Bradford White 229-47040-01 Dip Tube
Professional-grade water heater maintenance requires exact OEM specifications to ensure thermal efficiency. The Bradford White 229-47040-01 Dip Tube is a high-performance cold water inlet tube specifically engineered for Hydrojet II total performance systems. Constructed from high-grade polypropylene (PP), this 46-3/8 inch dip tube features a 1-inch NPT connection and an integrated 2-1/2 inch galvanized nipple. By directing incoming cold water to the bottom of the tank, it maintains proper temperature stratification and prevents the premature mixing of water layers that leads to "short-cycling." Professionals often cross-reference this part with 415-47040-01, as both represent the identical OEM replacement dip tube. Restoring the internal flow dynamics with this Bradford White replacement part is critical for resolving symptoms like lukewarm water or rapid loss of hot water during high-demand periods.
Key Benefits- OEM Precision: Genuine Bradford White 229-47040-01 ensures seamless fitment and restores original factory performance.
- Hydrojet II Technology: Designed to work with the Hydrojet system to reduce sediment buildup and increase turbulence for better heating.
- High-Temperature Durability: The polypropylene construction is rated for high-pressure potable water systems, preventing tube degradation.
- Optimized Recovery: Maintains the stratified temperature layering required for consistent hot water delivery and energy efficiency.
How do I know if my dip tube has failed?
If you experience a sudden drop in hot water volume or "slugs" of cold water during a shower, the tube may be cracked or disconnected, allowing cold inlet water to bypass the heating zone.
Is the 229-47040-01 compatible with all Bradford White models?
This specific 46-3/8 inch dip tube is designed for select 1-inch NPT top-entry models. Always verify your specific model number against the manufacturer parts list before installation.
Can I cut this dip tube to a shorter length?
While physically possible, it is not recommended for Hydrojet models as the specific length and orifice design are tuned for the tank’s turbulence and heating efficiency.
