Bradford White 265-46007-02 Gas Valve
The Bradford White 265-46007-02 Gas Valve is an OEM replacement residential water heater control designed for precise manifold pressure regulation and thermostatic operation. This natural gas water heater valve features an integrated piezo igniter and a built-in high-limit switch (ECO) to provide critical safety protection against overheating. Engineered specifically for the Bradford White Defender Safety System, it utilizes a standard 1/2-inch NPT inlet and 1/2-inch inverted flare outlet to ensure a secure fit within the combustion chamber assembly. For contractors performing a water heater gas control replacement, this component is essential for resolving issues related to pilot outages, failed thermopiles, or inconsistent burner firing. This valve ensures the unit maintains optimal thermal efficiency while adhering to strict NOx emission standards. Verifying the water heater model number and gas type is mandatory prior to installation to ensure proper thermopile output compatibility and safe operation.
Key Benefits
- Direct OEM Replacement: Ensures exact fitment and mechanical compatibility with Bradford White Defender Safety System models.
- Integrated Safety Controls: Includes a factory-calibrated ECO (Energy Cut-Off) to prevent tank overheating.
- Simplified Ignition: Features a built-in piezo spark generator for reliable pilot lighting without external tools.
- Precise Gas Regulation: Maintains consistent manifold pressure for optimized flame stability and energy consumption.
Common Questions
How do I troubleshoot a Bradford White gas valve status light?
The LED indicator provides diagnostic flash codes; common signals indicate issues with the thermopile voltage, high-limit trips, or gas supply pressure.
Can this valve be converted from Natural Gas to Propane?
No, this gas control is calibrated specifically for natural gas and cannot be field-converted. Always match the fuel source to the valve specifications.
What are the symptoms of a failing gas control valve?
Signs include a pilot that will not stay lit, the burner failing to ignite despite a functioning pilot, or the water not reaching set temperatures.
