10. Inspect the inside of the copper tubes for scale
buildup. Scale can build up on the inner surface
of the heat exchanger tubes, which can restrict
water flow. If the tubes show signs of scaling,
clean the internal surface. Bradford White offers
a tube cleaning kit, part number R2000700.

motorized safety valve. This valve is powered open
at the same time as the safety valve. To remove the
valve actuator, shut off the 120V power and the gas
shutoff valve. Remove the right side, or front panel.
Disconnect the 120V wires from the actuator. Remove
the valve actuator by taking out the four screws, and
pulling the actuator out. Re-install in reverse order.
Turn on gas shutoff valve and 120V power and

The gas valve body will rarely have to be
removed. If there is a valve problem, and it has been

valve body may need to be replaced. To remove the
gas valve body, shut off 120V power and the gas
shutoff valve. Remove the right side and front panels.

7.2.19 Gas Pressure Switches
The high and low gas pressure switches are 24V
manual reset switches that act to cut power to the gas
valves if the gas pressure is too low or too high for
proper operation. The gas pressure switches used are
integrally vent limited, and do not require venting to
atmosphere. To remove a switch, remove the screw
on the plastic housing and pull the clear cover off.
Disconnect the two wires from the screw terminals.
Twist the switch off the pipe nipple. Reassemble in
reverse order. For natural gas, set the low gas pressure
switch to 3" w.c. For propane, set the low gas pressure
switch to 5" w.c. For natural and propane, set the high
gas pressure switch to 14".

8.1 Sequence of Operation
The Brute Magnum appliance is a cold start
appliance that should start only on a call for heat from
a tank aquastat, room thermostat, zone valve end
switch or other space temperature control device.

Upon a call for heat,
(a) The internal pump will start.
(b) The blower will begin a 15 second pre-
purge.

Following the prepurge cycle the hot surface

for ignition. The unit is allowed three attempts
for ignition.

modulate based on the heating load via the

5.
The mixing system control will sense the water
temperature entering the copper heat exchanger,
and will change the positions of the mixing
valves to divert enough hot water from the
copper heat exchanger outlet back to its inlet
to keep the inlet at a minimum 140°F (60°C).
Therefore, when the return water temperature is
140°F (60°C) or lower, the outlet temperature
will be 160-165°F (71-74°C). With return
temperatures greater than 140°F (60°C), the
temperature rise across the Brute Magnum is 20-
25°F (11-14°C), when the Brute Magnum is at
high firing rate.
