Gas Water Heater

The Atmospheric Vent FVIR Defender Safety System® Models Feature:
■ Bradford White ICON System®*—Intelligent gas control with proven millivolt
powered technology and built-in piezo igniter. A standard, 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 Rating and tighter temperature differential.
— Advanced Temperature Control System—Microprocessor controls burner
operation for consistent and accurate water temperature levels up to 160°F
(71°C).
— Intelligent Diagnostics—Exclusive multicolor LED light indicates operation
status/service required.
■ Defender Safety System®— Designed to be the safest, most reliable
flammable vapor ignition resistant system in the industry with a proven track
record since 2003.
— 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.
■ Vitraglas® Lining with Microban®—An exclusively engineered enamel formula
that provides superior tank protection from the corrosive effects of water; and
with Microban® antimicrobial product protection to help prevent the growth of
bacteria, mold and mildew on the surface of the tank lining.
■ Hydrojet® Total Performance System—Sediment reducing device that also
increases first hour rating of hot water while minimizing temperature build-up in
tank.
■ 3×4 “Snap Lock” Draft Diverter—Allows either 3″ (76mm) or 4″ (102mm) vent
connections with inputs of 40,000 BTU/Hr. or less. Over 40,000 BTU/Hr. has the
4″ (102mm) “Snap Lock” Draft Diverter.
■ Water Connections—NPT factory installed dielectric waterway with heat traps.
■ Protective Anode Rod—Provides added protection against corrosion for longterm, trouble-free service.
■ Low Restrictive Brass Drain Valve—Durable tamper proof design.
■ NOx Emissions—Less than 40 ng/J.
■ Small Diameter Models Available—for limited space installations.
■ T&P Relief Valve—Installed.
