01
Vitraglas® Enamel Lining
Proprietary glass-ceramic lining bonded at 1,650°F creates a seamless corrosion barrier. Refined over 70 years — significantly more robust than retail-grade tanks.
02
Hydrojet® Total Performance
Turbulence-inducing dip tube prevents sediment buildup — a primary cause of premature failure in GTA hard water conditions. No manual flushing required.
03
Defender Safety System®
Proprietary flame arrestor prevents accidental ignition from flammable vapours — critical for garages and mechanical rooms where cleaning products may be stored.
Why It Matters
The Plumber's Choice. Not the Big Box Choice.
Bradford White is not sold at hardware stores. It's a trade-exclusive brand — built to a higher standard, for contractors who stake their reputation on every installation.
