WARNING
For indoor installations, as an additional
measure of safety, National Combustion Co.
strongly recommends installation of suitable
Carbon Monoxide detectors in the vicinity of this
appliance and in any adjacent occupied spaces.
AVERTISSEMENT
Pour des installations intérieures, National
Combustion Co. recommande fortement, comme
mesure de sécurité supplémentaire, l’installation
de détecteurs de monoxyde de carbone adaptés
dans le voisinage de l’appareil et dans chacune
des pièces habitées adjacentes.
2.A Combustion Air
Brute Deluxe boilers and water heaters must
have provisions for combustion and ventilation air in
accordance with the applicable sections addressing
requirements for air for combustion and ventilation of
the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1. In Canada,
the applicable sections of the Natural Gas and Propane
Installation Code (CSA B149.1) must be followed. In
all cases any and all applicable local installation codes
must also be followed.
A Brute Deluxe appliance may receive
combustion air from the space in which it is installed,
or it can be ducted directly to the unit from the outside.
Proper ventilation air must be provided in either case.
2.A.1 Combustion Air From Room
In the United States, the most common
requirements specify that the space shall communicate
with the outdoors in accordance with method 1 or 2,
which follow. Where ducts are used, they shall be of
the same cross-sectional area as the free area of the
openings to which they connect.
Method 1: Two permanent openings, one
commencing within 12 inches (30 cm) of the top
and one commencing within 12 inches (30 cm) of
the bottom, of the enclosure shall be provided. The
openings shall communicate directly, or by ducts,
with the outdoors or spaces that freely communicate
with the outdoors. When directly communicating
with the outdoors, or when communicating to the
outdoors through vertical ducts, each opening shall
have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 4000
Btu/hr (5.5 square cm/kW) of total input rating of all
equipment in the enclosure. When communicating to the
outdoors through horizontal ducts, each opening shall
have a minimum free area of not less than 1 square inch
per 2000 Btu/hr (11 square cm/kW) of total input rating
of all equipment in the enclosure. Table 1 shows data for
this sizing method, for each Brute Deluxe model.
Method 2: One permanent opening, commencing
within 12 inches (30 cm) of the top of the enclosure,
shall be permitted. The opening shall directly
communicate with the outdoors or shall communicate
through a vertical or horizontal duct to the outdoors
or spaces that directly communicate with the outdoors
and shall have a minimum free area of 1 square inch
per 3000 Btu/hr (7 square cm/kW) of the total input
rating of all equipment located in the enclosure. This
opening must not be less than the sum of the areas of
all vent connectors in the conned space.
Other methods of introducing combustion and
ventilation air are acceptable, providing they conform
to the requirements in the applicable codes listed
above.
In Canada, consult local building and safety
codes or, in absence of such requirements, follow CSA
B149.1, the Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code.

2.B Venting
2.B.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), denes a
Category I vent system, and includes rules and tables
to size these vent systems. If the Brute Deluxe’s
vertical vent system does not satisfy the criteria for
Category I venting, it must be vented as a Category III
system.
All Brute Deluxe vent systems which discharge
horizontally (without the use of a power venter) are
considered Category III vent systems.
2.B.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 ue draft does not exceed
(negative) 0.1 in. w.c.
If using a power venter for any type of Category
I venting, the draft should be set between (negative)
0.01 and 0.05 in. w.c.
2.B.3 Common Venting Systems
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 qualied 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 inltrate occupied spaces.
If the appliances are allowed to operate in this
condition, serious injury or death may occur.
WARNING
Operation of appliances with a blocked common
vent may lead to serious injury or death. 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.
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 3).
Use single-wall galvanized pipe 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).
Term Description
Pipe Single-wall galvanized steel pipe, 24 gauge
minimum (either insulated or non-insulated)
Joint Sealing Permanent duct tape or aluminum tape
Table 3. Required Combustion Air Piping
Material.
The connection for the intake air pipe is on the
lter 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 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 Brute Deluxe loses less than 1
percent of its input rating to the room, but other heat
sources may be present.

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 eective 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.
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 gases into
living spaces, common venting should not be applied,
and appliances should each be vented separately.
2.B.4 Category III Vent
When the Brute Deluxe is vented with horizontal
discharge, it must be installed per this installation
manual and the venting system manufacturers
installation instructions. The vent system must be
sealed stainless steel, per Table 4.
Term Description
Pipe Must comply with UL Standard 1738 such
as Type AL29-4C Stainless Steel
(either insulated or non-insulated).
Joint
Sealing
Follow vent manufacturer's instructions.
Table 4. Required Horizontal Venting Material.
Route the vent pipe to the heater as directly as
possible. Seal all joints and provide adequate hangers
as required in the venting system manufacturers
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.
2.C Locating Vent & Combustion Air
Terminals
2.C.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 4 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.

