Commercial Electric Brute Water Heaters
tandard Equipment Features:
S
Energy-Saving Performance - A heavy blanket of highdensity fiberglass insulation is used to meet the demanding
ASHRAE 90.1b current standard for minimizing heat loss.
This requirement, allowing a maximum 4 watts per square
foot of tank surface energy loss, offers big savings and
operating efficiency.
Magnetic Contactors with Immersion Thermostats - 120
volt control circuit with built in transformer. Elements are
thermostatically controlled in 54kW (max) increments.
Low Watt Density Incoloy Elements - Incoloy elements
are used by Bradford White because of their many superior
characteristics to copper-sheathed elements in rigorous
water heating applications. This tough alloy successfully
resists the effects of prolonged high operating
temperatures, hard water, acids, corrosion, and thermal
shock. Their nominally higher initial cost is more than offset
by much longer life expectancies and reduced service and
replacement labor costs. Incoloy elements are designed to
“burn in air” to prevent failures caused by water void.
Internal Fusing - All elements and circuits are fused in 48
amp increments, providing complete electrical protection.
Cartridge type fuses are rated at 200,000 ampere
interrupting capacity.
Glass-Lined Tank - Vitreous glass is applied to the inside
surface of the steel tank and fired to 1600°F. (All models are
constructed in accordance with the ASME code and
approved for 125 PSI working pressure.)
Magnesium Tank Saver - Provides anodic protection
against corrosion of the tank due to electrolysis.
UL Listed - All models are listed by Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc. as commercial electric water heaters.
This assures competent design and proper testing.
Three-Year Limited Warranty - Provides warranty
protection against tank failure resulting from defects in
material and workmanship.
Channel iron skid base.
Optional Equipment Features:
Low Water Cut Off - Prevents energizing of the heater
when not filled with water or upon low water condition.
Pilot Lights - Monitor on/off cycle for each contactor.
Manual Limiting Switches - With indicating lights –
permits manual limitation of heating input by switching off
current to each contactor.
Solid State Modulating Control (Electronic Step
Controller) -
demand. Contactors are staged automatically and
sequentially to equalize element usage. Unit reprograms to
“off” position on power failure.
Alarm Bell - Warns of various control failures.
Shunt Trip Disconnect† - Provides maximum protection by
interrupting all power to the system in the event of a control
sensed malfunction or overcurrent.
Modulates power input and balances load to
Galvanized Jacket - The heavy 16-gauge steel jacket is
galvanized on both sides and beautifully finished in durable
acrylic enamel. This combines attractive appearance with
maximum protection.
Full-Length Hinged Door with Key Lock - Quality requires
full-length hinged doors for ease of inspection and
maintenance. Keyed door lock provides additional safety
and security at no extra charge.

Terminal Block Connections - Easy and safe wiring
connections are made possible by factory installed
terminal blocks.

Heater is approved for 180°F operation for sanitizing and
other high-temperature requirements.

Safety Door Interlock - Prevents opening of access door
while heater is energized.
Temperature and Pressure Gauges - Jacket mounted for
convenient viewing.
Man Hole - Provides means to easily remove sediment
from the heater; optional on 250 gallon and larger.
Working pressure - 150 PSI ASME construction.
