Bradford White 415-53361-01 Control Kit
The Bradford White 415-53361-01 Control Kit is an essential OEM replacement part designed for the maintenance and repair of Bradford White gas water heaters. This kit features a high-performance gas control valve and a built-in piezoelectric igniter, ensuring a reliable spark for consistent pilot ignition. Engineered for precise temperature regulation, the integrated immersion-style thermostat monitors tank water temperatures to maintain set points while the redundant solenoid valve provides a critical safety layer for gas shut-off. This specific gas control assembly is compatible with Defender Safety System models, utilizing specialized honeywell gas valve technology to prevent the ignition of flammable vapors outside the combustion chamber. For HVACR contractors, this kit provides a direct-fit solution that minimizes downtime and eliminates the need for field modifications, ensuring the water heater operates within original manufacturer specifications and safety parameters.
Key Technical Benefits- Direct OEM Replacement: Ensures full compatibility with Bradford White 415-53361-01 specifications for a seamless installation.
- Integrated Safety Controls: Features a high-limit energy cut-off (ECO) to prevent overheating and potential tank damage.
- Millivolt Power System: Utilizes a thermopile to generate the necessary voltage for the gas valve operation, requiring no external power source.
- Enhanced Durability: Constructed with heavy-duty internal components to withstand consistent heat cycling and pressure.
How do I troubleshoot a pilot that will not stay lit on this valve?
Verify the thermopile is generating at least 650-850 millivolts and that the wire connections to the 415-53361-01 control are secure. Ensure the combustion chamber is clean and receiving adequate airflow.
Is this control kit compatible with Propane (LP) units?
This specific kit is calibrated for Natural Gas water heaters. Always verify the fuel type on the water heater rating plate before installing a replacement gas valve.
Does this kit include the pilot assembly?
This kit focuses on the gas control valve and igniter; however, it is standard practice for technicians to inspect the pilot tube and thermopile for carbon buildup when replacing the main control.
