Brute™ Elite 1000 & 1700 Volume Water Heater ModelsThe Brute™ Elite 1000 & 1700 condensing volume water heater features a dual burnerstainless steel water tube heat exchanger, and advanced burner control with 1 and 1.7 millionBTU/Hr. input, and 10:1 turndown.

The Brute™ Elite 1000 & 1700 operates at firing rates as low as 100,000 BTU/Hr., resultingin low temperature thermal efficiencies as high as 99%, and 94% at full fire. The Brute Elite1000 & 1700’s two equally sized burners can modulate independently of each other, closelymatching the heater’s firing rate to the connected load, maximizing fuel utilization. The dualburner design also provides redundancy. If for some reason one of the two burners were tofail, the other will still be available to provide heat. Information about control settings, status,diagnostics, and error history are visible in full text on the Brute Elite 1000 & 1700’s multi-linegraphic LCD display. The advanced Brute Elite 1000 & 1700 control system also includes acascading feature that allows lead/lag control for up to four heaters. An auto rotation function periodically changes the leadheater to evenly spread service in multi-boiler applications. Modbus protocol is built-in with all Brute Elite 1000 & 1700 volumewater heaters, allowing communication with Building Automation Systems. The Brute Elite 1000 & 1700 are approved for usewith PVC, CPVC, AL29-4C, and rigid polypropylene vent materials with 100-equivalent foot maximum vent and intake lengths.
