Water Heater Residential Natural Gas 40 Gallon Short 40K BTU Atmospheric Vent

Bradford White Defender System Atmospheric Vent water heaters utilize a draft diverter and are atmospherically vented with capacities ranging from 30 to 50 gallons and inputs ranging from 30000 to 50000 Btu/hr Defender Atmospheric Vent models are perfect for many standard water heating applications.

• 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 rating 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
• Advanced ScreenLok technology flame arrester design: Flame arrester is designed to prevent ignition of flammable vapor outside of the water heater
• Resettable thermal switch: Proven and reliable bimetallic switch prevents burner and pilot operation in case of ongoing flammable vapors burning inside of the combustion chamber or restricted air flow
• Maintenance free: No regular cleaning of air inlet openings or flame arrester is required under normal 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
• Insulation system: Non-CFC foam covers the sides and top of the tank, reducing heat loss, this results in less energy consumption, improved efficiencies and jacket rigidity
• Pedestal base
• Water connections: 3/4 in NPT factory installed true dielectric fittings
