Note: This product comes with a White Rodgers Mechanical Control, not the Intelligent ICON System.
This Bradford White water heater utilizes a draft diverter and is atmospherically vented. It is perfect for many standard water heating applications.
Features:Advanced ScreenLok® Technology Flame Arrestor Design - Flame arrestor is designed to prevent ignition of flammable vapor outside of the water heater.
Resettable Thermal Switch - Proven and reliable bimetallic switch prevents burner and pilot operation in case of ongoing flammable vapor burn inside of the combustion chamber or restricted air flow.
Maintenance Free - No regular cleaning of air inlet openings or flame arrestor is required under normal conditions.
Sight Window - Offers a view into the combustion chamber to observe the operation of the pilot and burner.
Factory Installed Hydrojet® Total Performance System - Cold water inlet sediment reducing device helps prevent sediment build up in tank. Increases first hour delivery of hot water while minimizing temperature build up in tank.
Vitraglas® Lining - Bradford White tanks are lined with a exclusively engineered enamel formula that provides superior protection from the highly corrosive effects of hot water. This formula (Vitraglas®) is fused to the steel surface by firing at a temperature of over 1600ºF.
2" Non-CFC Foam Insulation - Covers the sides and top of tank, reducing the amount of heat loss. This results in less energy consumption, improved operation efficiencies and jacket rigidity.
Pedestal Base.
Water Connections -3/4" NPT factory installed true dielectric fittings.
Factory Installed Heat Traps.
3x4 "Snap Lock" Draft Diverter - Allows either 3" or 4" vent connections with inputs of 40,000 BTU/Hr or less. Over 40,000 BTU/Hr. has the 4" "Snap Lock" Draft Diverter.
T&P Relief Valve - Included.
