Bradford White E32-120R-3, E32-80R-3 User Manual
Electri-Flex™MD (Medium Duty)
Commercial Electric Water Heater
The Electri-Flex™MD Electric Models Feature:
■ Fully Automatic Controls—Fast acting surface-mount thermostat for
automatic temperature control. Factory installed sensitive manual reset
energy cut-off for safety to prevent overheating. (Maximum thermostat
setting is 185°F.)
■ Direct Heat Transfer With Three Immersed Incoloy Elements—Transfers
heat directly and efficiently to the water. Screw-in style element.
■ Factory Installed Hydrojet
®
Sediment Reduction System—Cold water
inlet sediment reducing device helps prevent sediment build up in the tank.
■ Vitraglas
®
Lining—Bradford White tanks are lined with 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).
■ 2" Non-CFC Foam Insulation—Covers the side and top of tank, reducing
the amount of heat loss. This results in less energy consumption, improved
operation efficiencies and jacket rigidity.
■ Water Connections—1
1
⁄4" NPT factory installed true dielectric fittings
extend water heater life and eases installation.
■ Conversion Kits—Design certified by ETL for field conversion. Conversion
kits are available to convert any one model to a variety of voltages, kW
inputs and phase. (kit part numbers on reverse side.)
■ Protective Magnesium Anode Rod—Provides added protection against
corrosion for long trouble-free service.
■ Steel Tank—Heavy gauge steel automatically formed, rolled and welded.
■ T&P Relief Valve—Supplied.
■ Low Restriction Brass Drain Valve—Durable tamper proof design.
