Features

Features

N/A The Direct Vent FVIR Defender Safety System® Models Feature:
  • 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 (Up to 180 ºF).
    • 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.
  • Closed Combustion - All air for combustion is taken directly from the outside. The co-axial vent pipe (pipe inside a pipe) draws combustion air in through the outer pipe (6"), and exhausts the products of combustion through the inner pipe (4"). The co-axial vent pipe at the top of the unit can be rotated for venting flexibility.
  • Reinforced Seals - Seals surround the closed combustion chamber and the FVIR inner door, preventing the ignition of flammable vapors outside of the water heater.
  • Maintenance Free - The vent piping and the closed combustion chamber with reinforced seals do not require regular cleaning under normal operating 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 1600 ºF.
  • Cast Aluminum Air Intake Boot - A cast molded air intake boot provides exceptional installation durability.
  • Telescoping Solid Vent Kits - Multiple kits allow up to 8 ft. vertical and 8ft. horizontal vent lengths (Horizontal termination only).
  • Flexible Vent Kit - The maximum vent length (Horizontal and vertical) can be flexed to 100" (Horizontal termination only).
  • Side Connections - 3/4" NPT tappings allow easy connections for space heating applications (Potable water only).
  • 1" 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.
  • Protective Magnesium Anode Rod.
  • T&P Relief Valve - Installed.
  • Full Port Brass Drain Valve - Durable tamper proof design.

General Information

General Information

N/A All gas water heaters are certified at 300 psi test pressure (2068 kPa) and 150 psi working pressure (1034 kPa). All potable water connections are 3/4" NPT (19 mm) on 11" (203 mm) centers. All gas connections 1/2" (13 mm).
All models design certified by CSA® International (formerly AGA/CGA), ANSI Z-21.10.1 and peak performance rated.
Dimensions and specifications subject to change without notice in accordance with our policy of continuous product improvement. Suitable for Water (Potable) Heating and Space Heating.
Toxic chemicals, such as those used for boiler treatment, shall NEVER be introduced into this system. This unit may NEVER be connected to any existing heating system or component(s) previously used with a non-potable water heating appliance.
