Brute Deluxe (200, 300, 400), Install & Operating Table 3. Combustion Air Openings. 2.1.2 Intake Combustion Air 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 2).
Page 10 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.

Page 16 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.
Brute Deluxe (200, 300, 400), Install & Operating water flow 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 firing. Any time a boiler is subjected to freezing conditions, and the boiler is not able to fire, 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.

Water Connections — Brute Deluxe Water Heater 4B.1 Water System Piping — Water Heater Hot water piping should be supported by suitable hangers or floor 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.

Caution Water may be hot enough to scald. Allow water to cool before proceeding. Attention L’eau peut être chaude au point de vous brûler. Laissez refroidir l’eau avant d’intervenir. Release pressure in the system by actuating the pressure relief valves or field supplied boiler drain valve.
Brute Deluxe (200, 300, 400), Install & Operating SECTION 8. Trouble Shooting 8.1 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. 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.
