Commercial ASME Electric Water Heaters
The ASME Electric Models feature:
n A.S.M.E. Code Tank Construction—Standard.
n Immersion Thermostats—Immersion type for accurate temperature control
from up to 180°F (82°C) with manual reset high limit control.
n Factory Installed Hydrojet
inlet sediment reducing device helps prevent sediment build up in the tank.
n 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°F (871°C.
n Water Connections— Factory-installed true dielectric fittings extend water
heater life and simplify water line connections.
n Elements—screw in style. Low watt density INCOLOY
minimize dry fire and prevents lime build up.
n 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.
n Protective Magnesium Anode Rod—Provides added protection against
corrosion for long-term, trouble-free service.
n Completely Pre-wired—With pressure lug terminal block eliminating need
for splicing or taping of wires.
n Hand Hole Cleanout—(20 (76L) thru 120 (454L) gallon models only).
n T&P Relief Valve—Installed.
n Low Restriction Brass Drain Valve—Durable tamper proof design.
n NSF Construction Available on All Models.

Commercial Electric Water Heater
Optional Components
n High and Low Water Pressure Controls—The Controls interrupt the electrical current to the contactor coil when the
pressure settings are exceeded.
n Low Water Level Control—This Control will interrupt the electrical current to the contactor coil when a low water
level condition is sensed inside the water heater tank. When the low water level condition is corrected the control will
automatically sense the new situation and electrical current will again energize the contactor coil. Normal water heater
operation will be resumed.
n Alarm Horn—The Alarm Horn is an option specified when the installation desires an audible signal to immediately sound
an alert when the water heater operation is interrupted for certain faults. Referring to the control circuit wiring diagram,
the alarm will activate when any one of the following events occur:
-- The Hi-Limit control has been tripped
-- The High Water Pressure Control senses excessive pressure
-- The Low Water Pressure Control senses insufficient pressure
-- The Low Water Level Control senses an insufficient quantity of water
n Modulating Controls—Heating element sequencers are available in order to stage the activation of the heating
elements thereby, reducing the inrush current to the water heater. The sequencers will control one or two contactor coils
depending upon the water heater voltage, phase, and kW.
n Electrical Door Lock—An electrical door lock is offered in order to secure the access to the water heater control
cabinet. This device will lock the control cabinet door when the 120VAC control circuit voltage is applied to it.
n Temperature and Pressure Gauge—Displays approximate temperature of the water and approximate pressure inside
the tank.
n BMS Relays—Allows BMS to supply power to the water heater on and off and view if the elements are in operation
-- Relay 1- When energized by the BMS supply voltage, this will allow water heater operation (enable/disable)
-- Relay 2- Sends signal to BMS to show if the elements are in operation or not.
Sample Specification
The water heater shall be a Bradford White model with a rated storage capacity of not less than_______gallons (_______liters), a minimum
kW input of _______kW (_______ BTU/Hr.), a minimum recovery of _______GPH (_______ LPH). The tank shall be Vitraglas
®
lined and have a
bolted hand hole cleanout. The tank shall have _______magnesium anode rods installed in separate tank head couplings. The heater shall
have 3” Non-CFC foam insulation, and come equipped with an ASME rated T&P relief valve, a cold water inlet Hydrojet
®
Sediment Reduction
System. It shall be design certified by ETL for 180ºF (82ºC) application, either with or without a separate storage tank, and comply with
state and local codes and ordinances.
General
All electric water heaters are certified at 300 PSI test pressure (2068 kPa) and 150 PSI working pressure (1034 kPa). All models are design
certified by ETL, for up to 180°F (82°C) application as an Automatic Storage Heater, and an Automatic Circulating Tank Heater. As an
Automatic Storage Heater, all models are complete, self-contained water heating systems. It needs no separate storage tank, pump, wiring
or elaborate piping network. When equipped with a mixing valve, it will supply 180°F (82°C) sanitizing and lower temperature general purpose
hot water simultaneously. These models can be used either as a single unit or in multiples connected in series or parallel (recommended).
Dimensions and specifications subject to change without notice in accordance with our policy of continuous product improvement.