2.C.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.)
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 4).
2.C.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 3).
2.C.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 3).
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.D Common Vent Test — Boilers
When an existing boiler is removed from a
common venting system, the common venting system
is likely to be too large for proper venting of the
appliances remaining connected to it.
At the time of removal of an existing boiler, the
following steps shall be followed with each appliance
remaining connected to the common venting system
placed in operation, while the other appliances
remaining connected to the common venting system
are not in operation.
1. Seal any unused openings in the common venting
system.
2. Visually inspect the venting system for proper
size and horizontal pitch and determine there is
non blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion
and other deciencies which could cause an
unsafe condition.
3. Insofar as it is practical, close all building doors
and windows and all doors between the space in
which the appliances remaining connected to the
common venting system are located and other
spaces of the building. Turn on clothes dryers
and any appliance not connected to the common
venting system. Turn on any exhaust fans, such
as range hoods and bathroom exhausts, so they
will operate at maximum speed. Do not operate a
summer exhaust fan. Close replace dampers.
4. Place in operation the appliance being
inspected. Follow the lighting instructions.
Adjust thermostat so appliance will operate
continuously.
5. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening
after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use
the ame of a match or candle, or smoke from a
cigarette, cigar or pipe.
6. After it has been determined that each appliance
remaining connected to the common venting
Page 14
Bradford White Corp
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 with the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1,
Natural Gas and Propane 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
Appendix F in the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI
Z223.1/NFPA 54 and/or CSA B149.1, Natural
Gas and Propane Installation Codes.
2.D Véricationdeséventscommuns—
Chaudières
Lorsqu’une chaudière existante est déconnectée
du réseau d’évents commun, ce réseau d’évents
commun devient probablement trop grand pour
les appareils qui lui restent connectés. Lorsqu’une
chaudière existante est retirée, les étapes suivantes
doivent être accomplies pour chaque appareil qui
reste connecté au réseau d’évents commun utilisé,
alors que les autres appareils qui sont encore
connectés au réseau commun d’évents ne sont pas en
fonctionnement.:
1. Sceller toutes les ouvertures non utilisées du
système d'évacuation.
2. Inspecter de façon visuelle le système
d'évacuation pour déterminer la grosseur et
l'inclinaison horizontale qui conviennent et
s'assurer que le système est exempt d'obstruction,
d'étranglement, de fuite, de corrosion et autres
défaillances qui pourraient présenter des risques.
3. Dans la mesure du possible, fermer toutes les
portes et les fenêtres du bâtiment et toutes les
portes entre l'espace où les appareils toujours
raccordés au système d'évacuation sont installés
et les autres espaces du bâtiment. Mettre en
marche les sécheuses, tous les appareils non
raccordés au système d'évacuation common
et tous les ventilateurs d'extraction comme
les hottes de cuisinière et les ventilateurs des
salles de bain. S'assurer que ces ventilateurs
fonctionnent à la vitesse maximale. Ne pas faire
fonctionner les ventilateurs d'été. Fermer les
registres des cheminées.
4. Mettre l'appareil inspecté en marche. Suivre les
instructions d'allumage. Réegler le thermostat de
façon continue.
5. Faire fonctionner le brûleur principal pendant
5 min ensuite, déterminer si le coupe-tirage
déborde à l'ouverture de décharge. Utiliser la
amme d'une allumette ou d'une chandelle ou la
fumée d'une cigarette, d'un cigare ou d'une pipe.
6. Une fois qu'il a été déterminé, selon la méthode
indiquée ci-dessus, que chaque appareil
raccordé au système d'évacuation est mis à l'air
libre de façon adéquate. Remettre les portes
et les fenêtres, les ventilateurs, les registres de
cheminées et les appareils au gaz à leur position
originale.
7. Tout mauvais fonctionnement du système
d'évacuation commun devrait être corrigé
de façon que l'installation soit conforme au
National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA
54 et (ou) aux codes d'installation CSA-B149.1.

respecter les valeurs minimales des tableaux
pertinents de l'appendice F du National Fuel Gas
Code, ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54 et (ou) les codes
d'installation CSA-B149.1
2.E Vent Terminals for Outdoor Units
For outdoor applications, the vent and
combustion air openings must be covered with proper
terminals to prevent rain, snow and other objects from
falling into the Brute Deluxe.
Outdoor Vent / Air kit part numbers are shown in
Table 6. These kits contain parts for both combustion
air inlet and exhaust vent connections. An angled sheet
metal assembly with louvers replaces the sheet metal
assembly with the air collar. An adapter, a 12" length
of pipe, and a rain cap are included for the exhaust
vent opening.
If local codes allow, Bradford White kits are
not required for outdoor units. The installer may use
12" of appropriately sized galvanized single wall or
b-type vent pipe and a rain cap for the exhaust vent. In
addition, an appropriately sized galvanized 90° elbow,
positioned with the opening facing down, may be used
on the combustion air inlet.

