all set
manually.
NOTE: Advanced programming mode is rarely
required. It is intended for advanced installers,
and only when the application demands such
programming.
To enter advanced programming mode, remove
the bezel on the temperature control by pulling out at
the bottom. Remove the small Phillips head screw to
access the dip switch. The dip switch is mounted on a
circuit board.
Locate the letter “A” on the circuit board and
slide the corresponding dip switch toward the letter
“A”. The default setting of this dip switch is toward
the “OFF” lettering on the circuit board.
6.4 Operating the Burner and Set Up
6.4.1 Set Up for 0 to 2500 Feet Altitude
The Copper Brute II appliance utilizes a modular
design to achieve its stage-ring. The setup must be
checked before the unit is put in operation. Problems
such as failure to start, rough ignition, strong exhaust
odors, etc. can be due to improper setup. Damage to
the Copper Brute II resulting from improper setup is
not covered by the limited warranty.
1. Using this manual, make sure the installation
is complete and fully in compliance with the
instructions.
2. Determine that the appliance and system are
lled with water and all air has been bled from
both. Open all valves.
3. Observe all warnings on the Operating
Instructions label and turn on gas and electrical
power to appliance.
4. Switch on the heater power switch located on the
right side of the unit.
5. The heater will enter the start sequence, as long
as the unit is being called for heat. The blower
and pump come on for pre-purge, then the ignitor
warm-up sequence starts and after the ignitor
warm-up is complete and all safety devices are
veried, the gas valves open. If ignition doesn’t
occur, check that there is proper gas supply.
Wait 5 minutes and start the unit again. During
initial start up, air in the gas line may cause the
heater to "lock out" during the rst few trials
for ignition. Depending on the ignition modules
installed, the manual reset button on the ignition
modules may need to be depressed to restart the
heater.
6. When the unit is running, the supply gas pressure
must be checked. Inlet gas pressure must not
exceed 13" W.C. (3.2kPa). The minimum inlet
gas pressure is 5" W.C. (1.2kPa).
7. Once the inlet gas pressure is veried, the
outlet gas pressure from each valve (manifold
gas pressure) must be checked, and adjusted, if
necessary. The manifold gas pressure must be
2.5" W.C. (0.62kPa).
8. Complete the setup by checking the CO2 at the
outlet of the unit. The CO2 should be 8% for
natural gas, or 9.2% for propane.
9. After placing the heater in operation, the
Burner Safety Shutoff Device must be tested.
To test:
(a) Close gas shutoff valve with burner
operating.
(b) The ame will go out and blower will
continue to run for the post purge cycle.
One additional attempt to light will follow.
Ignition will not occur as the gas is off. The
ignition control will lockout, and will have
to be reset before the unit will operate.
(c) Open gas shutoff valve. Restart the
appliance. The ignition sequence will
start again and the burner will start. The
appliance will return to its previous mode
of operation.
NOTE: Models 1000 - 2000 have two ignition controls
and two ignitors, which work independently of one
another. If the ignition control for stages 1 and 2 fails
to properly light the main burners for those stages, the
second ignition control will still be active, and will be
able to energize stages 3 and 4. This, of course, will
only occur if all other safety devices conrm that the
unit will run in a safe condition.

6.4.2 High Altitude Adjustment and Set
Up
Copper Brute II appliances may be operated at
high altitude (7700 ft., 2347 m) with a reduction in
output of approximately 10%. At altitudes of less than
or more than 7700 ft. (2347 m) the appliance will
perform equally as well, but with differing reductions
in output. At elevations higher than 7700 ft. (2347
m) the reduction in output will exceed 10% and at
elevations below 7700 ft. (2347 m) it will be less than
10%. High altitude adjustment must not be made on
appliances operating at elevations below 2500 ft. (762
m).
No orice changes are required to adjust the
Copper Brute II appliances for high altitude. High
altitude adjustment is accomplished by adjustment of
the gas valve manifold pressure and the air shutter(s).
