Features

Features
  • High Input Combustion System - Generates enough hot water for mop sinks, wash tubs and large wash sinks in addition to standard commercial duty.
  • Integrated Mixing Device - Features an accurate, easy to use hand wheel for adjusting mixed water temperature, a pre-piped stainless steel flexible connector for quick installation as well as optional water connections (1/2" NPT recirculation inlet, 1/2" NPT hot water outlet, 1/4" NPT cold water outlet). This required system is easily installed and ensures a comfortable outlet temperature while providing a steady flow of hot water.
  • Helical Fin Flue - Designed to maximize the amount of heat transferred to water decreasing recovery time. Minimizes air movement in the heater during standby periods to retard heat loss up the flue.
  • Factory Installed Hydrojet 2™ Total Performance System - Cold water inlet sediment reducing device helps prevent sediment build up in tank.
  • Vitraglas® Lining - Bradford White water heater tanks are protected from the corrosive effects of hot water by an exclusive ceramic porcelain-like coating. The Bradford White high silica Vitraglas® lining provides a tough interior surface for our hot water tanks.
  • Fully Automatic Controls - Automatic temperature selection at your fingertips (up to 180 °F). Built-in energy cut-off switch prevents abnormally high water temperature for extra safety. Built-in gas pressure regulation.
  • 3/4" NPT Side Connections.
  • Non-CFC Foam Insulation - 1" of energy saving insulation covers the sides and top of the tank, reducing the amount of heat loss while increasing jacket rigidity.
  • Water Connections - 3/4" NPT factory installed true dielectric fittings.
  • Two Protective Magnesium Anode Rods.
  • 4" "Snap Lock" Draft Diverter.
  • T&P Relief Valve - Installed.
  • Low Restriction Brass Drain Valve - Durable tamper proof design.
