Bradford White Lowboy Electric Residential Water Heater
Features
Bradford White is an ISO 9001-2015 registered manufacturing facility.
- Certified to UL-174 and IEC 60335-2-21.
- Applications: Lowboy models are ideal for installations where space is at a premium and are perfect for tight installations such as a closet or under counter.
- Fully Automatic Thermostat Controls: Fast acting surface-mount thermostat with high limit energy cut-off (manual reset) for safety.
- Direct Heat Transfer With Immersed Elements: Transfers heat directly and efficiently to the water. Screw-in style.
- Hydrojet® Total Performance System: Sediment reducing device that also increases first hour delivery of hot water while minimizing temperature build-up in tank.
- Vitraglas® Tank Lining with Antimicrobial Technology: An exclusively engineered enamel formula that provides superior tank protection from the highly corrosive effects of hot water. This formula (Vitraglas®) is fused to the steel surface by firing at a temperature up to 1600°F (871°C).
- Insulation System: Non-CFC foam insulation covers the sides and top of the tank, reducing heat loss. This results in less energy consumption, improved efficiencies, and jacket rigidity.
- RE1 models: 1" (25 mm) of insulation.
- RE2 models: 2" (51 mm) of insulation.
- Water Connections: 3/4" (19mm) NPT factory-installed true dielectric fittings extend water heater life and simplify water line connections.
- Protective Anode Rod: Provides added protection against corrosion for long-term, trouble-free service.
- Simultaneous and Non-Simultaneous Operation Available: Simultaneous operation indicates when both elements are being heated at the same time. Non-Simultaneous operation indicates when one element is being heated at a time.
- Voltages Available: 120V, 208V, 240V, 277V, 380V, 415V, 480V.
- UL174 approved options only available in 120V, 277V, 480V.
- IEC 60335 is not available in 120V, 277V, 480V.
- Single Phase or Three Phase Operation Available: 120V & 277V may only be wired for single phase operation.
- T&P Relief Valve Included: Side T&P is standard. Optional top T&P location is available.
- Low Restriction Brass Drain Valve: Durable tamper proof design.
- Suitable for residential and light duty commercial applications.
