URG250T6N
FEATURING:
The FVIR Eco-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.
■ Defender Combustion Chamber—Incorporates the Advanced ScreenLok
®
Technology
Flame Arrestor and large split-door design to prevent ignition of flammable vapors outside the
water heater.
■ Ultra Low NOx Burner with Primary and Secondary Air Distribution Devices—Ensures
proper air to gas ratio for reduction of NOx generated by the combustion process.
■ Digital Thermal Sensor and Resettable Thermal Switch—Coordinates with self
diagnostic control to prevent water heater operation when needed.
■ 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
protection from the highly corrosive effects of hot water. This formula (Vitraglas
®
Lining—An exclusively engineered enamel formula that provides superior tank
®
) is fused to
the steel surface by firing at a temperature of over 1600°F (871°C).
■ 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.
■ Small Diameter Models Available—for limited space installations.
■ Pedestal Base—Rugged and durable base allows easy transport and positioning and
corrosion-resistant contact with floor.
■ Water Connections—3⁄4" (19mm) NPT factory-installed true dielectric fittings extend water
heater life and simplify water line connections.
■ Factory-Installed Heat Traps—Design incorporates a flexible disk that reduces heat loss in
piping and eliminates the potential for noise generation.
■ Protective Magnesium Anode Rod—Provides added protection against corrosion for long-
term, trouble-free service.
■ 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 a 4" (102mm) “Snap Lock”
Draft Diverter.
■ Flue Baffle—Maximizes the amount of heat absorbed by the tank and reduces heat loss
during standby periods.
■ Steel Tank—Heavy gauge steel automatically formed, rolled, and welded.
■ T&P Relief Valve.
■ Low Restrictive Brass Drain Valve—Durable tamper proof design.
■ Design Certified by CSA International (formerly AGA/CGA).
■ Complies with the latest Ultra Low NOx requirement (10 ng/J NOx limit).
