Features
- Bradford White® ICON System™: Intelligent gas control with proven millivolt powered technology and built-in piezo igniter off the shelf thermopile converts heat energy from the pilot flame into electrical energy to operate the gas valve and microprocessor, no need for external electricity
- 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
- 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: All air for combustion is taken directly from the outside, the co-axial vent pipe (pipe inside a pipe) draws combustion air in through the outer pipe, and exhausts the products of combustion through the inner pipe, the co-axial vent pipe at the top of the unit can be rotated for venting flexibility
- Reinforced seals: Seals surround the closed combustion chamber and the FVIR inner door, preventing the ignition of flammable vapors outside of the water heater
- Maintenance free: The vent piping and the closed combustion chamber with reinforced seals does not require regular cleaning under normal operating 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: Sediment reducing device that also increases first hour rating of hot water while minimizing temperature build-up in tank
- Vitraglas® lining
- Cast aluminum air intake boot: A cast molded air intake boot design provides exceptional durability during installation and operation
- Telescoping solid vent kits: Multiple kits allow up to 8 ft vertical and 8 ft horizontal vent lengths: Multiple kits allow up to 8 ft vertical and 8 ft horizontal vent lengths
- Flexible vent kit: The maximum vent length (horizontal and vertical) can be flexed to 100 in (horizontal termination only)
- Insulation system: 2 in Non-CFC foam insulation covers surrounds the tank surface, saving energy by reducing the amount of heat loss
- Pedestal base
- Water connections: 3/4 in NPT factory installed true dielectric fittings
- Factory installed heat traps
- Protective magnesium anode rod
