Bradford White 415-53361-05 Control Valve
The Bradford White 415-53361-05 Control Valve is a direct replacement gas control valve designed for specific atmospheric vent water heaters. This natural gas water heater thermostat integrates a precision thermopile-powered gas valve with a built-in safety shut-off mechanism and high-limit sensor. Featuring an adjustable temperature dial and pilot light indicator, it ensures reliable pilot ignition and consistent water temperature management. Built for compatibility with Bradford White Defender Safety System models, this valve manages gas flow to the burner assembly with high accuracy. Technicians should verify water heater gas valve troubleshooting steps, including millivolt output testing, before replacement. The 415-53361-05 utilizes standard 1/2" NPT connections for the gas supply and is calibrated for 4.0" W.C. manifold pressure. High-grade internal components reduce common failure points associated with thermal cycling and debris within the gas line, ensuring sustained performance for commercial and residential installations.
- OEM Compatibility: Exact fit for Bradford White Defender Safety System (DS) models using natural gas water heater parts.
- Self-Powered Operation: Operates on millivolts generated by the thermopile, requiring no external electrical power source.
- Enhanced Safety: Built-in High Limit Switch (ECO) automatically interrupts gas flow if water temperature exceeds safe operating parameters.
- Precise Control: Features a mechanical thermostat for accurate temperature regulation and consistent recovery rates.
Common Questions
How do I test the Bradford White 415-53361-05 for failure?
Technicians should use a multimeter to check for a minimum of 350-500 millivolts from the thermopile. If voltage is present but the main burner fails to ignite after the pilot is established, the internal solenoid within the control valve may be defective.
Can this gas valve be used with liquid propane units?
No, this specific part number is calibrated for Natural Gas (NG) only. Installing an NG valve on a Propane (LP) system will lead to dangerous over-firing and component damage.
What are the symptoms of a faulty water heater control valve?
Common failure indicators include a pilot light that will not stay lit, the main burner refusing to cycle on despite a functional pilot, or water temperature fluctuations that do not match the dial setting.
