Product Overview

Residential PDX1 Power Direct Vent
Energy Saver Gas Water Heater
The PDX1 FVIR Defender Safety System
®
Models Feature:
■ Closed Combustion Venting System—Power Direct Vent models are ideal for
installations which lack sufficient are for combustion, such as new construction
homes or additions which are tightly insulated. These models use a twin pipe
system where combustion air is drawn from outside the building in one pipe,
and combustion products are expelled to the outside in another pipe.
■ Honeywell Self Diagnostic Electronic Gas Control—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 V.A.C.).
-- 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
temperature water temperature levels.
-- Intelligent Diagnostics—An exclusive green LED light prompts the installer
during start-up and provides fifteen different diagnostic codes to assist in
troubleshooting.
-- Pilot On Indication—Flashing green LED provides positive indication that
pilot is on.
■ Compatible With Optional Accessory Packages—Performance Package,
Protection Package and Inlet Shut-Off Valve.
■ Cast Aluminum Air Intake Boot—A cast molded air intake boot design
provides exceptional durability during installation and operation.
■ Flammable Vapor Sensor—Electronic sensor prevents burner operation if
flammable vapors are detected. The sensor will also prevent burner operation if
there is an ongoing flammable vapor burn inside the combustion chamber.
■ 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)
■ Optional Concentric Vent Kit Termination—2" 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 Vertical Venting—With 2" or 3" PVC, ABS, or CPVC. The
equivalent feet of intake venting cannot be greater than the equivalent feet of
exhaust venting.
■ 1" Non-CFC Foam Insulation—Surrounds the tank surface, saving energy by
retarding loss of heat.
■ Water Connections— 3⁄4" NPT factory installed true dielectric fittings extend
water heater life and makes installation easier.
■ 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.
■ Low Restriction Brass Drain Valve—Durable tamper proof design.
