Bradford White 415-51229-00 Module Lowfire Start Control

The Bradford White 415-51229-00 is a low-fire start control module designed exclusively for Bradford White gas-powered water heaters. It controls the initial gas flow to the burner, which is essential to a flawless and effective igniting procedure. The module briefly lowers the gas flow during startup to allow for a more quiet and controlled ignite. The module progressively raises the gas flow to the required operating level after the burner is ignited and stabilized. By using a regulated approach, the possibilities for burner interruptions and loud cracking sounds that can happen during a full-blast ignition are avoided. Furthermore, by limiting the first gas surge, the low-fire start control can help minimize fuel consumption and increase burner efficiency.
