Installation / Operation Instruction Manual

Brute Mini
5. Do not modify the automatic vent damper device.
It is very important that no other vents are closed.
Provide at least six inches clearance between
the automatic vent damper and combustible
construction, and be sure to allow access for
servicing the damper.
Temperature/Pressure Gauge: Install the temp/
pressure gauge provided in the parts box.
2B. Boiler Placement
1. The boiler must be placed to provide clearances
on all sides for maintenance and inspection. There
must also be minimum distances maintained from
combustible surfaces. Avoid locations which can
be damaged by water or moisture.
2. A minimum of 15" (381mm) access must be
available in front of the boiler for burner tray
removal. Consult local codes for clearances to hot
water pipes and accessories.
3. If the boiler is to be installed in a garage, all
burners and burner ignition devices must have
a minimum 18" (457mm) clearance
above the oor.
4. Boilers can be installed in a closet as long as
the minimum clearances shown in Table 2 are
observed. Special attention should be paid to
clearances between the front of the boiler and the
closet door when it is closed (see Figure 2).
2C. Flooring
BJVS model boilers can only be installed on
noncombustible ooring.
All boilers must be installed on a level oor and
must NEVER be installed on carpeting.
NEVER store objects on or around the boiler.
Noncombustible ooring is dened as ooring
material and surface nish not capable of being
ignited and burning and with no combustible materials
against the underside. Acceptable materials are those
consisting entirely of a combination of steel, iron,
brick, tile, concrete, slate, glass or plaster.
The Brute Mini can be installed on a combustible
oor if a noncombustible base assembly, available
from Bradford White, is used. See the Parts
List at the back of this manual for the appropriate
Noncombustible Base Kit part number.
Figure 1. Typical Combustible Floor Installation.
As an alternative to the Bradford White
Noncombustible Base Kit, in the United States the
National Fuel Gas Code allows a heater to be placed
on a combustible surface when there is a platform
under the heater made of hollow masonry no less
than 4 inches (102 millimeters [mm]) thick, covered
with sheet metal at least 24 gauge thick and extending
beyond the full width and depth of the heater by at
least 12 inches (305mm) in all directions. The masonry
must be laid with ends unsealed, and joints matched to
provide free circulation of air from side to side through
the masonry (see Figure 1). If the boiler is installed in
a carpeted alcove, the entire oor of the alcove must
be covered by a noncombustible platform.
2D. Clearance / Closet Installations
All Brute Mini JV's can be installed in a closet as
long as the minimum clearances are observed.
See Table 2A and Figure 2B for clearances
required for the Brute Mini
Special attention should be paid to clearances
between the front of the boiler and the closet door
when it is closed.
Consult the American National Standard Z21.13 for
more information concerning closet installations. In
Canada, refer to the latest edition of CSA-B149.1.
WARNING
This boiler is intended for indoor installation only.
Do not install this boiler in a location subject to
