The Direct 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
Delivery ratings and tighter temperature differentials.
-- Advanced Temperature Control System—Microprocessor constantly
monitors and controls burner operation to maintain consistent and accurate
water temperature levels.
-- Intelligent Diagnostics—An exclusive green LED light prompts the installer
during start-up and provides ten different diagnostic codes to assist in
troubleshooting.
-- Pilot On Indication—Flashing green LED provides positive indication that pilot
is on.
-- Separate Immersed Thermowell—High strength advanced polymer
composite thermowell provides isolation between electric temperature sensor
and surrounding water. No need to drain the tank when removing gas valve.
■Closed Combustion—All air for combustion is taken directly from the outside.
The co-axial vent pipe (pipe inside a pipe) draws combustion air in through the
outer pipe (5"), and exhausts the products of combustion through the inner pipe
(3"). The vent pipe at the top of the unit can be rotated for venting flexibility.
■Reinforced Seals—Seals surround the closed combustion chamber and the FVIR
inner door, preventing the ignition of flammable vapors outside of the water heater.
■Maintenance Free—The vent piping and the closed combustion chamber with
reinforced seals do not require regular cleaning under normal operating conditions.
■Sight Window—Offers a view into the combustion chamber to observe the
operation of the pilot and burner.
■FactoryInstalled 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 tanks arelined with a exclusively engineered
enamel formula that provides superior 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 1600ºF.
■Cast Aluminum Air Intake Boot—Acast molded air intake boot provides
exceptional installation durability.
■Telescoping Solid Vent Kits—Multiple kits (see reverse side) allow up to 8ft.
vertical and 8ft. horizontal vent lengths (horizontal termination only).
■Flexible Vent Kit—The maximum vent length (horizontal and vertical) can be
flexed to 100" (horizontal termination only).
■1" Non-CFC Foam Insulation—Surrounds the tank surface, saving energy by
reducing the amount of heat loss.
■Pedestal Base.
■Water Connections—3/4" NPT factoryinstalled true dielectric fittings.
■Factory Installed Heat Traps.
■Protective Magnesium Anode Rod.
■T&P Relief Valve—Included.
■Low Restriction Brass Drain Valve—Durable tamper proof design.
