FEATURING:
The Atmospheric Vent FVIR Defender Safety System® Models Feature:
■ Bradford White ICON System
®
*—Intelligent gas control with proven millivolt
powered technology and built-in piezo igniter. A standard, off-the-shelf
thermopile converts heat energy from the pilot flame into electrical energy to
operate the gas valve and microprocessor. No need for external electricity.
-- Enhanced Performance—Proprietary algorithms provide enhanced First
Hour Rating and tighter temperature differential.
-- Advanced Temperature Control System—Microprocessor controls burner
operation for consistent and accurate water temperature levels up to 160°F
(71°C).
-- Intelligent Diagnostics—Exclusive multicolor LED light indicates operation
status/service required.
■ Advanced ScreenLok
®
Technology Flame Arrestor Design—Flame arrestor
is designed to prevent ignition of flammable vapor outside of the water heater.
■ Resettable Thermal Switch—Proven and reliable bimetallic switch prevents
burner and pilot operation in case of ongoing flammable vapors burning inside
of the combustion chamber or restricted air flow.
■ Maintenance-Free—No regular cleaning of air inlet openings or flame arrestor
is required under normal conditions.
■ Sight Window—Offers a view into the combustion chamber to observe the
operation of the pilot and burner.
■ Factory-Installed Hydrojet
®
Total Performance System—Sediment reducing
device that also increases first hour rating of hot water while minimizing
temperature build-up in tank.
■ Vitraglas
superior tank protection from the highly corrosive effects of hot water. This
formula (Vitraglas
®
Lining—An exclusively engineered enamel formula that provides
®
) is fused to the steel surface by firing at a temperature of over
1600°F (871°C).
■ Small Diameter Models Available—for limited space installations.
■ 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.
■ Pedestal Base.
■ Water Connections—3⁄4" (19mm) NPT factory installed true dielectric fittings.
■ Factory-Installed Heat Traps.
■ Protective Magnesium Anode Rod.
■ 3x4 “Snap Lock” Draft Diverter—Allows either 3" (76mm) or 4" (102mm) vent
connections with inputs of 40,000 BTU/Hr. or less. Over 40,000 BTU/Hr. has the
4" (102mm) “Snap Lock” Draft Diverter.
■ T&P Relief Valve—Installed.
■ Low Restrictive Brass Drain Valve—Durable tamper proof design.
■ NOx Emissions—Less than 40 ng/J.
*May vary by region
6 or 10-Year Limited Tank Warranties / 6 or 10- Year Limited Warranty on Component Parts.

Propane models feature a Titanium Stainless Steel propane burner. For Propane (LP) models change suffix “N” to “X”.
For 10 year models, change suffix from “6” to “10”.
* Based on manufacturer’s rated recovery efficiency.
• Models feature optional top T&P location and must be specified when ordering.
Note: RG230S6N and RG250L6N do not have top T&P option.
Uniform Energy Factor and First Hour Rating is based on the latest AHRI directory listings.
