Check the type of gas and the gas inlet pressure before connecting the EverHot® water heater to the gas supply. If the gas supply type does not match the type shown on the water heater rating plate, then DO NOT connect the water heater. Contact your Bradford White supplier for the correct water heater.

GAS METER SIZE – NATURAL GAS ONLY

Be sure that the gas meter has sufficient capacity to supply the full rated gas input of the water heater, as well as the requirements of all other gas fired equipment supplied by the meter. If the gas meter is too small, ask the gas company to install a larger meter having adequate capacity.

GAS PRESSURE REGULATION

Minimum and maximum gas supply pressures are listed below: The minimum gas pressure specified below is required for the full input rating specified on the water heater rating plate.

Natural Gas: Minimum: 5.0 in. w.c.

L.P. Gas:

Minimum: 8.0 in. w.c.

Maximum: 10.5 in. w.c.

 

Maximum: 13.5 in. w.c.

Before placing the WATER heater in operation, check for gas leakage. Use soap and water solution or other material acceptable for the purpose of locating gas leaks.

WARNING

DO NOT use matches, candles, flame, or other sources of ignition for this purpose.

Note: After determining the length of pipe required, select the pipe size that will supply the CFH (cubic feet per hour) of gas required for the input rating of the gas appliances on the line. To determine the CFH required for the gas appliances on the line, use the formula, shown below. The heating value of the gas used may be obtained from a local gas utility.

CFH = Gas Input of Appliance(s) on the Line (Btu/hr)

Heating Value of Gas (Btu/Cu. ft)

TGHE-160E-N(X), TGHE-199E-N(X) specifications

Bradford-White Corporation is renowned for its commitment to quality and innovation in the water heating industry. Among its extensive range of products, the TGHE-199E-N(X) and TGHE-160E-N(X) models stand out for their advanced technology and reliable performance, making them a preferred choice for both residential and commercial applications.

The TGHE-199E-N(X) and TGHE-160E-N(X) are high-efficiency, gas-fired water heaters designed to meet the rising demand for sustainable energy solutions without compromising on performance. Both models feature a powerful, energy-efficient design that significantly reduces energy consumption while providing a consistent supply of hot water.

One of the main features of these models is their use of advanced technology in water heating. The units are equipped with a high-efficiency burner and an optimized heat exchanger that maximizes the transfer of energy, ensuring rapid heating and minimal standby loss. This efficiency is further enhanced by their ability to modulate gas flow, allowing the heater to adjust its operation based on actual demand, rather than running at full capacity at all times.

Safety is a priority in the design of the TGHE-199E-N(X) and TGHE-160E-N(X). Both models are equipped with an electronic ignition system, which eliminates the need for a continuous pilot light, reducing gas consumption and enhancing safety. Furthermore, they include advanced venting options, such as concentric or PVC venting, providing installation flexibility while adhering to stringent building codes.

Moreover, these water heaters are built to last, featuring a durable tank design with a powder-coated, steel construction and a patented Vitraglas® lining. This lining protects against corrosion and extends the life of the tank, ensuring long-term performance and reliability.

Installation and maintenance of the TGHE-199E-N(X) and TGHE-160E-N(X) are straightforward, thanks to their user-friendly design. They come with easily accessible components, making service and repairs less time-consuming and more cost-effective.

In summary, the Bradford-White TGHE-199E-N(X) and TGHE-160E-N(X) gas-fired water heaters exemplify the best in modern water heating technology. Their energy efficiency, safety features, and durable construction make them a top choice for those seeking dependable hot water solutions in residential and commercial settings.
