Product Specifications

Residential Power Direct Vent
Energy Saver Gas Water Heater
The PDX2 FVIR Defender Safety System
®
Models Feature:
■ H
igh Energy Factor (EF) Ratings—
T
hese models qualify for most energy
rebate programs as well as the January 1st, 2009 minimum ENERGY STAR
®
EF requirement.
■ Cast Aluminum Air Intake Boot—A cast molded air intake boot design
provides exceptional durability during installation and operation.
■ Closed Combustion Venting System—Power Direct Vent closed
combustion system utilizes external air for combustion and exhausts directly
to the outside through a separate two-pipe system. The air intake and exhaust
vent are 3" connections. The equivalent feet of intake venting cannot be
greater than the equivalent feet of exhaust venting.
■ Flammable Vapor Sensor—Electronic sensor prevents water heater
operation if flammable vapors are detected.
■ 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 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.
■ Electronic Gas Control—The integrated, immersion gas control offers more
precise temperature control for higher first hour delivery and also allows water
temperature adjustment without removing the cover. The control is equipped
with an LED display to aid in start-up and diagnostics.
■ Spark to Pilot Ignition System—Eliminates the constant burning pilot used
on other water heaters.
■ Powerful Blower Motor—Our design has higher torque for greater resistance
to outside winds and the power to eliminate problems with difficult venting
situations. This significantly quieter motor runs cooler for a considerably
longer operational life.
■ Optional Concentric Vent Kit Termination—3" termination fitting provides
for only one exit opening through a wall or roof. (Subtract 10ft. for intake pipe
and 10ft. for exhaust pipe when calculating total vent length.)
■ Horizontal and V
er
tical Venting—
W
ith 3" or 4" PVC, ABS, or CPVC
(Maximum equivalent vent length for each pipe on reverse side).
■ Side Connections—3/4" NPT tappings allow easy connections for space
heating applications (Potable water only).
■ 2" Non-CFC Foam Insulation—Surrounds the tank surface, saving energy
by r
etar
ding loss of heat (PDX2-65T has 1" Non-CFC Insulation).
■ Water Connections— 3⁄4" NPT factory installed true dielectric fittings extend
water heater life and eases installation.
■ Factory Installed Heat Traps—Design incorporates a flexible disk that
reduces heat loss in piping and eliminates the potential for noise generation.
■ Protective Magnesium Anode Rod—Provides added protection against
corrosion for long trouble-free service.
■ T&P Relief Valve—Included.
■ Brass Drain Valve.
■ Design Certified by CSA International (formerly AGA and CGA).
