Bradford White bw-re350s6 50 Gal Short Electric Water Heater

Product Description

The BRADFORD WHITE bw-re350s6 is a residential electric water heater designed for short-installation configurations in homes and light-duty residential applications. Operating on 240 volts, this unit holds 50 gallons of water and is built to deliver consistent domestic hot water supply for typical household demand. The short tank profile makes it suitable for installations where vertical clearance is limited, such as low-ceiling utility rooms, crawl spaces, or tight mechanical closets. Licensed plumbers and qualified water heater installers handle this type of unit as a standard replacement or new-construction install.

This water heater is intended for residential use and fits into standard electric water heater installations where a 50-gallon capacity short-body tank is specified. The 240-volt electric configuration means no gas line or venting is required, simplifying the installation footprint. It is commonly installed in utility rooms, garages, and basement mechanical areas where clearance height limits the use of a standard-height tank. This model is suited for single-family homes and small multi-unit residential settings with moderate daily hot water demand.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber in accordance with local plumbing codes and the manufacturer installation instructions. Shut off the electrical supply at the breaker panel and close the cold water inlet valve before beginning any work. A dedicated 240-volt circuit sized to the unit nameplate amperage is required per NEC guidelines. Do not restore power to the unit until the tank is fully filled with water to avoid dry-firing the heating elements.