The required instruments used to assist in these
adjustments are a CO2 or O2 Analyzer and a U-Tube
Manometer or other device capable of reading a
pressure of 2.5-3.0 inches W.C. (0.62-0.75 kPa).
Start the adjustment process by checking the
CO2 in the “as installed” condition. Adjust the air
shutter(s) so that the CO2 is about 8% or the O2 is
about 6.8% for appliances operating on Natural Gas.
For appliances operating on LP Gas adjust the air
shutter(s) so that the CO2 is about 9.2% or the O2 is
about 6.8%. Appliances with two blowers should be
adjusted so that the air shutters below each blower are
open the same amount.
Once the CO2 or O2 has been set, the manifold
pressure may be adjusted. Remove the 1/8 NPT plug
from the lower side of the gas valve that is to be set
and install a tting, hose and manometer. Start the
appliance and observe the manifold pressure. Manifold
pressure must be adjusted to 3.0 in. W.C. (0.75 kPa)
(for high altitude only, standard operating pressure is
2.5 in. W.C. (0.62 kPa)). It is adjusted by removing the
slotted cap on the gas valve and turning the adjustment
screw (beneath the cap) clockwise to increase
pressure and replaced after the adjustments have been
completed and the tting, hose and manometer have
been removed and the 1/8" plug has been replaced.
Repeat this process until all gas valves have been set.
Note: The pressure can be set only when the appliance
is operating and only when the particular gas valve
being adjusted is energized by a call for heat from the
staging control.
After all of the gas valve manifold pressures
have been set, the CO2 or O2 must be reset. CO2 or O2
will have changed when the manifold pressure was
adjusted. Open the air shutter(s) to reduce the CO2 or
O2 to the values achieved previously.
The procedure is complete when all gas valves
are adjusted to a manifold pressure of 3.0 in. W.C.
(0.75 kPa) and the CO2 is adjusted to 8.0% for Natural
Gas appliances or 9.2% for LP appliances. When using
an O2 analyzer, the correct O2 is 6.8% for both Natural
Gas and LP appliances.
Bradford White
Caution
Should any odor of gas be detected, or if the gas
burner does not appear to be functioning in a
normal manner, close main shutoff valve, do not
shut off switch, and contact your heating contractor,
gas company, or factory representative.
6.5 Shutting Down the Copper Brute II
1. Switch off the main electrical disconnect switch.
2. Close all manual gas valves.

3. WAIT FIVE (5) MINUTES.
4. Set the aquastat or thermostat to its lowest
setting.
5. Open all manual gas valves.
6. Reset all safety switches (pressure switch,
manual reset high limit, etc.).
7. Set the temperature controller to the desired
temperature setting and switch on electrical
power.
8. Burner will go through a prepurge period and
ignitor warm-up period, followed by ignition.
SECTION 7.
Maintenance
7.1 System Maintenance
1. Lubricate the system water-circulating pump, if
required, per the instructions on the pump.
2. If a strainer is employed in a pressure reducing
valve or the piping, clean it every six months.
3. Inspect the venting system for obstruction or
leakage at least once a year. Periodically clean
the screens in the vent terminal and combustion
air terminal (when used).
4. Keep the appliance area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other
ammable vapors and liquids.
5. If the appliance is not going to be used for
extended periods in locations where freezing
normally occurs, it should be isolated from the
system and completely drained of all water. All
systems connected to it should also be drained or
protected from freezing.

6. Low water cutoffs, if installed, should be
checked every 6 months. Float type low water
cutoff should be ushed periodically.
7. Inspect ue passages, and clean with brushes/
vacuums, if necessary. Sooting in ue passages
indicates improper combustion. Determine the
cause and correct.
8. Inspect the vent system and air intake system,
and if the vent system is Category III, ensure that
all joints are sealed properly. If joints need to
be resealed, completely remove existing sealing
material, and clean with alcohol. Apply new
sealing material, and re-assemble.

