Bradford White RG240T6N 40 Gallon Tall Atmospheric Vent Water Heater Natural Gas

The Bradford White RG240T6N is a 40-gallon, tall water heater. It stands at a height of 60-1/8" from the floor to the Exhaust Connection, and its jacket diameter measures 20" wide. This model has an input rating of 40,000 BTUs, resulting in a First Hour Rating, or First Hour Delivery, of 75 gallons.

To clarify, the First Hour Rating indicates how much hot water the 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 full hour. As you consume hot water, the cold water entering the tank gets heated, so the faster you use the hot water, the sooner it may start to cool. However, depending on your temperature settings and your household's water usage patterns, you can estimate how much hot water you need during your busiest hour. The tank continuously replenishes and heats the water as you use it.

The Uniform Energy Factor (UEF) is a measure of the water heater's energy efficiency. It takes into account factors such as recovery efficiency, stand-by loss, and cycling loss. Generally, a higher UEF indicates a more efficient water heater. However, keep in mind that annual operating costs can be influenced by the cost of fuel.
