Determine the Age
of Your Water Heater

The chart below is intended to assist you in identifying the year and month in which your water heater was manufactured.

EXAMPLE:
In Serial No: BH6511396 --> B=2005 & H=August

Bradford White uses a 20-year letter designation rotation in serial numbers. Therefore, please be aware that water heaters manufactured 20 years apart will have the same serial number “letter year” designation (i.e. A = 2004 and 1984).
