GENERAL INFORMATION

WARNING
Brute units must be installed in accordance with the
procedures detailed in this manual, or the Bradford
White warranty will be voided. The installation must
conform to the requirements of the local jurisdiction
having authority, and, in the United States, to the latest
edition of the National Fuel Gas Code, ANSI Z223.1/
NFPA54. In Canada, the installation must conform
to the latest edition of CSA B149.1 Natural Gas and
Propane Gas Installation Code, and/or local codes.
Where required by the authority having jurisdiction,
the installation of Brute boilers must conform to
the Standard for Controls and Safety Devices for
Automatically Fired Boilers, ANSI/ASME CSD-1. Any
modifications to the boiler, its gas controls, or wiring
may void the warranty. If field conditions require
modifications, consult the factory representative before
initiating such modifications.

1.1 Introduction

This manual provides information necessary for the
installation, operation, and maintenance of Bradford
White Brute appliances. Read it carefully before starting
the installation.
All application and installation procedures should
be reviewed completely before proceeding with the
installation. Consult the Bradford White factory, or local
factory representative, with any problems or questions
regarding this equipment. Experience has shown that
most operating problems are caused by improper
installation.
Brute is protected against over pressurization. A
pressure relief valve is included with each Brute.
Some Brutes may require that the PRV be installed
prior to filling the system. Refer to Figures 1-7 for PRV
locations.
DANGER
The inlet gas pressure to the appliance must not
exceed 13" W.C. (3.2kPa).
