Residential Atmospheric Vent
High EF Gas Water Heater
The High EF FVIR Defender Safety System
®
Models Feature:
■ ENERGY STAR
®
Qualified—These .70 Energy Factor models meet and exceed the
September 1st , 2010 minimum of ENERGY STAR
®
EF requirement of .67 and qualify for
most utility rebate programs.
■ High Efficiency Blower—Pulls air through a tightly restricted baffle system resulting
in increased water heater efficiency ratings.
-- Ten Foot Power Cord—Included (120 VAC).
■ Bradford White ICON System
™
—Intelligent gas control with spark to pilot ignition
system eliminates the constant burning pilot. This results in savings of pilot gas during
stand by periods (120 VAC).
-- 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 14 different diagnostic codes to assist in troubleshooting.
-- Separate Immersed Thermowell—High strength advanced polymer composite
thermowell provides isolation between electric temperature sensor and surrounding
water.
■ Compatible With Optional Accessory Packages—Performance Package, Protection
Package and Inlet Shut-Off Valve Packages.
■ Advanced ScreenLok
®
Technology Flame Arrestor Design—Flame arrestor is
designed to prevent ignition of flammable vapors outside of the water heater.
■ Flammable Vapor Sensor—Electronic sensor prevents burner operation if flammable
vapors are detected.
■ 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 (871ºC).
■ 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—Design incorporates a flexible disk that reduces heat
loss in piping and eliminates the potential for noise generation.
■ Protective Magnesium Anode Rod.
■ 3x4 “Snap Lock” Draft Diverter—Allows either 3" or 4" vent connections.
■ T&P Relief Valve—Included.
■ Low Restriction Brass Drain Valve—Durable tamper proof design.
