Installation Instructions
2.1 General Information
WARNING
Follow local regulations with respect to installation
of carbon monoxide (CO) detectors and
manufacturer's maintenance schedule of the heater.
Install the Copper Brute heaters in accordance
with the procedures in this manual (or the warranty
may be voided), local codes and ordinances. In the
absence of such codes, install the heaters in accordance
with the latest edition of the National Fuel Gas Code,
ANSI Z223.1. In Canada, the installation must be
in accordance with CAN1-B149.1 or .2 and local
codes. The authority having jurisdiction may require
the installation conform to the Standard for Controls
and Safety Devices for Automatically Fired Heaters,
ANSI/ASME CSD-1. Any changes to the heater, gas
controls, gas orices, wiring or draft diverter may void
the warranty. If eld conditions require a change to
any of the above, consult the factory.
All gas-red products require correct installation
to assure safe operation. The requirements for heaters
include the following:
1. Field assembly of drafthood or vent cap (see
Section 2.2).
2. Appropriate site location (clearances) and
ooring.
3. Sufcient combustion and ventilation air.
4. Adequate venting of combustion products.
5. Adequate water ow.
6. Properly sized gas meter and piping.
7. Proper electrical wiring.
This manual provides the information needed to
meet these requirements. Review all application and
installation procedures completely before continuing
the installation.
2.2 Field Assembly
The Copper Brute heater is shipped from the
factory with the top assembly in the low-prole
conguration for outdoor installations.
The Copper Brute heater is design certied
for indoor installation when equipped with a
special drafthood, which must be installed without

(see Figure 7). Refer to instruction sheet included
with cable.
2.3 Site Location
2.3.1 Installation Information
WARNING
Improper installation or maintenance can cause
nausea or asphyxiation from carbon monoxide
in ue gases which could result in severe injury,
property damage, or death.
Avoid placing the heater in locations where it can
be damaged by water or condensate leakage. If this is
not possible, provide a suitable drain pan to catch and
divert any leakage. The pan must not block natural
ow of air around the heater.
Locate the heater to provide adequate clearance
on all sides for inspection, service and to provide
adequate air circulation for proper operation.
Locate the heater so the clearances from
combustible surfaces shown in Table 1 and Figure 8
are met.
Locate the heater on a waterproof oor with a
oor drain and a 6 inch (152 mm) minimum curb on
all four sides to protect the building if heater repairs
are needed.

pliances within the enclosure.
Room Installation
(acceptable)
A room is any enclosure which is
at least 16* times greater than the
total volume of all the gas red ap-
pliances within the enclosure
Alcove Installation
(acceptable)
An alcove suitable for the installa-
tion of a heater is a restricted sec-
tion of a room not separated from
the room by a door or partition and

2.3.2 Outdoor Installation
Caution
Outdoor installations are not recommended in areas
where the danger of snow blockage exists. Copper
Brute heaters can be installed in the standard low-
prole, grate top conguration as received from the
factory, or with an optional vent cap.
Locate the heater in an open, unroofed area.
Do not locate the heater below or adjacent to any
doors, windows, louvers, grills, etc., which connect
in any way with an inhabited area of a building, even
though the access might be through another structure
such as a garage or utility room (see Figure 9 and
Table 1). There must be a minimum of 4 feet (1.22
m) horizontally and vertically between the heater and
any door, window, or gravity inlet to a building (see
Figure 10).
If the heater is installed close to a structure,
protect it from rain water runoff with rain gutters on
the roof or other measures. Do not locate the heater
near sprinkler systems that could spray water on it.
Avoid locations where wind deection off nearby
structures might cause wind loading and downdraft
conditions. Where downdraft conditions exist, locate
the heater at least 3 feet (0.91 m) from the structure.

2.3.3 Flooring - Typical Installation
Do not install the heater directly on carpeting
without placing a non-combustible platform between
the carpeting and the heater. If the heater is installed in
a carpeted alcove, the entire oor of the alcove must
be covered by a non-combustible panel. The panel
must be strong enough to carry the total weight of the
heater and all piping, pumps, and any other equipment
attached to the heater. For rooftop installation, see
Figure 11 through Figure 13.
2.4 Combustion and Ventilation
Air Supply
All indoor installations must have openings to
outside air for combustion, ventilation and dilution of
ue gases from inside the building (see Figure 14 and
Table 2 ). Bradford White does not recommend indoor
installations that do not provide combustion air from
outside the building.

