Bradford White bw-re340t6 Electric Water Heater 40 Gal Tall

Product Description

The BRADFORD WHITE bw-re340t6 is a tall-format residential electric water heater with a 40-gallon tank and 240-volt operation. Designed for whole-home domestic hot water supply, this unit mounts vertically and connects to a standard 240-volt dedicated circuit. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this heater in utility rooms, basements, and mechanical closets as a direct replacement or new-construction install. The tall configuration suits applications where floor space is limited but vertical clearance is available. Input data indicates self-cleaning functionality is not included on this model.

This water heater is suited for residential applications requiring a mid-capacity storage tank. At 40 gallons, it serves households with moderate to high daily hot water demand. The 240-volt electric design eliminates the need for gas supply lines or venting, making it a practical choice for all-electric homes, apartments, and retrofit installations where gas service is unavailable or impractical. Installation follows standard residential electric water heater procedures under applicable plumbing and electrical codes.

Key Features

• 40-gallon tall tank configuration for vertical installation in space-constrained mechanical areas
• 240-volt electric operation — no gas line or venting required

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician in accordance with local plumbing codes and NEC requirements for dedicated 240-volt appliance circuits. Shut off the cold water supply and disconnect electrical power at the breaker before beginning any work. Pressure-temperature relief valve installation and discharge line routing must comply with applicable code. Do not energize the heating elements before the tank is fully filled with water.
