DEFENDER SAFETY SYSTEM® DIRECT VENT ENERGY SAVER MODELS

Bradford White’s direct vent water heaters utilize a co-axial rotational venting system that takes air in from the outside (outer vent) and vents combustion gases directly back to the outside (inner vent). It is the perfect choice for situations with insufficient combustion air.
 


DEFENDER SAFETY SYSTEM® HIGH-INPUT DIRECT VENT ENERGY SAVER MODEL

Our second-generation Direct Vent water heaters offer higher inputs and gallon capacities. Our same co-axial venting will go up to eight feet vertically and horizontally.
 

DEFENDER SAFETY SYSTEM® POWER DIRECT VENT MODELS
 
Power Direct Vent models offer a flexible independent venting system. It too takes combustion air from the outside but incorporates a power-blower to expel combustion gases.
 

 


DEFENDER SAFETY SYSTEM® ENERGY SAVER ATMOSPHERIC COMBUSTION MODELS FOR MANUFACTURED HOMES
 
Designed specifically for mobile homes, this heater operates in the same manner as a conventional gas-powered water heater. The most noticeable difference is it narrow width that allows it to fit in tight spaces.
 

 

 


DIRECT VENT CLOSED COMBUSTION MODELS FOR MANUFACTURED HOMES
 
As with the energy saver atmospheric combustion model, its direct vent counterpart is also designed for mobile homes. This version takes combustion air in from outside and then vents combustion gases directly back outside.
 

EVERHOT® TANKLESS MODELS

EverHot® Tankless water heaters supply hot water continuously at a set temperature. They offer reduced energy consumption since they only operate when hot water is needed. EverHot models save space and can be installed indoors or out.
