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

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

as required in the venting system manufacturer’s
installation instructions. Horizontal portions of the
venting system must be supported to prevent sagging
and may not have any low sections that could trap
condensate.
The unit must not support the weight of the vent
pipe. Horizontal runs must slope downwards not less
than ¼ inch per foot (2 cm/m) from the unit to the vent
terminal.
L’appareil ne doit pas supporter le poids de la
gaine d’évent. Les parties horizontales doivent être
installées avec une pente de 2 cm/m (1/4 inch par pied)
descendant de l’appareil vers la sortie de l’évent.
Reference Table 1 for the size of the Category
III vent system. Up to three elbows can be used with
50 linear feet (15.2m) of pipe. Subtract 10 allowable
linear feet (3.0m) for every additional elbow used.
AVERTISSEMENT
Le fonctionnement d’appareils connectés à un
évent commun bouché peut provoquer de sérieuses
blessures corporelles ou la mort. Des dispositifs de
sécurité doivent être mis en place pour empêcher
que les appareils soient utilisés avec un évent
commun bouché. Si un fonctionnement sécuritaire
de tous les appareils reliés à un évent commun et si
la prévention des dégagements accidentels de gaz
de combustion dans des zones habitées ne peuvent
pas être assurés, un évent commun ne doit pas
être mis en place et les appareils doivent être munis
d’évents individuels séparés.
It is for this reason that, in addition to
following proper vent sizing, construction and safety
requirements from the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1 or in Canada, from the Natural Gas
and Propane Installation Code (CSA B149.1) as
well as all applicable local codes, it is required that
installers provide some means to prevent operation
with a blocked common vent. It is suggested that a
blocked vent safety system be employed such that if
the switch from one appliance trips due to excessive
stack spill or back pressure indicating a blocked vent
condition, that all appliances attached to the vent be
locked out and prevented from operating. Note that
the Brute Deluxe is equipped with a blocked vent
safety (pressure) switch, as shipped. However, this
safety switch has only been designed and tested to
be effective in installations where the Brute Deluxe
is vented separately and NOT common vented with
other appliances. As an additional precaution, it is
recommended that a Carbon Monoxide (CO) alarm be
installed in all enclosed spaces containing combustion
appliances. If assistance is required in determining
how a blocked vent safety system should be connected
to a Bradford White product, please call Applications
Engineering at the Rochester phone number on the
back cover of this manual.
2.3 Locating Vent & Combustion Air
Terminals
2.3.1 Side Wall Vent Terminal
The appropriate Bradford White side wall vent
terminal must be used, and is listed in the installation
and operation manual. The terminal provides a means
of installing the vent piping through the building wall,
and must be located in accordance with ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA 54 and applicable local codes. In Canada, the
installation must be in accordance with CSA B149.1
and local applicable codes. Consider the following
when installing the terminal:
1. Figure 3 shows the requirements for mechanical
vent terminal clearances for the U.S. and Canada.
2. Locate the vent terminal so that vent gases cannot
be drawn into air conditioning system inlets.
3. Locate the vent terminal so that vent gases cannot
enter the building through doors, windows,
gravity inlets or other openings. Whenever
possible, locations under windows or near doors
should be avoided.
4. Locate the vent terminal so that it cannot be
blocked by snow. The installer may determine
that a vent terminal must be higher than the
minimum shown in codes, depending upon local
conditions.
5. Locate the terminal so the vent exhaust does
not settle on building surfaces or other nearby
objects. Vent products may damage such surfaces
or objects.
Refer to the installation and operating
instructions on all appliances to be common vented
for instructions, warnings, restrictions and safety
requirements. If safe operation of all appliances
connected to a common vent cannot be assured,
including prevention of spillage of flue gases into
living spaces, common venting should not be applied,
and appliances should each be vented separately.
2.2.4 Category III Vent
Term
Pipe
Description
When the Brute Deluxe is vented with horizontal
discharge, it must be installed per this installation
manual and the venting system manufacturer’s

side wall. Consider the following when installing the
terminal:
1. Do not locate the air inlet terminal near a source
of corrosive chemical fumes (e.g., cleaning fluid,
chlorinated compounds, etc.)
2. Locate the terminal so that it will not be subject
to damage by accident or vandalism.
3. Locate the combustion air terminal so that it
cannot be blocked by snow. The National Fuel
Gas Code requires that it be at least 12 inches (30
cm) above grade, but the installer may determine
it should be higher, depending upon local
conditions.
4. If the Brute Deluxe is side-wall vented to the
same wall, locate the vent terminal at least 3
feet (0.9m) horizontally from the combustion air
terminal, and locate the vent terminal at least 1
foot (0.3m) above the combustion air terminal
(see Figure 3).

The Brute Deluxe’s gas train allows the user to
pipe the gas from either the right side or the left side
of the unit. As shipped, the right side of the gas train is
capped off, and there is a manual valve on the left side.
If desired, the manual valve on the left side of the gas
train may be moved to the right side, and the cap on
the right side may be moved to the left.
10. The appliance and its gas connection must be
leak tested before placing it in operation.
11. Purge all air from gas lines.
WARNING
Do not use open flame to check for leaks. An open
flame could lead to explosion, which could result in
property damage, serious injury or death.
Review the following instructions before
proceeding with the installation.
1. Verify that the appliance is fitted for the proper
type of gas by checking the rating plate. Brute
Deluxe appliances are equipped to operate at
elevations up to 10,000 feet (3050m). Brute
Deluxe appliances may be adjusted to operate
properly at altitudes above 2500 feet (see Section
6.5.2) and the input will be reduced if the heating
value of the gas supply is below sea level values.
2. The maximum inlet gas pressure must not
exceed 13" w.c. (3.2kPa). The minimum inlet gas
pressure is 5 in. w.c. (1.2 kPa).
3. Refer to Table 7, size supply.
4. Run gas supply line in accordance with all

