INSTALLATION GUIDE AND OWNER’S MANUAL
KwickShot® Tankless Electric Water Heaters
Read and understand the instructions thoroughly before attempting the installation or service of the water heater. Failure
to follow the instructions can result in serious injury, death and/or property damage. The warranty of the water heater will
depend upon proper installation according to the instructions. Some heaters come supplied with separate faucet aerators.
If supplied, the aerator must be installed in the faucet for optimum performance. The heater must only be used to heat
water and must be installed in a location where it is not subject to freezing temperatures. The manufacturer is not liable for
any damages resulting from improper installation or misuse.
The installation must conform to the latest requirements of the National Electrical Code and all applicable state and local
codes. This information is available through local authorities. You must fully understand the requirements before
beginning this installation.
This water heater is not required by UL 499 to employ a temperature and pressure relief valve (T&P). Check with local
codes to find out if one is required. If it is, the T&P valve must be installed in the outlet hot water pipe between the heater
and the isolation valve.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When using electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Supply the water heater only from a grounded system. A green terminal (or a wire connector marked “G”, “GR, “Ground”,
or “GROUNDING”) is provided for wiring the appliance. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect this terminal, or
connector, to the grounding terminal of the electric service or supply panel with a continuous copper wire. Connection
should be made in accordance with the electrical installation code.
BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY INSTALLATION, MODIFICATION OR SERVICE OF THE
HEATER, MAKE SURE THE ELECTRICAL POWER IS DISCONNECTED.

SECTION 1: GENERAL
Bradford White offers thermostatic, and flow controlled tankless electric water heaters.
KwickShot® thermostatic heaters are designed to accept cold or preheated water and heat it to temperatures suitable for
normal domestic usage up to a maximum temperature setpoint of 140°F.

Information contained in this document is subject to change without notice.
3
238-54367-00A REV 09/21
“ML” option models: Factory set to a maximum temperature setpoint of 110°F and are recommended for multi-lavatory
handwashing applications –refer to section 3 for supplied aerator details.
“CA” option models: Manufactured for Canadian market and it indicates evaluation and compliance to either Underwriters
Laboratories (UL) or Intertek (ETL) under CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 64/No. 88.
KwickShot® flow-controlled heaters are designed to take in cold water and heat it to temperatures suitable for
handwashing and other fixed-flow applications.
NOTICE: KwickShot® tankless electric water heaters are tested @ 125 deg. per Department of Energy (DOE)
10CFR Part 430, Energy Conservation Program for Consumer Products.
To obtain optimum performance and energy savings, the water heater should be located as close as possible to the point-
of-use. The unit is supplied with compression rings and nuts suitable for direct coupling to 3/8” copper or PEX™ piping.
Do not use additional screwed fittings, pipe dope or Teflon tape –doing so will void the warranty. DO NOT SOLDER
PIPES WHILE THE UNIT IS INSTALLED as serious damage to the heater will result and the warranty will be voided
SECTION 2: MOUNTING THE UNIT TO THE WALL
The heater should be mounted on the wall under the sink, as close to the point-of-use as possible. Ideal position is fittings
pointed down; however, the heater may be mounted in any orientation.
Note: an additional logo decal has been provided to ensure branding is clearly displayed in any mounting orientation.
Make sure to leave a minimum of 8 inches service
clearance at the end OPPOSITE the fittings.
THIS HEATER MUST BE INSTALLED IN A LOCATION WHERE IT IS NOT SUBJECT TO
FREEZING TEMPERATURES.

Information contained in this document is subject to change without notice.

238-54367-00A REV 09/21
Remove the cover and fasten to the wall using the mounting holes at
each corner of the back plate. Replace the cover.
SECTION 3: PLUMBING HOOK-UP
The water heater is supplied with 3/8” brass compression fittings that are compatible with either copper or plastic pipes.
Make sure these fittings are used for this installation. Contact your representative for further information.
Bradford White strongly recommends that the heater be supplied directly from the main cold-water trunk line when
possible. This helps to avoid a potential water flow interruption to the water heater which could lead to a failure of the
heating element.