The gas and electric controls on the appliance
are engineered for long life and dependable operation,
but the safety of the equipment depends on their
proper functioning. It is strongly recommended that
a qualied service technician inspect the basic items
listed below every year.
a. Ignition controls
b. Ignitors
c. Water temperature control
d. Automatic gas valve
e. Pressure switches
f. Blowers
7.2.1 Burners
Close main manual gas valve before proceeding.
Checking the burners for debris - Remove the ignitor
inspection panels(s) and ignitor(s) and inspect the
burners through the ignitor hole(s) using a ashlight
to illuminate. If there is any indication of debris on
the burners that are visible, all the burners will need
to be inspected more thoroughly. Remove the screws
from around the front of the air box (large panel from
which the ignitor inspection panel(s) were removed),
and remove the large panel. Remove the gas manifold
assemblies and the burner panels. Inspect the burners.
Clean burners, if necessary, by blowing compressed
air from the outside of the burners into the center
of the burner. A dirty burner may be an indication
of improper combustion or dirty combustion air.
Determine the cause, and correct. Replace the burners
in the reverse order
7.2.2 Filter
The lter used in the heater is washable with an
83% arrestance. Since the lter is washable, it will
only need replacement when unwashable, deteriorated
or damaged. If lter replacement is needed, it should
only be replaced with a factory part. Inspect the air
lter. If there is debris on the air lter, remove it from
the lter box, and wash it with mild soap and water.
Ensure that the lter is completely dry before reinstalling, in reverse order.
7.2.3 Gas Valves
The gas valves are designed to operate with
supply pressures of 4-13 inches w.c. (1.0 to 3.2 kPa).
To remove a valve, shut off 120-volt power and
the manual gas shutoff valve. Remove the top front
panel from the unit. Disconnect the wires to the valve.
Disengage the anges before and after the valve,
and remove the valve. Re-install in reverse order,
ensuring that the gasket o-rings are placed properly
in the grooves on the anges. Turn on manual gas
shutoff valve and 120 volt power and check appliance
operation and tightness of gas valve connections.
7.2.4 Manual Reset High Limit Control
The high limit switch is manual reset switch
with an adjustable set point, up to 200°F (93°C). To
replace the switch, shut off the 120-volt power to the
appliance. Remove the cover from the switch to access
the mounting screws. Remove the screws, and pull
the switch off the control panel. Remove the capillary
and bulb from the thermal well located in the header.
Replace in reverse order.
7.2.5 Automatic Reset High Limit Control
An automatic reset high limit is used in addition
to the manual reset high limit. The high limit switch
has an adjustable set point, up to 200°F (93°C). To
replace the switch, shut off the 120-volt power to the
appliance. Remove the cover from the switch to access
the mounting screws. Remove the screws, and pull
the switch off the control panel. Remove the capillary
and bulb from the thermal well located in the header.
Replace in reverse order.
7.2.6 Temperature Control
The temperature control is a Bradford White
LHSC. To replace the control, shut off the 120-volt
power to the appliance. Remove the cover from the
control panel, and remove the mounting screws to
remove the controller. Replace in reverse order.
7.2.7 Ignition Controls
The ignition controls ensure the proved
interrupted-type ignition system. They control the
hot surface ignitors and prove that the ame signal
is appropriate for powering the gas valves. It also
controls the blower’s pre-purge and post-purge.
Copper Brute II models 500 and 750 have one ignition
control. Models 1000 to 2000 have two ignition
controls. On models 1000, one ignition control
controls stages 1 and 2, and the second ignition control
controls stage 3. On models 1250-2000, one ignition
control is for stages 1 and 2, and the other is for stages
3 and 4.
To replace a control, shut off the 120-volt power
to the appliance. Remove the cover from the control
panel. Remove the electrical connectors from the
ignition control. Take out the controller’s mounting
screws, and pull the controller out. Replace in reverse
order.
