Bradford White RG2DV50S6XFLX 50 Gal Lp Direct Vent Water Heater

Product Description

The BRADFORD WHITE RG2DV50S6XFLX is a 50-gallon residential liquid propane direct vent water heater designed for installation in spaces that require sealed combustion and exterior venting. Rated at 40,000 BTU/h, it delivers fast recovery for typical household demand. The unit ships with a flexible vent kit, simplifying the venting rough-in for new construction and retrofit applications. Bradford White's Defender Safety System provides an added layer of protection against ignition of flammable vapors near the unit. A licensed plumber or gas fitter handles installation in compliance with local mechanical and gas codes.

This water heater is suited for residential applications where a standard atmospheric or power-vent unit is not practical. The direct vent configuration draws combustion air from outside and exhausts flue gases through a dedicated sealed duct system, making it appropriate for tight utility closets, interior mechanical rooms, or any space without adequate combustion air. The included flexible vent kit supports common horizontal or vertical termination configurations without requiring separate vent component sourcing.
