Brute Deluxe (500-2000) NOTE: 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 2. The larger vent collar size is to accommodate Category I (vertical) vent systems. NOTE: When located on the same wall, the Brute Deluxe combustion air intake terminal must be installed a minimum of 12" (30cm) below the exhaust vent terminal and separated by a minimum of 36 inches (91cm) horizontally.
BRADFORD WHITE CORP. Page 8 rating to the room, but other heat sources may be present. 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 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.
Brute Deluxe (500-2000) Page 9 lation 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. 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.

BRADFORD WHITE CORP. Page 12 5. 6. 7. Test for spillage at the draft hood relief opening after 5 minutes of main burner operation. Use the flame of a match or candle, or smoke from a cigarette, cigar or pipe. 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, fireplace dampers and any other gas burning appliance to their previous conditions of use.
Brute Deluxe (500-2000) 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 6.6.2) 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.
Page 14 diaphragm-type expansion tank, and a hydronic flow check in the system supply loop. Minimum fill pressure must be 12psig (82.7kPa). Install shutoff valves where required by code. Suggested piping diagrams are shown (see Figures 6 through 14). 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. 2. 3. Connect the cold water supply to the inlet connection of an automatic fill valve.
Brute Deluxe (500-2000) through 13. 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 120°F (49°C) to avoid condensing on the copper coils. 4B.2 Hot Water Supply Piping — Water Heater Follow the tank manufacturer’s guidelines for completion of the hot water system connections.

No attempt should be made to connect electrical wires to any other location except the wiring box. 5.1 Main Power The main power requires a 120-volt fused supply that is connected to the “main power” terminal strip. The over current protection must be sized as specified ( Figure 15).

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.
Brute Deluxe (500-2000) 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.
Page 28 design to achieve its stage-firing. 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. 1. Using this manual, make sure the installation is complete and fully in compliance with the instructions. 2.
Brute Deluxe (500-2000) appliances or 9.2% for LP appliances (to be checked only at full fire). When using an O2 analyzer, the correct O2 is 6.8% for both Natural Gas and LP appliances. 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. 6.7 Shutting Down the Brute Deluxe 1. 2. 3.
Page 30 7.2.2 Filter The filter used in the Brute Deluxe is washable with an 83% arrestance. Since the filter is washable, it will only need replacement when unwashable, deteriorated or damaged. If filter replacement is needed, it should only be replaced with a factory part. Inspect the air filter. If there is debris on the air filter, remove it from the filter box, and wash it with mild soap and water. Ensure that the filter is completely dry before reinstalling, in reverse order. 7.2.
Brute Deluxe (500-2000) The Brute Deluxe has a pre-mixed 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 right side of the boiler. They are located below the headers, and are accessed by opening the small round cover that is attached by one screw.
Page 32 8.3 Short Cycling — Boiler Because the Brute Deluxe is a stage-fired boiler, and its input will decrease when there is a reduction in heating load, short cycling is greatly reduced. If the heating load drops below the minimum input of the boiler for an extended period, the boiler will have a tendency to short cycle. This can be a symptom of improper control strategy or setpoints, or a load distribution problem. Contact your representative to discuss possible remedies. 8.
