Spec Sheet

Light Duty Commercial Ultra Low NOx
Energy Saver Gas Water Heater
The Light Duty FVIR Eco-Defender Safety System
®
Models Feature:
■ 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.
■ 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.
■ Digital Thermal Sensor and Resettable Thermal Switch—Coordinates
with self diagnostic control to prevent water heater operation as needed.
■ Millivolt Powered Control with Built-in Piezo Igniter—Easy and quick
lighting of the pilot burner by push button.
■ Pedestal Base—Rugged and durable base allows easy transport and
positioning, while providing corrosion resistant contact with floor.
■ 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.
■ No Electricity Required.
■ 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 at temperature of over 1600ºF.
■ Self Diagnostic Honeywell Gas Control—Integrated, immersion gas control
learns and monitors the combustion chamber's temperature profile and
prevents water heater operation during upset conditions. Also equipped with
an LED display to aid in start-up and diagnostics.
■ More Precise Temperature Control—With an adjustable temperature up to
180ºF.
■ Side Connections—3/4" NPT tappings allow an easy connection for space
heating applications.
■ 2" Non-CFC Foam Insulation—Covers the sides and top of tank, 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 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.
■ “Snap Lock” Draft Diverter.
■ T&P Relief Valve—Installed.
■ Brass Drain Valve—Tamper proof.
■ Complies with the latest ultra-low NOx requirement (10 ng/J NOx limit).
■ Design Certified by CSA International (formerly AGA and CGA).
