NOTICE

If the boiler takes longer to heat up from a cold start than the water availability as noted above, hot water shortage may occur.

Hot water availability is based off drawing 80% of the heated tank volume at 4 gallons per minute flow rate.

The maximum heat transfer through the coil (heat input) of the water heater at 240°F boiler water supply temperature and 210°F potable water temperature is 94,100 Btu/hr for residential models and 180,300 Btu/hr for commercial models. Potable water temperature is limited to below

210 °F and nominal water-containing capacity is below 120 gallons for all single-wall indirect models.

Accordingly, per Part HLW-101.2, Section IV of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, all Bradford White Single-wall Indirect products are exempted from
