Product Overview
Is your hot water heater is more than 10 years old? It might be time to consider a new one. The lifespan of a conventional storage hot water heater is between 10 and 15 years. After all those years of service, sediment build-up and corrosion inside the tank can take their toll. There is no better replacement than a Bradford White Hot Water Heater.
The Bradford White RG250H6N is a high input BTU hot water heater. It features 65,000 BTUs and is 60-1/8" tall from the floor to the Flue Connection and the jacket diameter is 22" wide with a 48 gallon capacity. This hot water heater has a First Hour Rating or First Hour Delivery of 106 gallons.
The Bradford White RG250H6N is a high input BTU hot water heater. It features 65,000 BTUs and is 60-1/8" tall from the floor to the Flue Connection and the jacket diameter is 22" wide with a 48 gallon capacity. This hot water heater has a First Hour Rating or First Hour Delivery of 106 gallons.
Basically, the First Hour Rating means how much hot water the hot water heater can deliver in an hour of use, starting with a fully heated tank. It does not mean that the hot water will last for one hour. As the cold water enters the tank it is heated, the faster you use your hot water, the faster your water will become tepid and then cold. However, depending on your temperature set point and your household's water use you can calculate how much hot water you need during your busiest hour. As you use the water in the tank, it is continuously being replenished and heated.
The Uniform Energy Factor (UEF) is used to determine the energy efficiency of the hot water heater. Recover efficiency, stand-by loss and cycling loss are all included in the energy factor. Typically, the higher the energy factor, the more efficient the water heater. Cost of fuel however, will have an impact on annual operating costs.
A high Input hot water heater such as the RG250H6N would be ideal for a busy household that has several people with the need of more than 1 shower or bath at a time. An example of a 111 gallon peak demand might look like this:
- 5 showers (10 x 5 = 50 gallons)
- 2 baths (15 x 2 = 30 gallons
- 1 shaves (2 x 1 = 2 gallons)
- 1 meal prep (4 x 1 = 4 gallons)
- 3 hand dishwashing (4 x 3 = 12 gallons)
- 1 dishwasher run (6 x 1 = 6 gallons)
- 1 load of laundry (7 x 1 = 7 gallons)
This household would probably want a hot water heater with a first hour rating of between 109 and 113 gallons.
Another important feature when choosing a hot water heater is the Recovery Rise. A 90° recovery rise for this tank is about 43 gallons per hour. All Bradford White hot water heaters are NAECA Compliant.