directly, or by ducts, with the outdoors or spaces that
freely communicate with the outdoors. When directly
communicating with the outdoors directly, or through
vertical ducts, each opening shall have a minimum
free area of 1 square inch per 4000 Btu/hr (550 square
mm/kW) of total input rating of all equipment in the
enclosure. When communicating to the outdoors
through horizontal ducts, each opening shall have a
minimum free area of not less than 1 square inch per
2000 Btu/hr (1100 square mm/kW) of total input rating
of all equipment in the enclosure.
Method 2:
One permanent opening, commencing within
12" (30 cm) of the top of the enclosure shall be
permitted. The opening shall directly communicate
with the outdoors or shall communicate through a
vertical or horizontal duct to the outdoors or spaces
that directly communicate with the outdoors, and shall
have a minimum free area of 1 square inch per 3000
Btu/hr (734 square mm/kW) of the total input rating of
all equipment located in the enclosure. This opening
must not be less than the sum of the areas of all vent
connectors in the conned space.
Other methods of introducing combustion and
ventilation air are acceptable, providing they conform
to the requirements in ANSI Z223.1, or applicable
codes.
In Canada, Table 2 does not apply. Consult
local building and safety codes or, in absence of such
requirements, follow CAN/CGA B149.
NOTE: Check with louver manufacturers for net
free area of louvers. If screens or louvers are installed,
add 50 percent for each screen/louver to the net free
area Check all local codes applicable to combustion
air.
2.4.1 Outdoor Air Supply
When combustion air comes directly through an
outside wall, each opening must have a minimum free
area of at least one square inch for each 4,000 BTU/h
input of the total input rating of all appliances in the
enclosed area. (In Canada, refer to CGAB149.1 and .2.)
2.4.2 Indoor Air Supply
Conned and non-conned areas have different
requirements for installation. Consult the latest edition
of the National Gas Code for installation requirements.
2.4.3 Exhaust Fans or Vents
Any equipment which uses air or removes air
from the heater room can use up the combustion air
supply or reverse the natural draft action of the venting
system. This could cause ue products to build up in
the heater room. More air must be supplied to make up
for the decrease.

2.5 Venting of Combustion Products
2.5.1 General Information
When installed indoors, the drafthood must be
connected to a venting system. The venting system
must be installed by a qualied installer and in
accordance with the latest edition of ANSI Z223.1. In
Canada, the installation must be in accordance with
CAN1-B149.1 or .2, and any local codes that apply.
The vent pipe must have a listed vent cap, and
extend at least 2 feet (0.6 m) above any object within a
10 foot (3.0 m) radius.
NOTE: Do not use sheet metal screws at the
snap lock joints of Type B double-wall gas vents.
Do not weld or bolt the vent pipe to the heater
drafthood. The weight of the stack must not rest on the
heater. The drafthood and heater top must be easily
removable for normal heater service and inspection.
WARNING
Avoid ending heater vents near air conditioning or
air supply fans. The fans can pick up exhaust ue
products from the heater and return them inside the
building, creating a possible health hazard.
Avoid horizontal runs of the vent pipe and 90
degree elbows, reductions, and restrictions. Horizontal
runs should have at least a 1/4 inch (6.3 mm) rise per
foot in the direction of ow. Support a vent connector
for the design and weight of the material used to
maintain clearances and physical damage and separate
of joints.
Always use double-wall or insulated vent pipe
(Type B or equivalent).
WARNING
In cold weather, uninsulated outside vents can
chill the rising ue products, blocking the natural
draft action of the venting system. This can create
a health hazard by spilling ue products into the
heater room.
Avoid oversize vent piping or extremely long
runs of the pipe which may cause too much cooling
and condensation of ue gasses.
When the installation of a power vent or draft
fan in the venting system is necessary, qualied
personnel should design the installation following
good engineering practices and all applicable codes.
A suitable draft switch must be wired into the heater
control circuit at the terminal designated Field
Interlock to keep the heater from ring unless there is
a positive draft.
2.5.2 Replacement of Existing Heater
When a heater is removed from a common
venting system, the venting system may be too large
for proper venting of the other appliances connected
to it.
If replacing an existing heater with a Copper
Brute heater and the existing heater was connected
to a common venting system, the common venting
system must comply with ANSI Z223.1/National Fire
Protection Association (NFPA) 54. When resizing any
portion of the common venting system, the common
venting system should be resized to approach the
minimum size as determined using the tables in
ANSI Z223.1/NFPA 54, Appendix G. In Canada, the
common venting system should be resized so the
installation will be in accordance with CAN/CGA
B149.1 or .2.
2.6 Water Flow
2.6.1 Reversible Water Connections
Bradford White ships the heater with the
water connections on the right side. The heater can
be installed with the water connections on either
side. It could be necessary, or helpful, to switch the
connections to the left side to improve access for
installation service. Have a professional service
technician perform this modication before installing
the heater using the following procedures:
1. Remove the front cover.
2. If there is a vent cap or drafthood installed, they
must be removed before removing the grate top
assembly. On indoor installations (sizes 175-
250), the drafthood switch must be disconnected
at the left side of the heater.
3. If the unit is in the low-prole outdoor
conguration, remove the hex-head screws
(see Figure 15) and lift the grate top assembly
straight up.
4. Remove the screws that fastens the ue collector
holddown clamps and remove the clamps (see
Figure 16).
5. Remove the ue collector assembly by lifting it
out of the chassis.
6. Remove the screws that fastens the gap closures
and put them aside.
7. Remove the three grommets.
8. Remove the drain valves and plug. There is one
hex plug on the left side, near the rear of the
jacket. The drain valves are located on the left
side and right side of the heater (see Figure 15).
9. Remove the four screws that fastens the metal
channels covering the capillary tube on the right
side of the jacket, and lay the channels aside.
