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.
- 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
- Factory installed heat traps
- Protective magnesium anode rod
- 3 x 4 in “Snap Lock” draft diverter – Allows either 3 or 4 in vent connections with inputs of 40000 Btu/hr or less, over 40000 Btu/hr has the 4 in “Snap Lock” draft diverter
- Low restriction brass drain valve – Durable tamper proof design
- Standard/Approvals: ANSI Z21.10.1, AHRI Certified, ASHRAE 90.1b, CEC Listed, CSA LLC – Low Lead Compliant Certified, CSA International (Formerly AGA/CGA), NAECA Compliant
- INCLUDES: Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve
- WARRANTY: 6 Years Limited Tank and Component Parts
- Advanced ScreenLok® technology flame arrestor design – Flame arrestor 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 arrestor 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 – An exclusively engineered enamel formula that provides superior tank protection from the highly corrosive effects of hot water, this formula (Vitraglas®) is fused to the steel surface by firing at a temperature of over 1600 de
