Bradford White 203-B User manual

Residential Lowboy
Energy Saver Electric Water Heater
The Lowboy Electric Models Feature:
■DOE—All residential storage models meet or exceed efficiency
requirements of the Department of Energy, ASHRAE Standard 90.1 b
(current standard) and the National Appliance Energy Conservation Act of
1987 recent amendment effective January 20, 2004 which supercedes all
state and local efficiency requirements.
■Applications—Standing at a height of less than 34", Lowboy models are ideal
for installations where space is at a premium and are perfect for tight
installations such as a closet or under a counter.
■Fully Automatic Controls—Fast acting surface-mount thermostats for
automatic temperature control. Factory installed sensitive manual reset energy
cut-off for safety to prevent overheating.
■Direct Heat Transfer With Immersed Elements—Transfers heat directly
and efficiently to the water. Screw-in style.
■Factory Installed Hydrojet®Total Performance System—Cold water inlet
sediment reducing device helps prevent sediment build up in tank. Increases
first hour delivery of hot water while minimizing temperature build up in tank.
■Vitraglas®Lining—BradfordWhite water heater tanks areprotected from the
corrosive effects of hot water by an exclusive ceramic porcelain-like coating.
The Bradford White high silica Vitraglas®lining provides a tough interior surface
for our hot water tanks.
■2" Non-CFC Foam Insulation—Covers the sides and top of tank to save
energy by retarding loss of heat. Also increases jacket rigidity (M-1 models
have 1").
■Water Connections—3⁄4" NPT factory installed true dielectric fittings extend
water heater life and eases installation.
■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 trouble-free service.
■Steel Tank—Heavy gauge steel automatically formed, rolled and welded.
■Simultaneous and Non-Simultaneous Operation Available—
Simultaneous operation indicates when both elements (if equipped) are being
heated at the same time. Non-Simultaneous operation indicates when one
element is being heated at a time.
■Voltages Available—120V,208V,240V,277V, 480V.
■Single Phase or Three Phase Operation Available—277V may only be
wired for single phase operation.
■T&P Relief Valve Included—Side T&P is standard. Optional top T&P
location is available.
■Brass Drain Valve.
