Models Feature:
■ ENERGY STAR
®
Qualified—These models qualify for the September 1st, 2010 minimum
ENERGY STAR
®
EF requirement, as well as most utility rebate programs.
■ Ultra Low NOx Burner with Primary and Secondary Air Distribution Devices—Ensures
proper air to gas ratio for reduction of NOx generated by the combustion process.
■ 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 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 water temperature levels.
-- Intelligent Diagnostics—An exclusive green LED light prompts the installer during start-up
and provides ten 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. No need to
drain the tank when removing gas valve.
■ Compatible With Optional Accessory Packages—Performance Package, Protection
Package and Inlet Shut-off Valve.
■ Defender Combustion Chamber—Incorporates the Advanced ScreenLok
®
Technology
Flame Arrestor and large split-door design to prevent ignition of flammable vapors outside
the water heater.
■ Flammable Vapor Sensor and Resettable Thermal Switch—Coordinates with control to
prevent burner operation if flammable vapors are detected. The sensor will also prevent
operation if there is ongoing flammable vapor burn inside the combustion chamber.
■ 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.
■ Powerful Blower Motor—Our significantly quiet design has greater resistance to outside
winds and the power to vent in many difficult venting situations.
■ Horizontal and Vertical Venting—With 2" or 3" PVC, ABS or CPVC (Maximum equivalent
vent length on reverse side).
■ Factory installed Hydrojet
®
Total Performance System—Cold water inlet sediment
reducing device helps prevent sediment build up in tank. This increases first hour delivery,
while minimizing temperature build up at top of tank.
■ Vitraglas
®
Lining—Bradford White tanks are lined with an exclusively engineered enamel
formula that provides superior tank 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°F
(871ºC).
■ 2" Non-CFC Foam Insulation—Covers the sides and top, reducing the amount of heat loss.
This results in less energy consumption, improved operation efficiencies and jacket rigidity.
■ 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.
■ Pedestal Base.
■ T&P Relief Valve—Included.
■ Low Restriction Brass Drain Valve—Durable tamper proof design.
■ Complies with the latest ultra-low NOx requirement (10 ng/J NOx limit).
