Bradford White Direct Vent Residential Gas Water Heater
Features
- Bradford White ICON System®: Intelligent gas control with no need for external electricity. Proprietary algorithms provide tighter temperature differential and consistent water temperature levels up to 160°F (70°C). LED light indicates operation status/service required.
- Vitraglas® Lining with Microban®: Exclusively engineered enamel formula providing superior tank protection from corrosive effects of water, with Microban® antimicrobial product protection to help prevent the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew on the tank lining surface.
- Hydrojet® Total Performance System: Sediment reducing device that also increases first hour rating of hot water while minimizing temperature build-up in tank.
Additional Details
- Closed Combustion: Co-axial vent pipe (pipe inside a pipe) draws combustion air through the outer pipe and exhausts combustion products through the inner pipe. The co-axial vent pipe can be rotated for venting flexibility.
- Cast Aluminum Air Intake Boot: Provides exceptional installation durability.
- Telescoping Solid Vent Kits: Allow up to 8ft. vertical and 8ft. horizontal vent lengths.
- Flexible Vent Kit: Maximum vent length can be flexed to 100" (2540mm).
- Insulation System: Non-CFC foam covers the tank, reducing heat loss, energy consumption, and improves efficiency and jacket rigidity.
- Pedestal Base: Rugged and durable base allows easy transport and positioning while providing corrosion-resistant contact with floor.
- Water Connections: 3/4" (19mm) NPT factory-installed true dielectric fittings.
- Factory-Installed Heat Traps.
- Protective Anode Rod: Provides added protection against corrosion for long-term, trouble-free service.
- T&P Relief Valve: Installed.
- Low Restrictive Brass Drain Valve: Durable tamper proof design.
- NOx Emissions: Less than 40 ng/J.
