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
Flexible Venting: Power direct vent technology allows installation in interior spaces without chimney venting.
Improved Hot Water Delivery: Hydrojet® sediment reduction increases first-hour delivery and reduces temperature layering.
Enhanced Durability: Vitraglas® enamel lining and protective anode rod resist corrosion for longer tank life.
Safety Focused: Defender Safety System® with ScreenLok flame arrestor helps prevent ignition of flammable vapors.
Energy Savings: Factory-installed heat traps minimize standby heat loss and improve efficiency.
Easy Installation: Horizontal and vertical venting with PVC, CPVC, or ABS helps adapt to a variety of installation scenarios.
