1.3 Warranty
Bradford White’s Copper Brute II heaters are
covered by a limited warranty. The owner should
ll out the warranty registration card and return it to
Bradford White.
All warranty claims must be made to an
authorized Bradford White representative or directly
to the factory. Claims must include the serial number
and model (this information can be found on the rating
plate), installation date, and name of the installer.
Shipping costs are not included in the warranty
coverage.
Some accessory items are shipped in separate
packages. Verify receipt of all packages listed on
the packing slip. Inspect everything for damage
immediately upon delivery, and advise the carrier of
any shortages or damage. Any such claims should be
led with the carrier. The carrier, not the shipper, is
responsible for shortages and damage to the shipment
whether visible or concealed.
1.4 Dimensions
See Figure 1.
1.5 Locating the Appliance
The appliance should be located to provide
clearances on all sides for maintenance and inspection.
It should not be located in an area where leakage of
any connections will result in damage to the area
adjacent to the appliance or to lower oors of the
structure.
When such a location is not available, it is
recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately
drained, be installed under the appliance.
The appliance is design certied by CSA-
International for installation on combustible ooring;
in basements; in closets, utility rooms or alcoves.
Copper Brute II Water Heaters must never be
installed on carpeting. The location for the appliance
should be chosen with regard to the vent pipe lengths
and external plumbing. The unit shall be installed such
that the gas ignition system components are protected
from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during
operation and service (circulator replacement, control
replacement, etc.). When vented vertically, the heater
must be located as close as practical to a chimney or
outside wall. If the vent terminal and/or combustion
air terminal terminate through a wall, and there is
potential for snow accumulation in the local area, both
terminals should be installed at an appropriate level
above grade.
The dimensions and requirements that are shown
in Table 2 should be met when choosing the locations
for the heater.
