WARNING

Liquefied petroleum gases/propane gas is heavier than air and will remain at floor level if there is a leak. Basements, crawl spaces, closets and areas below ground level will serve as pockets for accumulation of leaking gas. Before lighting, smell all around the appliance area for gas. Be sure to smell next to the floor.

IF YOU SMELL GAS:

•DO NOT try to light any appliance.

•DO NOT touch any electric switch; do not use any telephone in your building.

•Immediately call your gas supplier from a telephone in another building. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions.

•If you cannot reach your gas supplier, call the fire department.

DO NOT OPERATE THE APPLIANCE UNTIL THE LEAKAGE IS CORRECTED!

WARNING

Flammable items, pressurized containers or any other potential fire hazardous articles must never be placed on or adjacent to the water heater. Open containers of flammable material must not be stored or used in the same room with this water heater.

DO NOT USE AN INSULATION BLANKET WITH THIS WATER HEATER. This water heater meets or exceeds the ASHRAE/IES 90.1b (latest edition) standards with respect to insulation and standby loss requirements.

IGI-180C, IGI-180R specifications

Bradford-White Corporation is a well-known name in the water heating industry, offering a range of reliable and efficient products. Among its noteworthy offerings are the IGI-180R and IGI-180C indirect water heaters. These models exemplify the company's commitment to quality and innovation, featuring robust designs and cutting-edge technologies.

The IGI-180R and IGI-180C units are designed to provide a consistent supply of hot water for residential and commercial applications. Both models have a storage capacity of 180 gallons, making them ideal for settings that require large volumes of hot water, such as restaurants, schools, and larger households. Their large tanks ensure minimal wait times and a reliable hot water supply, even during peak usage periods.

One of the key features of the IGI series is their indirect heating capability. Instead of relying on electric elements or gas burners, these heaters use a separate boiler or heating system to provide the necessary heat. This allows for more efficient operation, as the water is heated more evenly and effectively. The models integrate seamlessly with existing boiler systems, making them an excellent choice for those looking to upgrade or expand their hot water capabilities without extensive modifications.

Both the IGI-180R and IGI-180C incorporate advanced insulation technology, minimizing heat loss and improving energy efficiency. The high-density foam insulation encases the tank, keeping the water hot for longer periods and reducing energy costs associated with reheating. This insulation also contributes to a longer lifespan for the unit, as it reduces the wear and tear on the heating systems.

Another pivotal characteristic of these units is their durable construction. Bradford-White utilizes high-quality materials and rigorous manufacturing standards, ensuring that the IGI models withstand the test of time. The tanks are constructed from heavy-duty steel with a glass lining that protects against corrosion and sediment buildup, enhancing the longevity and performance of the water heater.

Lastly, both models come equipped with a range of safety features, including an integrated Pressure Relief Valve and a temperature control system. These elements safeguard against overheating and pressure issues, ensuring safe operation.

In conclusion, the IGI-180R and IGI-180C indirect water heaters by Bradford-White Corporation stand out for their efficient, reliable, and durable design. With advanced heating technology, excellent insulation, and robust safety features, they are a smart investment for any hot water demand scenario.
