GENERAL INFORMATION
USING THIS MANUAL – Because the Brute
Magnum Boilers and Brute Magnum Water
Heaters are identical appliances, with the exception
of materials of manufacture, labels and ultimate
use application, this manual provides information
for the proper installation, operation and
maintenance of both products. Where differences
exist between the application of the appliances and
their operation, the sections pertinent to only one
appliance or the other will be so identified.
WARNING
The Brute Magnum hydronic, boiler or water
heater 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 Magnum
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 Magnum (copper tube or
cupronickel tubes) appliances. Read it carefully before
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.
The Brute Magnum appliance is protected
against over pressurization. A pressure relief valve is
fitted to all appliances. It is installed inside the jacket,
at the water outlet of the unit. (See Sections 4A and 4B
for instructions on how to install a relief valve outlet.)
IMPORTANT: The inlet gas pressure to the appliance
must not exceed 13" W.C. (3.2kPa).
All installations must be made in accordance
with 1) American National Standard Z223.1/NFPA54-
Latest Edition “National Fuel Gas Code” or 2) CSA
B149.1 “Natural Gas and Propane Installation Code”
and with the requirement of the local utility or other
authorities having jurisdiction. Such applicable
requirements take precedence over the general
instructions contained herein.
All electrical wiring is to be done in accordance
with the local codes, or in the absence of local codes,
with: 1) The National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA No.
70-latest Edition, or 2) CSA STD. C22.1 “Canadian
Electrical Code - Part 1”. This appliance must be
electrically grounded in accordance with these codes.
