The Bradford White RG2506N is a high-efficiency 50-gallon natural gas atmospheric-vent water heater, ideal for residential homes needing powerful hot water delivery and reliable long-term performance. Featuring a 50,000 BTUburner and an impressive 63-gallon first-hour rating, this model is engineered to provide consistent hot water for families, multi-fixture use, and high-demand situations.

Built with Bradford White’s signature Vitraglas® tank lining, a magnesium anode rod, and the advanced HydroJet® Sediment Reduction System, this heater offers superior corrosion resistance and long service life. The ICON® gas control system ensures precise temperature control, advanced diagnostics, and reliable ignition performance.

Because this unit uses a millivolt pilot system with a built-in piezo igniter, it requires no external electricity, making it a strong choice for rural homes, power-outage scenarios, and off-grid properties.

The Defender Safety System® prevents burner operation if flammable vapors are detected, adding an important layer of safety.
