We have a tool that plumbing pros use to help you match an old model from most other manufacturers to a comparable new Bradford White model. This RightSpec® Cross reference tool will require you to have your current model number handy. Generally, you should be able to find it on the ‘rating plate’ on your current water heater. Once you have that, go to the Cross Reference Tool and select your Country, Manufacturer and provide your model number. The tool will do the rest and show you what new Bradford White model is the closest match with a link to a technical ‘specifications sheet’. You can download that sheet and share it with your plumbing pro when you call them about your replacement request. Tell them you insist on the quality of a Bradford White. Need a pro?