7.2.8 Ignitors
The ignitors used are 120v “Hot Surface” type.
They are energized whenever there is a call for heat
and switched off when ignition is established and the
ame has been sensed. Copper Brute II models 500
and 750 have one ignitor. Models 1000 to 2000 have
two ignitors. To replace the ignitor, shut off the 120volt power to the appliance, remove the ignitor access
panel, disconnect the Molex connector, remove the
two mounting screws on the ignitor ange, and pull the
Page 33
Internet Version for Reference Only
Copper Brute II
Page 33
ignitor out. Install in reverse order, always using a new
ignitor gasket with the replacement ignitor.
Caution
Ignitor gets hot.
7.2.9 Ignition Sensors
The ignition sensors ensure that the main ame
is ignited, so that raw gas is not allowed to ll the
combustion chamber. Copper Brute II models 500 and
750 have one sensor. Models 1000 to 2000 have two
sensors (one for each ignition control). The ignitors
are the ignition sensors on the heater. There are no
separate ignition sensors.
7.2.10 Transformer
The Copper Brute II’s transformer is not capable
of supplying control voltage for external devices such
as zone valves, which must have their own separate
power supply. Should a transformer need replacing,
shut off the 120-volt power. Unplug the transformer
wires, remove the mounting screws and remove the
transformer. Replace transformer in the reverse order.
7.2.11 Blowers
The combustion air blowers bring the
combustion air for the heater from the upper chamber
to the lower chamber. Mixing of the gas and air occurs
in the burners. Models 500, 750 and 1000 each have
one blower, and models 1250 to 2000 each have two
blowers (one blower for stages 1 and 2, and one for
stages 3 and 4). If a blower change is required, turn off
the 120-volt power and gas supply to the unit. Remove
the front panel. Disconnect the blower's wire harness.
Remove the screws at the blower ange, and pull the
blower out. Replace blower in reverse order, ensuring
that all joints are made correctly. After replacement,
ensure that the unit operates properly, by following the
set-up procedure in this manual.
7.2.12 Flow Switch
The heater uses a paddle-type ow switch to
ensure that the unit has water ow before ignition is
allowed.
7.2.13 Heat Exchanger Coil
WARNING
Black carbon soot buildup on a dirty heat exchanger
can be ignited by a random spark or ame, thereby
creating a risk of re or explosion.. To prevent this
from happening, dampen the soot deposits with a
wet brush or ne water spray before servicing the
heat exchanger.
The heater has a pre-mixed burner system. These
systems provide the burners with sufcient air for
complete combustion, and black carbon sooting is
seldom experienced. If sooting is suspected, view ports
for inspection of the heat exchanger are provided on
both sides of the heater. They are located below the
headers, and are accessed by opening the small round
cover that is attached by one screw. In the unlikely
event that there is a buildup of black carbon soot
or other debris on the heat exchanger, clean per the
following:
1. Disconnect the electrical supply to the unit.
2. Turn off the gas supply by closing the manual gas
valve on the heater.
3. Disconnect and remove the wires, conduit and
sensors from all components that are attached to
the inlet/outlet header.
4. Isolate the heat exchanger from the water supply.
5. Disconnect the header anges from the inlet and
outlet.
6. Allow the heat exchanger to drain. Remove the
front cover(s) by removing the rubber access
strip(s) and the retaining screws. Remove the
venting and remove the top, by removing the
screws that attach the top to the side panels.
Remove the side panels. Remove the front lower
panels sealing the combustion area. To remove
the gas train, disconnect the unions located
below the intermediate pan and the eld installed
union located outside the cabinet, and pull up,
bringing the union end connectors through the
grommets in the intermediate pan. To remove the
intermediate pan, remove the slide out control
assembly and blower(s) to reveal the screws.
