Product Overview
The Bradford White RG2DV50S6N is a 50 gallon direct vent hot water heater. It uses a co-axial vent pipe with an inner dimension of 3" and an outer dimension of 5". The pipe inside a pipe configuration allows for air intake through one pipe (the outer pipe) and exhaust/combustion directly back outside though the other (the inner pipe). The hot water heater comes with a flexible vent kit.

The Bradford White Defender Safety System is designed to be the safest, most reliable flammable vapor ignition resistant system in the industry meeting all the requirements set forth by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The Defender Safety System features ScreenLok Technology flame arrestor. The louvered flame arrestor design increases the speed of incoming combustion air and creates a vector effect inside the combustion chamber when flammable vapors are ignited, preventing flames from traveling back through the flame arrestor and outside the water heater. Other features include Resettable thermal switch, virtually maintenance free.
