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.