4A.3 Water Flow Requirements — Boiler
A hydronic heating (closed loop) application
recirculates the same fluid in the piping system. As a
result, no new minerals or oxygen are introduced into
the system. To ensure a proper operating temperature
leading to long boiler life, a flow rate has been
established based on the fluid temperature rise for this
specific size boiler.
Pump-mounted boilers can be ordered for use in
primary secondary piping systems. The pumps used
are sized for the head loss through the heater, plus 30
feet (9.1 m) of full-sized piping (same size as boiler
outlet) and a normal number of fittings.
Table 8 specifies water flow rates for boilers,
which will enable the user to size a pump. The head
loss shown is for the heater only, and the user will
need to add the head loss of the system piping to
properly size the pump.
The minimum inlet water temperature for the
Brute Deluxe is 120°F (49°C) to avoid condensing on
the copper coils.
SECTION 4A.
Water Connections —
Brute Deluxe Boiler
4A.1 Heating System Piping:
Hot Supply Connections — Boiler
NOTE: This appliance must be installed in a closed
pressure system with a minimum of 12 psig (82.7
kPa) static pressure at the boiler.
Hot water piping should be supported by suitable
hangers or floor stands. Do not support piping with
this appliance. Due to expansion and contraction of
copper pipe, consideration should be given to the type
of hangers used. Rigid hangers may transmit noise
through the system resulting from the piping sliding in
the hangers. It is recommended that padding be used
when rigid hangers are installed. Maintain 1" clearance
to combustibles for hot water pipes.
Pipe the discharge of the relief valve (full size)
to a drain or in a manner to prevent injury in the event
of pressure relief. Install an air purger, an air vent,
a diaphragm-type expansion tank, and a hydronic
flow check in the system supply loop. Minimum fill
pressure must be 12 psig (82.7 kPa). Install shutoff
valves where required by code.
4A.4 Freeze Protection — Boiler
Boiler installations are not recommended in
areas where the danger of freezing exists unless proper
precautions are made for freeze protection. A non
toxic, heating system, anti-freeze may be added to
the hydronic system provided that the concentration
does not exceed 50% and the anti freeze contains an
anti foamant. When a 50/50 mixture is used, increase
the water flow requirements by 15%, and increase the
head loss requirements by 20%.
Suggested piping diagrams are shown in Figures
4, 5, 6, 7 and 8. These diagrams are meant only as a
guide. Components required by local codes must be
properly installed.
4A.2 Cold Water Make-Up — Boiler
1. Connect the cold water supply to the inlet
connection of an automatic fill valve.
Power outage, interruption of gas supply, failure
of system components, activation of safety devices,
etc., may prevent a boiler from firing. Any time a
boiler is subjected to freezing conditions, and the
boiler is not able to fire, and/or the water is not able
to circulate, there is a risk of freezing in the boiler
or in the pipes in the system. When water freezes,
it expands. This can result in bursting of pipes in the
system, or damage to the boiler, which could result in
leaking or flooding conditions.
IMPORTANT NOTES: Different glycol products
may provide varying degrees of protection. Glycol
products must be maintained properly in a heating
system, or they may become ineffective. Consult
the glycol specifications, or the glycol manufacturer,
for information about specific products,
2. Install a suitable back flow preventer between the
automatic fill valve and the cold water supply.
3. Install shut off valves where required.
NOTE: The boiler, when used in connection with a
refrigeration system, must be installed so the chilled
medium is piped in parallel with the boiler with
appropriate valves to prevent the chilled medium
from entering the boiler.
The boiler piping system of a hot water heating
boiler connected to heating coils located in air
handling appliances where they may be exposed to
refrigerated air circulation must be equipped with flow
control valves or other automatic means to prevent
gravity circulation of the boiler water during the
cooling cycle.
A boiler installed above radiation level, or as
required by the authority having jurisdiction, must be
provided with a low water cutoff device either as a part
of the boiler or at the time of boiler installation.
maintenance of solutions, and set up according to
your particular conditions. Never use ethylene glycol
(automotive antifreeze).

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

heater is subjected to freezing conditions, and the
heater is not able to fire, and/or the water is not
able to circulate, there is a risk of freezing in the
heater or in the pipes in the system. When water
freezes, it expands. This can result in bursting of pipes
in the system, or damage to the heater, which could
result in leaking or flooding conditions.
4B.5 Freeze Protection — Water Heater
Although Brute Deluxe water heaters are design-
certified for outdoor installations, such installations
are not recommended in areas subject to freezing
temperatures, unless proper precautions are taken.

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

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

1. Lubricate the system water-circulating pump, if
required, per the instructions on the pump.
2. If a strainer is employed in a pressure reducing
valve or the piping, clean it every six months.
3. Inspect the venting system for obstruction or
leakage at least once a year. Periodically clean
the screens in the vent terminal and combustion
air terminal (when used).
4. Keep the appliance area clear and free from
combustible materials, gasoline, and other
flammable vapors and liquids.
5. If the appliance is not going to be used for
extended periods in locations where freezing
normally occurs, it should be isolated from the
system and completely drained of all water. All
systems connected to it should also be drained or
protected from freezing.
1. Switch off the main electrical disconnect switch.
2. Close all manual gas valves.
3. WAIT FIVE (5) MINUTES.
4. Set the aquastat or thermostat to its lowest
setting.
5. Open all manual gas valves.

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

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

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

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