through 13. These diagrams are meant only as a guide. Components required by local codes must be properly installed.

The minimum inlet water temperature for the Brute Deluxe is 120°F (49°C) to avoid condensing on the copper coils.

4B.2 Hot Water Supply Piping — Water Heater

Follow the tank manufacturer’s guidelines for completion of the hot water system connections.

NOTE: A listed temperature and pressure relief valve listed as complying with the Standard for Relief Valves and Automatic Gas Shutoff Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems (ANSI Z21.22 / CSA 4.4) of suitable discharge capacity must be installed in the separate storage tank system.

If the Brute Deluxe water heater is installed in a closed water supply system, such as one having a backflow preventer in the cold water supply line, the relief valve may discharge periodically, due to thermal expansion. Means (such as a properly-sized expansion tank) shall be provided to control thermal expansion. Contact the water supplier or local plumbing inspector on how to control this situation.

4B.3 Water Flow Requirements — Water Heater

In a water heating application (an open system), new water is constantly being introduced. With the new water comes a fresh supply of minerals that can be deposited on the unit’s heat exchanger. This is commonly known as scaling. The amount of minerals will depend upon the hardness of the water. Water can also be aggressive, and can erode metals, including copper, if the water is moved too quickly. The water flow requirements for the Brute Deluxe water heater are based upon the hardness of the water. The water flow is kept high enough to prevent scaling, but low enough to prevent tube erosion. For extremely soft or hard water, cupro-nickel tubes are available. Contact a Representative if you have questions or concerns about water quality.

Pump-mounted water heaters can be ordered with standard pumps for soft or normal water or with pumps for hard water. The pumps used are sized for the headloss through the heater, plus 30 feet (9.1m) of full- sized piping (same size as heater outlet) and a normal number of fittings.

Table 9 specifies water flow rates for water heaters, which will enable the user to size a pump. The headloss shown is for the heater only, and the user will need to add the headloss of the piping system to properly size the pump.

4B.4 Combined Water Heating (potable) and Space Heating — Water Heater

NOTE: These systems are not allowed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

Piping and components connected to this water heater for the space heating application shall be suitable for use with potable water.

Toxic chemicals, such as used for boiler treatment, shall not be introduced into the potable water used for space heating.

This water heater when used to supply potable water shall not be connected to any heating system or component(s) previously used with a non-potable water heating appliance.

When the system requires water for heating at temperatures higher than required for other uses, an anti-scald mixing or tempering valve shall be installed to temper the water for those uses in order to reduce scald hazard potential.

4B.5 Freeze Protection – Water Heater

Although Brute Deluxe water heaters are design- certified for outdoor installations, such installations are not recommended in areas subject to freezing temperatures, unless proper precautions are taken.

Power outage, interruption of gas supply, failure of system components, activation of safety devices, etc., may prevent a heater from firing. Any time a heater is sub- jected to freezing conditions, and the heater is not able to fire, and/or the water is not able to circulate, there is a risk of freezing in the heater or in the pipes in the system. When water freezes, it expands. This can result in bursting of pipes in the system, or damage to the heater, which could result in leaking or flooding conditions.

Contact the local factory representative or for additional information.

SECTION 5.

Electrical Connections

WARNING

The appliance must be electrically grounded in accordance with the requirements of the authority having jurisdiction or, in the absence of such requirements, with the latest edition of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70, in the U.S. and with latest edition of CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1, in Canada. Do not rely on the gas or water piping to ground the metal parts of the boiler. Plastic pipe or dielectric unions may isolate the boiler electrically. Service and maintenance personnel, who work on or around the boiler, may be standing on wet floors and could be electrocuted by an ungrounded boiler.

Single pole switches, including those of safety controls and protective devices must not be wired in a grounded line.

All electrical connections are made in the field
