The Direct Vent FVIR Defender Safety System
®
Models Feature:
■ 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 (5"), and exhausts the products of combustion through
the inner pipe (3"). The 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.
■ Piezo Igniter—Easy and quick lighting of the pilot burner by push button.
■ 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.
■ No Electrical Power Necessary.
■ 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.
■ Fully Automatic Controls—Built-in energy cut-off switch prevents
abnormally high water temperature. Built-in gas pressure regulation.
■ Cast Aluminum Air Intake Boot—A cast molded air intake boot provides
exceptional installation durability.
■ Telescoping Solid Vent Kits—Multiple kits (see reverse side) allow up to 8ft.
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).
■ 1" Non-CFC Foam Insulation—Surrounds the tank surface, saving energy
by reducing the amount of heat loss.
■ Pedestal Base.
■ Water Connections—3/4" NPT factory installed true dielectric fittings.
■ Factory Installed Heat Traps.
■ Protective Magnesium Anode Rod.
■ T&P Relief Valve—Included.
■ Brass Drain Valve—Tamper proof design.
