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 orifices, wiring or draft diverter may void
the warranty. If field conditions require a change to
any of the above, consult the factory.
All gas-fired 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
flooring.
3. Sufficient combustion and ventilation air.
4. Adequate venting of combustion products.
5. Adequate water flow.
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.
