This Bradford White 48 gallon natural gas water heater delivers 50,000 BTU per hour input with a First Hour Rating of 96 gallons and a 0.64 Uniform Energy Factor, giving a high recovery supply of hot water for larger households. Its direct vent design draws combustion air from outside and vents exhaust outside through a dedicated vent pipe, closing off the combustion process from the surrounding living space for safer, more efficient operation. The Defender Safety System (FVIR) is designed for maintenance free, flammable vapor ignition resistant operation, and the unit is engineered for low NOx emissions to support regional air quality requirements.

The tank is protected by a Vitraglas lining reinforced with Microban antimicrobial protection, and a durable, tamper resistant brass drain valve supports long lasting, low restrictive service. This model uses a 3/4 inch water connection and is ANSI Z21.10.1, CSA 4.1, and NSF 372 certified. Professional delivery and installation available through AKK.
