Bradford White Water Heaters

Bradford White ICON System™ and Accessory Package Kits
Bradford White’s ICON System™ gas control valve is now standard equipment on most Bradford White residential and light duty commercial products* at no additional cost. Developed in collaboration with Honeywell®, the new control valve features intelligent diagnostics that prompt the installer during start-up and provide ten different codes to assist in troubleshooting. The Bradford White ICON System® also offers microprocessor control and monitoring for more consistent and accurate water temperature levels. Additionally, the system utilizes exclusive performance software that provides enhanced first hour delivery ratings and tighter temperature differentials, an integrated Piezo igniter and pilot-on-indication for ease of start-up, millivolt power to eliminate hardwiring, and a separate immersed thermowell that eliminates the need to drain the tank when removing or replacing the gas valve. Also available are universal replacement kits that allow for direct replacement of a Bradford White ICON System™ control valve or a previous generation gas control valve on most existing Bradford White models. “The development of the Bradford White ICON™ System has taken over four years of hard work on the part of Bradford White and Honeywell. The result is a sophisticated yet simple control valve with energy and time saving features that benefit contractors, wholesalers and consumers alike,” says Bradford White’s Mike Gordon, VP Engineering. Since the introduction of the ICON System™, Bradford White also unveiled its new Bradford White ICON System™ Accessory Packages. The new accessory packages work in conjunction with the ICON System™ gas control to provide homeowners with additional benefits such as comprehensive leak protection and better, more energy efficient performance including up to 36% savings on energy usage and an increase in usable hot water by as much as 50% or more. The packages include a fully programmable 7-day, 4 period/ day LCD digital control that can be attached to the water heater or mounted remotely throughout the house, leak detection that includes an audible alarm and optional automatic cold water shut off valve, and an enhanced integrated mixing device with multiple optional water connections that is quick and easy to install.