Remove the screws holding the intermediate pan,
and lift up to remove it. The heat exchanger has
integral metal sections attached, which connect
to the frame of the heater. Locate and remove
the screws along the front, rear and bottom of
the integral metal sections, and remove the heat
exchanger and metal sections by lifting up. On
the larger appliances, a center heat exchanger
support must be unbolted before it can be
removed.
7. Remove the heat exchanger from the unit.
NOTE: The heat exchangers are heavy and may
require two people to remove to avoid personal
injury.
8. Clean the heat exchanger: A light accumulation
of soot or corrosion on the outside of the heat
exchanger can be easily removed. Use a wire
brush to remove loose soot and scale from the
heat exchanger. Do not use water or compressed
air for cleaning.
9. NOTE: While the heat exchanger is out of the
unit, inspect the rewall refractory insulation.
Replace if necessary.

10. Inspect the inside of the copper tubes for scale
buildup. Scale can build up on the inner surface
of the heat exchanger tubes, which can restrict
water ow. If the tubes show signs of scaling,
clean the internal surface. Bradford White offers
a tube cleaning kit part number R0010000.
11. Reassemble in the reverse order, and check
appliance operation after start-up.
NOTE: The Warranty does not cover damage
caused by lack of required maintenance, lack of
water ow, or improper operating practices.
SECTION 8.
Trouble Shooting
8.1 Resolving Lockouts
There are many causes of lockouts. The three
most common causes are: (1) inadequate gas supply,
(2) poor combustion, (3) ignitor failure.
1. Inadequate gas supply: Before proceeding, ensure
that the gas supply has not been shutoff or the LP
tank (LP heaters) is not empty. Then, restart the
heater and observe the operational cycle. After
a 15-second fan pre-purge, the ignitor will heat
up for 20 seconds, and then the unit will light.
If it does not, check the gas supply pressure to
the appliance, after resetting the appliance and
attempting another start-up. The gas pressure to
the appliance must be above 5" W.C. (1.2kPa)
throughout the entire start-up cycle. If it is not,
correct the supply problem (check gas valves or
supply piping). If the supply pressure is adequate,
consult the factory for assistance.
2. Poor Combustion: Poor combustion should
be suspected if there is a strong ue gas odor.
The odor may result from an improper gas/air
ratio (high or low O2 or CO2). Copper Brute II
appliances operate best with 45% excess air (8%
CO2 on natural gas, 9.2% CO2 on LP). Check the
CO2 of the appliance and adjust if necessary.
3. Ignitor failure: If the heater goes through a
normal start cycle but combustion does not
occur, ignitor failure should be suspected. Check
the ignitor by unplugging the ignitor plug and
measuring the ignitor resistance. It should be
50-80 ohms. If the resistance is not 50-80 ohms,
replace the ignitor. If the resistance is correct,
reset the heater and check for 120 VAC at the
ignitor plug during the start cycle. If there is no
voltage, replace the faulty ignitor wire harness or
the ignition control.
8.2 Delayed Ignition — Possible Causes
A defective burner can cause a delayed ignition.
If the gas supply pressure is proper and the gas
valves are functioning properly, then burners should
be inspected. There should be no distortion or
perforations in the burners outside of the active burner
port area. Replace if indicated.
8.3 Short Cycling
Short cycling will generally occur only in
combination space heating and water heating
applications when the water heater is operating in the
space-heating mode. Because the Copper Brute II is a
stage-red water heater and its input will reduce when
there is a reduction in heating load, short cycling is
greatly reduced. If the heating load drops below the
minimum input of the water heater for an extended
period, the water heater will have a tendency to short
cycle. If short cycling is frequently experienced,
regardless of the control’s attempt to limit it, the
heating load should be redistributed to control it. See
Section 6.2 regarding controller setup.
If short cycling occurs in a water heater
application, it is probably caused by undersized
piping between the water heater and the storage tank
or by some other factor that restricts proper water
ow through the water heater. The cause should be
determined and corrected.
