Atmospheric Vent Fan Assist
Residential Gas Water Heater
Features
- Defender Safety System®: Designed as the safest and most reliable flammable vapor ignition resistant system, featuring advanced ScreenLok® technology flame arrestor, flammable vapor sensor, sight window, and maintenance-free operation.
- Bradford White ICON System®: Intelligent gas control that eliminates a constant burning pilot, saving gas during standby periods (120 VAC). Proprietary algorithms ensure tighter temperature differential and consistent water temperature levels up to 160°F (70°C). An LED light indicates pilot function or operation status/service required.
- Vitraglas® Lining with Microban®: An exclusively engineered enamel formula providing superior tank protection against corrosive water effects, with Microban® antimicrobial product protection to inhibit the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew on the tank lining surface.
- Hydrojet® Total Performance System: A sediment-reducing device that increases the first hour rating of hot water delivery while minimizing temperature build-up in the tank.
Additional Details
- Insulation System: Non-CFC foam covers the tank, reducing heat loss, energy consumption, and improving efficiency and jacket rigidity.
- High Efficiency Blower: Pulls air through a tightly restricted baffle system, resulting in increased water heater efficiency ratings.
- Pedestal Base: A rugged and durable base allows for easy transport and positioning, providing corrosion-resistant contact with the floor.
- Water Connections: 3/4" (19mm) NPT factory-installed true dielectric fittings extend water heater life and simplify water line connections.
- Factory-Installed Heat Traps: Incorporates a flexible disk to reduce heat loss in piping and eliminate potential noise generation.
- Protective Anode Rod: Provides added protection against corrosion for long-term, trouble-free service.
- 3x4 "Snap Lock" Draft Diverter: Allows for 3" (76mm) or 4" (102mm) vent connections.
- T&P Relief Valve: Installed.
- Low Restrictive Brass Drain Valve: Durable, tamper-proof design.
- NOx Emissions: Less than 40 ng/J.
