The Light Duty FVIR Defender Safety System® Models Feature:
■Advanced ScreenLok® Technology Flame Arrestor Design—Flame arrestor is designed to prevent ignition of flammable vapor outside of the water heater.
■Resettable Thermal Switch—Proven and reliable bimetallic switch prevents burner and pilot operation in case of ongoing flammable vapor burn inside of the combustion chamber or restricted air flow.
■Piezo Igniter—Easy and quick lighting of the pilot burner by push button.
■Pedestal Base—Rugged and durable base allows easy transport, positioning, and provides corrosion resistant contact with floor.
■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—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—Bradford White water heater tanks are protected 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 water heater tanks.
■Precise Temperature Control—Adjustable thermostat to any temperature up to 180°F. An auto-reset Energy Cut-Off (ECO) shuts off all gas in the event of an overheat condition (Not recommended for 180°F sanitizing).
■Side Connections—3/4" NPT tappings allow easy connections for space heating applications (potable water only).
■2" Non-CFC Foam Insulation—Covers the sides and top of tank, reducing the amount of heat loss. This results in less energy consumption, improved operation efficiencies and jacket rigidity.
■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.
■“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—Installed.
■Brass Drain Valve.
■Design Certified by CSA International (formerly AGA/CGA).
