50 Gallon - 40,000 BTU Defender Safety System High Efficiency Residential Atmospheric Water Heater (Natural Gas)

Note: This product comes with a White Rodgers Mechanical Control, not the Intelligent ICON System.

Bradford White's high efficiency, energy saver, atmospheric vent residential gas water heater features the Defender Safety System® and offers additional insulation and integral heat traps to reduce stand-by heat loss.

Features:

• This product has an A420 Aluminum Anode Rode
  • 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.
• 2" Non-CFC Foam Insulation - Covers the side and top, 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.
• T&P Relief Valve - Included.
• Low Restrictive Brass Drain Valve - Durable tamper proof design.
• NOx Emissions - Less than 40 ng/J.
