Description
Bradford White 40 Gallon Power Direct Vent Gas Water Heater
The Bradford White 40 Gallon Power Direct Vent Gas Water Heater is a reliable and versatile residential hot water solution designed to deliver consistent, efficient hot water performance for everyday household needs. Using power direct vent technology, this unit pulls combustion air from outside and vents exhaust through horizontal or vertical venting, allowing installation in spaces where traditional atmospheric vent models won’t work. This makes it especially suitable for homes without a natural draft chimney or with limited indoor venting options.
Built with Bradford White’s trusted components—including a Defender Safety System® flame arrestor, Hydrojet® sediment reduction system, and Vitraglas® enamel lining—this water heater offers durable construction and improved long-term reliability. The powerful blower enables flexible venting using PVC, CPVC, or ABS piping, and features like factory-installed heat traps and protective anode rods help minimize standby heat loss and extend tank life.
Benefits
-
