EnergyStar® qualified: Some models meet or exceed requirements for EnergyStar® per the latest EnergyStar® criteria revision, as well as most utility rebate programs |
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 rating 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 |
Pilot on indication: Flashing green led provides positive indication that pilot is on |
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 |
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 |
Cast aluminum air intake boot: A cast molded air intake boot design provides exceptional durability during installation and operation |
Horizontal and vertical venting: PVC, ABS, or CPVC, the equivalent feet of intake venting cannot be greater than the equivalent feet of exhaust venting |
Flammable vapor sensor: Electronic sensor prevents burner operation if flammable vapors are detected |
Factory installed Hydrojet® total performance system: Sediment reducing device that also increases first hour rating of hot water while minimizing temperature build-up in tank |
Vitraglas® lining |
Insulation system: 2 in non-CFC foam insulation covers the sides and top of the tank, reducing heat loss, this results in less energy consumption, improved efficiencies, and jacket rigidity |
Water connections: 3/4 in NPT factory installed true dielectric fittings extend water heater life and simplify water line connections |
Side connections: 3/4 in NPT tapping's allow easy connections for space heating applications |
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: Provide added protection against corrosion for long-term, trouble free service |
Low restriction brass drain valve: Durable tamper proof design |
NOx emission: less than 40 ng/J |