For optimum performance, Bradford White recommends the use of isolation valves (full flow ball type) on the inlet and
outlet pipes and a 40 mesh Y-Strainer on the inlet of the heater.
Clean the screen periodically for best performance.
BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY INSTALLATION, MODIFICATION OR SERVICE OF THIS
HEATER, MAKE SURE THE ELECTRICAL POWER IS DISCONNECTED.
The heater’s water INLET and OUTLET are labeled. Install full flow ball
valves to the inlet and outlet pipes and run water through the inlet
pipe into a bucket to purge it of any debris. Close the inlet ball valve.
*Failure to do so may clog the inlet water screen.
Make sure the inlet filter screen is present in the inlet fitting and the inlet
and outlet pipes are correctly aligned with the heater connections to
minimize stress on the heater.
Remove the cover. Connect the pre-assembled inlet and outlet pipes to the
heater (do not overtighten compression fittings) and fully open the inlet
and outlet ball valves. Check the system for water leaks at all plumbing
connections. If a leak is present at the compression fitting, slowly tighten
compression nut until it stops –do not overtighten.

Sample installation diagrams:
Note: KwickShot® Thermostatic Models only
Open the hot water faucet and run water for a minimum of 60 seconds and until the flow is continuous and free of air pockets. Close
the faucet and install the aerator (if supplied).
Failure to install aerator will result in less-than-favorable heater performance.
**ML thermostatic models are designed to deliver a flow of 0.35 GPM to each lavatory. Please install the supplied aerators to ensure
maximum heating performance.

Power cable entry to the heater should be made through
one of the knock-out holes located on the back plate or
top/bottom ends of the unit. Use the appropriate strain
relief fitting.
The power leads are to be secured to the L1 and L2 or L
and N connectors on the terminal block or relay. The
ground lead is to be secured to the GND connector on the
block or the green ground wire with the provided wire nut.
FAILURE TO GROUND THE SYSTEM MAY RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY, DEATH AND/OR
PROPERTY DAMAGE.
Leave the breaker in the “OFF” position. Proceed to the
next section:

SECTION 5: COMMISSIONING THE HEATER
BEFORE SWITCHING THE ELECTRICAL BREAKER “ON”, VERIFY THE INLET AND OUTLET
BALL VALVES ARE FULLY OPEN AND WATER IS FLOWING THROUGH THE HOT WATER
FAUCET FOR A MINUTE OR TWO UNTIL THE FLOW IS CONTINUOUS AND FREE FROM AIR POCKETS. DO
NOT SWITCH THE BREAKER “ON” IF THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THE WATER IN THE HEATER IS FROZEN.
Verify water is flowing through the faucet.
Switch “ON” the electric power supply at the breaker.
The following steps are dependent on the water heater, please be sure to read all instructions to best commission the
appropriate model.
KwickShot® Flow Controlled Models
The LED indicator light will flash rapidly while water flows through the unit.
Maintain flow.
After 15 seconds, the LED indicator light will turn solid red and there will be an
audible click.
The heater is commissioned at this point. The faucet can be turned off and
used as needed.
Note: with no flow, the unit will flash every 4 seconds, indicating normal stand-
by mode.
KwickShot® Thermostatic Models
Keep water flowing through the faucet for the next step.
The display on the circuit board should come “ON”. With the flow running, the
heater will go through the 60 seconds startup/self-calibration procedure. The
display will count down from 60 to 0. When the display timer reaches 45, the
unit starts heating and continues counting down to 0.
After the 60 seconds in step 4, the display will show the temperature setpoint.
See The heater is commissioned at this point. Faucet can be turned off
and used as needed.
Note:the temperature display will turn off after 5 minutes of inactivity. Display
turns on when water flows through heater.
