This water heater capacity is 38 gallons of water. The Department of Energy estimates the average shower uses about 10 gallons of hot water. A standard 38 gallon tank should be able to handle 3 showers in an hour with some additional left over hot water to enjoy a shave. However, with an indirect fired hot water heater, you are using your boiler to heat the water and the first hour rating is much higher with this type of system. The hot water supply is almost continual, meaning you are less likely to run out of hot water.
- Boiler output of 220,000 BTUs, boiler water temperature of 200°F and a 50°F water inlet temperature:
- First hour rating for 140°F water is 288 gallons assuming approximately 4.2 gallons/minute of continuous draw
- First hour rating for 115°F water is 438 gallons assuming approximately 6.7 gallons/minute of continuous draw
- Boiler output of 157,000 BTUs, boiler water temperature of 180°F
- First Hour Delivery: 265 gallons
- Continuous Draw Rating at 135°F: 260 gals/hr.
- Standby Heat Loss Rating (°F/HR): 1.1
- Heat Source Flow Rate: 13.7 gals/min.
Vitraglas® The World's Best Enamel Tank Lining: Bradford White water heater tanks are protected from the corrosive effects of hot water by an exclusive enamel lining. The exclusive Vitraglas enamel lining is uniquely formulated and applied to the interior of the water heater tank.
Our test results prove that Vitraglas provides unsurpassed protection against failure when compared to other water heater linings.
Like most indirect water heaters, this one offers limited lifetime tank and heat exchanger warranties because there is less wear and tear on the tank as there is no "direct fire".
