Bradford White RE255T6-1NLZZ Electric Water Heater 55 Gal

Product Description

The BRADFORD WHITE RE255T6-1NLZZ is a 55-gallon upright tall residential electric water heater rated at 6 kW and 208 volts, single phase. It operates in a non-simultaneous heating configuration, meaning only one heating element activates at a time to manage electrical load. This unit is designed for permanent installation in residential applications where a high-capacity storage water heater is required. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians typically install this type of equipment. The tank carries a 6-year warranty, reflecting a standard service-life expectation for residential storage water heaters in this class.

This water heater is suited for residential installations where 208-volt single-phase power is available, such as multi-family units, apartments, or homes served by a 208-volt electrical service. The tall upright form factor makes it appropriate for utility rooms, mechanical closets, or basement installations with adequate vertical clearance. The non-simultaneous element operation is common in residential electric water heaters and reduces peak amperage draw during recovery cycles.

Key Features

• 55-gallon storage capacity in a tall upright configuration
• 6 kW heating element output at 208 volts, single phase
• Non-simultaneous element operation reduces peak electrical load

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified tradesperson in accordance with local plumbing codes and the National Electrical Code (NEC) for the electrical connections. Shut off the electrical supply at the breaker and close the cold water supply valve before servicing or replacing the unit. Verify that the available electrical service matches the 208-volt single-phase requirement before connecting. Pressure relief valve installation and proper drain line routing are required per code on all water heater installations.