8.4 High Gas Consumption
Appliances operating with an improper air/fuel
ratio are very inefcient and consequently, have
very high gas consumption. Because efciency is
high when the CO2 is high (or O2 is low), appliances
operating with low CO2 or high O2 (especially LP
appliances) consume more gas. Adjust the CO2 or O2
for optimum efciency. If no combustion analyzing
equipment (CO2 or O2) is available then a proper
adjustment of the air/fuel ratio (CO2 or O2) cannot be
accomplished. However, by briey snifng the ue
gases it is possible to determine if the CO2 or O2 is
within the proper range. No signicant ue gas odor
should be detected when combustion is proper. A
strong piercing smell indicates poor combustion and
generally a lean mixture - low CO2 or high O2 . The
CO2 should be 8% at high re. To check the CO2, rst
verify that the supply gas pressure is within 5" to 13"
w.c. (1.2 to 3.2 kPa) With the heater running with all
stages ring, set the air box pressure to 1.5" w.c. (0.37
kPa) (as a starting point), by adjusting the air shutter(s)
at the bottom of the fan(s). Check the CO2, and adjust
the air shutters if further adjustment to the CO2 is
needed. Models 1250 to 2000 have two blowers and
two air chambers (boxes). The pressure of each air box
must be equal when the nal adjustment is made.

8.6 Troubleshooting Copper Brute II
Controls
The Copper Brute II series consists of two 2-
stage models (500 and 750), one 3-stage model (1000),
and four 4-stage models (1250 to 2000). The 2-stage
models have one ignition module, and the 3- and
4-stage models have two ignition modules capable of
independent operation.
A diagnostic panel, that includes test points, as
well as diagnostic lights, is provided in the control
module. It is located on the right side of the module,
behind the display. To access, remove the retaining
screws from the display cover panel and remove
it. Grasp the control module at its base and pull it
outward. Ladder diagrams are shown in Figures 18
through 20. Voltage test points on the diagnostic
panel are indicated by solid circles connected by short
diagonal lines.
Figure 18 shows the diagram for the 2-stage
models 500 and 750. These have one blower and one
ignition module. The blower is energized directly
through the “inducer” terminals F1 and F2 of the
(Fenwal) ignition module. The 24V power to the 2nd
stage gas valve is routed through the 1st stage VALVE
terminal, so that stage 2 cannot re unless the stage 1
gas valve is open. The 750 differs from the 500 only
in that the 750 has two gas trains in stage 1, while the
500 has only one.
The ladder diagram for the model 1000 is shown
in Figure 19. Ignition module #1 handles stages 1 and
2, and ignition module #2 handles stage 3. The single
blower is energized directly through the “inducer”
terminals of either ignition module. The 24V power to
the T’STAT terminal of both ignition modules is routed
through the safety interlocks.
The ladder diagram for models 1250 to 2000 is
shown in Figure 20. These 4-stage models have two
ignition modules, each with its own blower, and each
controlling 2 stages. The blowers are energized by
the ignition modules indirectly via switching relays.
When either ignition module receives a call for heat, it
switches its blower to high speed and the blower of the
idle ignition module to low speed.
The wiring schematics for the Copper Brute II
500 – 1000 are shown in Figure 21, and the schematics
for the 1250 to 2000 are shown in Figure 22. All 24V
wiring is routed through the diagnostic PC board.
Wiring harnesses connect between the diagnostic PC
board and the control components, indicator board,
or eld wiring terminal strip. The diagnostic board
contains LEDs that indicate open status of the safety
interlocks, and quick-connect terminals that provide
tests points for checking voltage/continuity at various
points in the control circuit. Line-voltage connections
are routed via the line-voltage terminal buss.
Certain control elements that may need to be
re-wired in the eld are connected via the eld wiring
terminal strip rather than to the diagnostic PC board.
These include the low-water cutoff (LWCO), water
ow switch, and inlet/outlet water temperature sensors.
