This Bradford White 30 to 50 gallon Short profile residential gas water heater series delivers dependable hot water in a compact, lower height footprint for installations with limited vertical clearance. The Defender Safety System (FVIR) incorporates the advanced ScreenLok flame arrestor technology and a large split door design to help prevent ignition of flammable vapors outside the water heater, while the ICON System electronic gas control runs without external electricity for tighter temperature control and consistent hot water up to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.

The tank is protected by a Vitraglas lining reinforced with Microban antimicrobial protection, and the Hydrojet Total Performance System is a cold water inlet sediment reducing device that helps prevent sediment buildup in the tank to maintain hot water delivery over time. Available in 30, 40, and 50 gallon capacities, each with Natural Gas Atmospheric Venting. Professional delivery and installation available through AKK.
