Brute Deluxe (200, 300, 400), Install & Operating 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 3). Use single-wall galvanized pipe for the combustion air intake (see Table 1 for appropriate size).

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.

Brute Deluxe (200, 300, 400), Install & Operating 7.B.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.B.
Page 36 SECTION 8 8.A Bradford White Corp Trouble Shooting 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. 2. 3. 8.B 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.
