Description
–
Bradford White's residential, atmospheric vent, extra recovery, energy saver, gas water heater features the Defender Safety System®. This heater utilizes a draft diverter and is atmospherically vented. Extra recovery translates into an increased amount of hot water available at a usable temperature in less time than normal.
Features:
Features:
- Bradford White ICON System - Intelligent gas control with proven millivolt powered technology and built-in piezo igniter. A standard, off the shelf thermopile converts heat energy from the pilot flame into electrical energy to operate the gas valve and microprocessor. No need for external electricity.
- Enhanced Performance - Proprietary algorithms provide enhanced First Hour Delivery ratings and tighter temperature differentials.
- Advanced Temperature Control System - Microprocessor constantly monitors and controls burner operation to maintain consistent and accurate water temperature levels.
- Intelligent Diagnostics - An exclusive green LED light prompts the installer during start-up and provides ten different diagnostic codes to assist in troubleshooting.
- Pilot On Indication - Flashing green LED provides positive indication that pilot is on.
- Separate Immersed Thermowell - High strength advanced polymer composite thermowell provides isolation between electric temperature sensor and surrounding water. No need to drain the tank when removing gas valve.
- 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.
- Side Connections - 3/4" NPT tappings allow easy connections for space heating applications (Potable water only).
- 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 (M-1-XR403S has 1").
- Pedestal Base.
- Water Connections - 3/4" NPT factory installed true dielectric fittings.
- Factory Installed Heat Traps.
- Protective Magnesium Anode Rod.
- 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.
- Brass Drain Valve - Tamper proof design.

Upgrade for my 13 year old 40 gal heater
My 13 year old Heater purchased from Supply House was starting to show its age so ordered the new Bradford White 48 gal 65000 btu unit. Had to upgrade flu from 3" to 4" so installed SS 4" chimney liner and 2 gal. thermal expansion tank. Everything worked out well. Supply House has been my go to source for all things plumbing for many years

VERY SATISFIED
Replaced a 75 gallon heater that was starting to weep. This 48 gallon heats as well, and recovers faster.

excellent water heater upgrade
Replaced a 5 year old whirlpool 35k btu / 40 gallon with this beauty. only grew 2" in diameter and 4" vertical. its a little heavy but i was able to wrangle it into my 30x30" closet.
Had to size my stack up from 3" to 4" but once everything was in place, endless hot water it seems. DO NOT use a water softener with this unit without changing the anode, its in the manual and it will cause early failure.

So far so good
Was the perfect size for my families needs. Quality and longevity remains to be seen. First and second delivered tanks had damage to the tops in almost the same place. The third tank was delivered by a different carrier and was fine. Supply House support was very helpful.

It works as advised, no longer cold water when people take a shower at about the same time.

Quick Recovery is the way to go
I purchased this hot water heater as I have a few people in the home that go into a COMA if you will when there taking a shower and never was enough hot water for everyone without waiting a couple of hours to take a shower. Well this hot water heater solved this issue. Supplyhouse.com was great to deal with and I appreciate the service, courtesy, and price.
Home Run for me thank you.

Hot Water Fast and for a Long Time
I needed a hot water heater that could deliver for two showers, washing machine and sometimes clothes washer all at the same time. But I had width and height restrictions. A lot of the 60 gallon or larger units just did not fit. This 48 gallon 65000BTU High Recovery unit does the trick in the space I had to work with.
