Bradford White 243-46151-01 Gas Valve
The Bradford White 243-46151-01 Gas Valve is a direct replacement natural gas control valve engineered for the Icon System accessory line. This Honeywell water heater gas valve utilizes thermopile power, eliminating the need for external electricity by leveraging the millivolt output from the pilot assembly to operate the gas manifold and integrated thermostat. Designed with a 1/2" NPT inlet and a 1/2" NPT outlet, this Robertshaw-style replacement ensures precise fuel regulation and consistent thermal expansion management within the tank. For technicians performing water heater gas valve troubleshooting, this unit features a diagnostic LED status indicator that provides real-time feedback on pilot health and sensor continuity. Built for high-cycle reliability in residential applications, it serves as a critical component in maintaining energy factor (EF) ratings. Professional installation is required to ensure proper manifold pressure calibration and leak-free seating of the sensing bulb within the immersion well.
- Intelligent Diagnostics: Features a high-visibility LED indicator for rapid troubleshooting of pilot and thermocouple issues.
- Millivolt Powered: Utilizes a thermopile to generate independent power, ensuring operation during electrical outages.
- Direct Fit Compatibility: Specifically designed for Bradford White units to maintain original equipment manufacturer (OEM) flow rates.
- Internal Filtration: Includes integrated debris screening to protect the valve seat from sediment-related failures.
- Precise Temperature Control: Advanced thermostatic sensing reduces stacking and over-firing risks.
Common Questions
What does the flashing light on the 243-46151-01 indicate?
The integrated diagnostic LED provides specific flash codes to identify issues such as weak thermopile voltage, high-limit trips, or sensor failure, allowing for faster field diagnosis without a multimeter.
Can this gas valve be converted from Natural Gas to Liquid Propane?
No. This specific model is factory-calibrated for natural gas manifold pressures. Field conversion of water heater gas valves is generally not supported due to safety regulations and fixed orifice configurations.
Does this valve include the plastic cover and knob?
Yes, this assembly typically includes the thermostat dial and protective housing required for a complete retrofit on compatible Bradford White tanks.
