Defender Safety System ® , Vitraglas ® and Hydrojet
Residential Direct Vent
The Direct Vent FVIR Defender Safety System
Closed Combustion—All air for combustion is taken directly from the
outside. The co-axial vent pipe (pipe inside a pipe) draws combustion air in
through the outer pipe (5"), and exhausts the products of combustion through
the inner pipe (3"). The co-axial vent pipe at the top of the unit can be rotated
for venting flexibility.
Reinforced Seals—Seals surround the closed combustion chamber and the
FVIR inner door, preventing the ignition of flammable vapors outside of the
water heater.
Piezo Igniter—Easy and quick lighting of the pilot burner by push button.
Pedestal Base—Rugged and durable base allows easy transport and
positioning, corrosion resistant contact with floor.
Maintenance Free—The co-axial vent piping and the closed combustion
chamber with reinforced seals do not require regular cleaning under normal
operating conditions.
Sight Window—Offers a view into the combustion chamber to observe the
operation of the pilot and burner.
No Electrical Power Necessary.
Factory installed Hydrojet
sediment reducing device. Helps prevent sediment build up in tank. Increases
first hour delivery of hot water while minimizing temperature build up in tank.
Vitraglas ®
corrosive effects of hot water by an exclusive ceramic porcelain-like coating.
The Bradford White high silica Vitraglas
for our water heater tanks.
Fully Automatic Controls—Built-in gas pressure regulation and energy cut-
off switch.
Optional Vent Kits—Allow for up to 8 foot max vertical and 8 foot max
horizontal (2.4 meters). All DS models must be terminated horizontally.
1" Non-CFC Foam Insulation—Surrounds the tank surface, saving energy
by retarding loss of heat.
Water Connections—3/4" NPT factory installed true dielectric fittings extend
water heater life and eases installation.
Factory Installed Heat Traps—Design incorporates a flexible disk that
reduces heat loss in piping and eliminates the potential for noise generation.
Protective Magnesium Anode Rod—Provides added protection against
corrosion for long trouble-free service.
Flue Baffle—Maximizes the amount of heat absorbed by the tank and
reduces heat loss during standby periods.
Steel Tank—Heavy gauge steel automatically formed, rolled and welded.
T&P Relief Valve—Included.
Brass Drain Valve.
Design Certified by CSA International (formerly AGA and CGA).
6 or 10-Year Limited Tank Warranties / 6-Year Limited Warranty on Component Parts.