Notes:
1. These gures are based on 1/2" (0.12 kPa) water column pressure drop.
2. Check supply pressure and local code requirements before proceeding with work.
3. Pipe ttings must be considered when determining gas pipe sizing.
Table 6. Gas Piping Size.
SECTION 3 Gas Supply and Piping
3.A Gas Supply and Piping
Gas piping should be supported by suitable
hangers or oor stands, not by the appliance.
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 o, and there is a manual valve on the left side.
If desired, the manual valve on the left side of the gas
train may be moved to the right side, and the cap on
the right side may be moved to the left.
Review the following instructions before
proceeding with the installation.
1. Verify that the appliance is tted for the proper
type of gas by checking the rating plate. Brute
Deluxe appliances are equipped to operate at
elevations up to 10,000 feet (3050m). Brute
Deluxe appliances may be adjusted to operate
properly at altitudes above 2500 feet (see Section
6.5.2) 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 6, to size supply.
4. Run gas supply line in accordance with all
applicable codes.
5. Locate and install manual shuto valves in
accordance with state and local requirements.
6. A sediment trap must be provided upstream of
the gas controls.
7. All threaded joints should be coated with
piping compound resistant to action of liqueed
petroleum gas.
8. The appliance and its individual shuto valve
must be disconnected from the gas supply piping
during any pressure testing of that system at test
pressures in excess of 0.5 psig (3.45 kpa).
9. The unit must be isolated from the gas supply
system by closing its individual manual shuto
valve during any pressure testing of the gas
supply piping system at test pressures equal to or
less than 0.5 psig (3.45 kpa).
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.
AVERTISSEMENT
Ne recherchez pas les fuites avec une flamme
nue. Une flamme nue peut provoquer une
explosion qui peut causer des dommages
matériels, de sérieuses blessures corporelles
ou la mort.
NOTE: The Brute Deluxe appliance and all other
gas appliances sharing the gas supply line must
be firing 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.

Bradford White Corp
SECTION 4 Water Connections —
4.A Brute Deluxe Boiler
4.A.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 oor stands. Do not support piping with
this appliance. Due to expansion and contraction of
copper pipe, consideration should be given to the type
of hangers used. Rigid hangers may transmit noise
through the system resulting from the piping sliding in
the hangers. It is recommended that padding be used
when rigid hangers are installed. Maintain 1" clearance
to combustibles for hot water pipes.
Pipe the discharge of the relief valve (full size)
to a drain or in a manner to prevent injury in the event
of pressure relief. Install an air purger, an air vent,
a diaphragm-type expansion tank, and a hydronic
ow check in the system supply loop. Minimum ll
pressure must be 12 psig (82.7 kPa). Install shuto
valves where required by code.
Suggested piping diagrams are shown as Figure 5,
Figure 6, Figure 7, and Figure 8, and Figure 9. These
diagrams are meant only as a guide. Components
required by local codes must be properly installed.
4.A.2 Cold Water Make-Up — Boiler
1. Connect the cold water supply to the inlet
connection of an automatic ll valve.
2. Install a suitable back ow preventer between the
automatic ll valve and the cold water supply.
3. Install shut o valves where required.
NOTE: The boiler, when used in connection with a
refrigeration system, must be installed so the chilled
medium is piped in parallel with the boiler with
appropriate valves to prevent the chilled medium
from entering the boiler.
The boiler piping system of a hot water heating
boiler connected to heating coils located in air
handling appliances where they may be exposed to
refrigerated air circulation must be equipped with ow
control valves or other automatic means to prevent
gravity circulation of the boiler water during the
cooling cycle.
A boiler installed above radiation level, or as
required by the authority having jurisdiction, must be
provided with a low water cuto device either as a part
of the boiler or at the time of boiler installation.
4.A.3 Water Flow Requirements — Boiler
A hydronic heating (closed loop) application
recirculates the same uid 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 ow rate has been
established based on the uid temperature rise for this
specic size boiler.
Pump-mounted boilers can be ordered for use in
primary secondary piping systems. The pumps used
are sized for the 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 ttings.
Table 8 species water ow 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.
4.A.4 Freeze Protection — Boiler
Boiler installations are not recommended in
areas where the danger of freezing exists unless proper
precautions are made for freeze protection. A non
toxic, heating system, anti-freeze may be added to
the hydronic system provided that the concentration
does not exceed 50% and the anti freeze contains an
anti foamant. When a 50/50 mixture is used, increase
the water ow requirements by 15%, and increase the
head loss requirements by 20%.
Power outage, interruption of gas supply, failure
of system components, activation of safety devices,
etc., may prevent a boiler from ring. Any time a
boiler is subjected to freezing conditions, and the
boiler is not able to re, and/or the water is not able
to circulate, there is a risk of freezing in the boiler
or in the pipes in the system. When water freezes,
it expands. This can result in bursting of pipes in the
system, or damage to the boiler, which could result in
leaking or ooding conditions.
IMPORTANT NOTES: Different glycol products
may provide varying degrees of protection. Glycol
products must be maintained properly in a heating
system, or they may become ineffective. Consult
the glycol specifications, or the glycol manufacturer,
for information about specific products,
maintenance of solutions, and set up according to
your particular conditions. Never use ethylene glycol
(automotive antifreeze).

