Simple, effective and quiet.

Silence is Golden and green with these newly designed energy saving heat traps from Bradford White. In a typical installation, a residential water heater looses some of the heat it generates right up through the inlet and outlet piping. Bradford White’s new heat traps can reduce standby heat loss up to 40+% and help to save money.

Available for both inlet and outlet fittings, the new design incorporates a flexible disk that helps prevent heat from traveling up into distribution piping without obstructing water flow. Unlike old ball-style heat traps, the potential for noise generation is eliminated by the flexible disk material design.

Bradford White’s new heat traps are factory installed on all residential gas and electric models with 3/4" NPT top inlet and outlet water connections*. They are also offered for retrofit applications in a kit available from your Bradford White wholesaler.

Bradford White now offers new style heat traps that are factory installed on all residential gas and electric models with 3/4" NPT top inlet and outlet water connections.*

The new design has many benefits compared to the old ball-style...
