Bradford White 265-46182-02 Gas Valve
The Bradford White 265-46182-02 Gas Valve is a direct OEM replacement LP gas control valve engineered for precise manifold pressure regulation in propane-fired water heaters. This Robertshaw thermostatic gas valve features a built-in high-limit ECO (Energy Cut-Off) sensor and utilizes a standard thermopile connection for pilot safety monitoring. Designed for use in Bradford White Defender Safety System models, this liquid propane gas valve ensures accurate temperature sensing via its integrated immersion probe. It operates with a specific WC (Water Column) pressure setting optimized for LP combustion, maintaining consistent burner performance. For technicians servicing residential or light commercial units, this assembly provides the necessary millivolt control to restore reliable ignition and thermal regulation. Ensure all pipe threads are sealed with LP-rated compound and perform a soap bubble leak test on the 1/2-inch NPT connections after installation to meet manufacturer safety protocols.
Key Benefits:
- OEM Compatibility: Exact replacement for specific Bradford White 265-46182-02 configurations to maintain system certification.
- Integrated Safety: Features a high-limit sensor that interrupts gas flow if tank temperatures exceed safe operating parameters.
- Durable Construction: Heavy-duty internal diaphragms designed to withstand the corrosive properties of liquid propane.
- Thermal Accuracy: Rapid-response immersion probe provides real-time water temperature feedback to the internal thermostat.
Common Questions:
How do I troubleshoot a Bradford White pilot that won't stay lit?
First, verify the thermopile voltage output; if the millivolt signal is within spec and the pilot still drops out, the internal electromagnet in the 265-46182-02 gas valve may be fouled or failed.
Is this valve compatible with Natural Gas units?
No, this is a dedicated LP gas valve. Installing this on a Natural Gas system will cause improper combustion and hazardous manifold pressures.
What is the thread size for the gas inlet?
This valve typically utilizes a 1/2-inch NPT inlet and outlet, standard for most residential power-vent and atmospheric propane water heaters.
