Bradford White’s Copper Brute II heaters are 

covered by a limited warranty. The owner should 

fill out the warranty registration card and return it to 

Bradford White.

All warranty claims must be made to an 

authorized Bradford White representative or directly 

to the factory. Claims must include the serial number 

and model (this information can be found on the rating 

plate), installation date, and name of the installer. 

Shipping costs are not included in the warranty 

coverage.

Some accessory items are shipped in separate 

packages. Verify receipt of all packages listed on 

the packing slip. Inspect everything for damage 

immediately upon delivery, and advise the carrier of 

any shortages or damage. Any such claims should be 

filed with the carrier. The carrier, not the shipper, is 

responsible for shortages and damage to the shipment 

whether visible or concealed.

See Figure 1.

The appliance should be located to provide 

clearances on all sides for maintenance and inspection. 

It should not be located in an area where leakage of 

any connections will result in damage to the area 

adjacent to the appliance or to lower floors of the 

structure.

When such a location is not available, it is 

recommended that a suitable drain pan, adequately 

drained, be installed under the appliance. 

The appliance is design certified by CSA-

International for installation on combustible flooring; 

in basements; in closets, utility rooms or alcoves. 

installed on carpeting. The location for the appliance 

should be chosen with regard to the vent pipe lengths 

and external plumbing. The unit shall be installed such 

that the gas ignition system components are protected 

from water (dripping, spraying, rain, etc.) during 

operation and service (circulator replacement, control 

replacement, etc.). When vented vertically, the heater 

must be located as close as practical to a chimney or 

outside wall. If the vent terminal and/or combustion 

air terminal terminate through a wall, and there is 

potential for snow accumulation in the local area, both 

terminals should be installed at an appropriate level 

above grade.

The dimensions and requirements that are shown 

in Table 2 should be met when choosing the locations 

for the heater.
