This Bradford White 40 gallon natural gas water heater delivers 38,000 BTU per hour input with a First Hour Rating of 62 gallons and a 0.60 Uniform Energy Factor, giving a steady supply of hot water for mid to larger households. Its closed combustion direct vent design draws combustion air directly from outside through a sealed intake and vents exhaust outside through a dedicated vent pipe, fully closing off the combustion process from the surrounding living space for safer, more efficient operation. The Defender Safety System (FVIR) uses a ScreenLok flame arrestor, a resettable thermal switch, and a sight window for maintenance free, flammable vapor ignition resistant operation, while the Bradford White ICON System electronic gas control runs without external electricity and holds a tighter temperature differential and consistent hot water temperatures up to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
The tank is protected by a Vitraglas lining reinforced with Microban antimicrobial protection and a factory installed magnesium anode rod, and the Hydrojet Total Performance System reduces sediment buildup to help maintain hot water delivery over time. A durable, tamper resistant brass drain valve and pedestal base support long lasting, low restrictive service. This model uses a 3/4 inch water connection. Professional delivery and installation available through AKK.
