Bradford White 415-52909-01 Liquid Propane Gas Valve 10 Inch Water Column 1/2 Inch

The Bradford White 415-52909-01 Liquid Propane Gas Valve Water Column is a safety-focused device specifically designed for regulating liquid propane gas flow in water heater applications. This valve precisely controls the pressure of liquid propane gas entering your water heater burner. Consistent gas pressure ensures efficient fuel combustion and optimal hot water production. The water column design utilizes the weight of water to create a constant pressure reference. As liquid propane gas flows through the valve, it pushes against a diaphragm within the water column. The water column height is carefully calibrated to ensure the gas pressure leaving the valve remains at a steady ½ psi regardless of minor fluctuations in the incoming propane line pressure. Constructed with durable aluminum, the 415-52909-01 is built to withstand the operating temperatures and pressures typical of residential water heaters. By maintaining a consistent gas pressure, this valve contributes to clean and efficient combustion within your water heater. This reduces the risk of incomplete burning and potential hazards like carbon monoxide production. Additionally, it optimizes fuel usage for cost-effective hot water generation. With a compact size (1-inch diameter), lightweight design (approximately 3.13 lbs), and NPT threads for easy installation, the Bradford White 415-52909-01 Liquid Propane Gas Valve Water Column is a crucial component for safe and efficient operation of your propane gas water heater.