4.B.1 Water System Piping — Water Heater
Hot water piping should be supported by suitable
hangers or oor stands. Do not support piping with
this appliance. Due to expansion and contraction of
copper pipe, consideration should be given to the type
of hangers used. Rigid hangers may transmit noise
through the system resulting from the piping sliding in
the hangers. It is recommended that padding be used
when rigid hangers are installed.
The Brute Deluxe can be used with several
dierent 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 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 heaters 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 as Figure 5,
Figure 6, Figure 7, and Figure 8, and Figure 9. These
diagrams are meant only as a guide. Components
required by local codes must be properly installed.

The minimum inlet water temperature for the
Brute Deluxe is 130°F (54°C) to avoid condensing on
the copper coils.
4.B.2 Hot Water Supply Piping —Water
Heater
Follow the tank manufacturers guidelines for
completion of the hot water system connections.
NOTE: A listed temperature and pressure relief
valve listed as complying with the Standard
for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff
Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems (ANSI
Z21.22/CSA 4.4), of suitable discharge capacity
must be installed in the separate storage tank
system.
If the Brute Deluxe water heater is installed in
a closed water supply system, such as one having a
backow preventer in the cold water supply line, the
relief valve may discharge periodically, due to thermal
expansion. Means (such as a properly-sized expansion
tank) shall be provided to control thermal expansion.
Contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector
on how to control this situation.
4.B.3 Water Flow Requirements —
Water Heater
In a water heating application (an open system),
new water is constantly being introduced. With the
new water comes a fresh supply of minerals that can
be deposited on the unit’s heat exchanger. This is
commonly known as scaling. The amount of minerals
will depend upon the hardness of the water. Water can
also be aggressive, and can erode metals, including
copper, if the water is moved too quickly. The water
ow requirements for the Brute Deluxe water heater
are based upon the hardness of the water. The water
ow is kept high enough to prevent scaling, but low
enough to prevent tube erosion. For extremely soft or
hard water, 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. 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. For hard water
conditions (more than 17 grains per gallon), use a
non-pump-mounted heater with a properly-sized eld-
installed pump.
Table 8 species 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.B.4 Combined Water Heating (potable) and
Space Heating — Water Heater
NOTE: These systems are not allowed in the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Piping and components connected to this water
heater for the space heating application shall be
suitable for use with potable water.
Toxic chemicals, such as used for boiler
treatment, shall not be introduced into the potable
water used for space heating.
This water heater when used to supply potable
water shall not be connected to any heating system
or component(s) previously used with a non-potable
water heating appliance.
When the system requires water for heating at
temperatures higher than required for other uses,
an anti-scald mixing or tempering valve shall be
installed to temper the water for those uses in order
to reduce scald hazard potential.
4.B.5 Freeze Protection — Water Heater
Although Brute Deluxe water heaters are design-
certied for outdoor installations, such installations
are not recommended in areas subject to freezing
temperatures, unless proper precautions are taken.
Power outage, interruption of gas supply, failure
of system components, activation of safety devices,
etc., may prevent a heater from ring. Any time a
heater is subjected to freezing conditions, and the
heater is not able to re, and/or the water is not
able to circulate, there is a risk of freezing in the
heater or in the pipes in the system. When water
freezes, it expands. This can result in bursting of pipes
in the system, or damage to the heater, which could
result in leaking or ooding conditions.
Contact the local factory representative or
Bradford White for additional information.
