Bradford White bw-rg250l6n 50 Gal Natural Gas Water Heater

Product Description

The BRADFORD WHITE bw-rg250l6n is a residential natural gas water heater designed for short-form installations where vertical clearance is limited. Rated at 40,000 BTU/h, it delivers hot water for typical household demand from a 50-gallon tank. The short profile makes it a practical fit for utility closets, crawlspace-adjacent mechanical rooms, and low-ceiling installations. Licensed plumbers and HVAC service technicians handle installation and replacement of this type of unit. The combination of a 50-gallon capacity and 40,000 BTU/h input rate positions this heater for moderate to high daily hot water demand in residential settings.

This water heater is suited for residential applications running on natural gas. The short tank configuration is specified when standard-height units cannot fit the installation space, such as in low-clearance utility rooms or alcove installations. It operates on a conventional tank-type design with a standing pilot or electronic ignition system typical of this product class. Plumbing contractors and HVAC technicians install this unit as a new installation or a direct replacement of an existing short natural gas water heater of comparable capacity.

Key Features

• 50-gallon tank capacity for residential hot water supply
• 40,000 BTU/h natural gas input for efficient recovery

Compatibility

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified gas technician in accordance with local codes, the International Fuel Gas Code (IFGC), and the manufacturer instructions. Shut off the gas supply and cold water inlet before disconnecting the existing unit. All gas connections must be leak-tested with an approved solution after installation.
