Spec Sheet

Standard Equipment Features:
Energy-Saving Performance - A heavy blanket of high-
density fiberglass insulation is used to meet the demanding
ASHRAE 90.1b 1992 standard for minimizing heat loss. This
requirement, allowing a maximum 4 watts per square foot
of tank surface energy loss, offers big savings and
operating efficiency.
Magnetic Contactors with Immersion Thermostats -
120 volt control circuit with built in transformer. Elements
are thermostatically controlled in 54KW (max) increments..
Low Watt Density Incoloy Elements - Incoloy elements
are used by Bradford White because of their many superior
characteristics to copper-sheathed elements in rigorous
water heating applications. This tough alloy successfully
resists the effects of prolonged high operating
temperatures, hard water, acids, corrosion, and thermal
shock. Their nominally higher initial cost is more than offset
by much longer life expectancies and reduced service and
replacement labor costs. Incoloy elements are designed to
“burn in air” to prevent failures caused by water void.
Internal Fusing - All elements and circuits are fused in 48
amp. increments, providing complete electrical protection.
Cartridge type fuses are rated at 200,000 ampere
interrupting capacity.
Glass-Lined Tank - Vitreous glass is applied to the inside
surface of the steel tank and fired to 1600°F. (All models are
constructed in accordance with the ASME code and
approved for 125 PSI working pressure.)
Built-in Safety Drain Pan - All models feature a built-in,
sealed drain pan system...complete with a 3/4" drain
connection. This assists in protecting against water damage
from tank or component leakage. Not available on round
models.
Magnesium Tank Saver - provides anodic protection
against corrosion of the tank due to electrolysis.
Galvanized Jacket - The heavy 16-gauge steel jacket is
galvanized on both sides and beautifully finished in durable
acrylic enamel. This combines attractive appearance with
maximum protection.
Full-Length Hinged Door with Key Lock - Quality requires
full-length hinged doors for ease of inspection and
maintenance. Key Door Lock provides additional safety and
security at no extra charge.
Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve - Factory
provided ASME rated relief valve protects against excessive
temperature and/or pressure buildup within the tank.
Terminal Block Connections - Easy and safe wiring
connections are made possible by factory installed terminal
blocks.
180°F Temperature Operation - Every Electric Brute
Heater is approved for 180°F operation for sanitizing and
other high-temperature requirements.
Hand Hole Cleanout - Provides easy access to the heater
interior for inspection and cleaning.
UL Listed - All models are listed by Underwriters
Laboratories, Inc. as commercial electric water heaters.
This assures competent design and proper testing.
Three-Year Limited Warranty - Provides warranty
protection against tank failure resulting from defects in
material and workmanship.
Channel iron skid base - Available for 250 gallons and
larger.
Optional Equipment Features:
Low Water Cut Off - Prevents energizing of the heater
when not filled with water or upon low water condition.
Pilot Lights - Monitor on/off cycle for each contactor.
Manual Limiting Switches - With indicating lights –
permits manual limitation of heating input by switching off
current to each contactor.
Solid State Modulating Control (Electronic Sequencer) -
Modulates power input and balances load to demand.
Contactors are staged automatically and sequentially to
equalize element usage. Unit reprograms to off position on
power failure. (Available only for 36 KW or higher)
Alarm Bell - Warns of various control failures.
Shunt Trip Disconnect† - Provides maximum protection by
interrupting all power to the system in the event of a control
sensed malfunction or overcurrent.
Low or High Pressure Switch - Turns off control circuit
when water pressure drops below a set minimum, or above
a set maximum.
Time Clock† - To control off/on cycles of the heater as
programmed by the owner or electric utility requirements.
(7 day or 24 hour).
Safety Door Interlock - Prevents opening of access door
while heater is energized.
Temperature and Pressure Gauges - Jacket mounted for
convenient viewing.
Man Hole - Provides means to easily remove sediment
from the heater.
Working pressure - 150 PSI ASME construction.
†Separate mounting - Field Installed.
