This Bradford White 48 gallon natural gas water heater delivers 65,000 BTU per hour input with a First Hour Rating of 116 gallons and a 0.68 Uniform Energy Factor, giving a steady supply of hot water for mid to larger households. 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. Power Vent operation runs on a 120 volt power cord with no chimney required, giving flexible venting options where a traditional vertical flue is not practical.

The tank is protected by a Vitraglas glass lining, and both the tank lining and outer jacket carry antimicrobial protection. A durable brass drain valve supports long lasting, reliable service, and the unit is certified for installations up to 10,100 feet altitude with no conversion kit required. Low NOx emissions meet CEC compliance requirements for sale in California, and the tank is backed by a 6 year warranty. Professional delivery and installation available through AKK.
