Product Description

The BRADFORD WHITE BWLE340S3-3NCWW is a light-duty commercial upright electric water heater with a 40-gallon storage capacity. Sold under the ElectriFLEX LD product line, this unit is designed for commercial installations where consistent hot water delivery and a compact upright footprint are required. It operates on electric resistance heating and is intended for professional installation by licensed plumbers or mechanical contractors. The upright configuration suits standard utility rooms, mechanical closets, and light commercial service areas where space and consistent demand are balanced against a moderate storage volume.

This water heater is suited for light commercial applications such as small offices, retail service areas, restaurants with moderate hot water demand, and similar commercial occupancies. The ElectriFLEX LD designation indicates a light-duty commercial classification, positioning this unit between residential and heavy commercial grades. It is an upright tank-style unit, making it compatible with conventional vertical water heater installations in commercial mechanical rooms.
