Bradford White 265-45510-02 Gas Valve

The Bradford White 265-45510-02 Gas Valve is a specialized LP gas control valve engineered for high-recovery commercial water heating systems. As a 750mv millivolt gas valve, it utilizes a self-powered thermopile circuit to manage combustion without external electrical input. This OEM component features a 3/4 inch NPT connection and is factory-calibrated for liquid propane, operating within a specific manifold pressure range of 8 to 12 inches water column. Designed as a direct replacement for Bradford White DM Series models, this kit includes the necessary wiring harness adaptor to ensure a secure interface with existing pilot assemblies and ECO (Energy Cut-Off) circuits. When diagnosing pilot dropout or main burner ignition failure in commercial propane water heaters, this valve provides the precise regulation required to maintain thermal efficiency and safe operating parameters in demanding high-demand environments.

Key Benefits for Contractors:

• OEM Compatibility: Guaranteed fit for Bradford White models DM38T155, DM75T125, DM75T160, DM80T180, and DM80T199.
• Precise Regulation: Maintains consistent LP gas pressure between 8" and 12" W.C. for optimal burner performance.
• Millivolt System Ready: Integrated 750mv operation allows for reliable functionality in non-powered applications.
• Complete Installation Kit: Includes the essential harness adaptor for quick field replacement and reduced downtime.
• Heavy-Duty Construction: Built to withstand the high-cycle demands of commercial domestic hot water (DHW) applications.

Common Questions & Technical Insights:

What is the manifold pressure setting for this valve?
This LP gas valve is designed for a manifold pressure of 8" to 12" W.C. Always use a manometer to verify the pressure during commissioning to ensure it matches the heater’s rating plate.

Does this valve require an external power source?
No, this is a 750mv millivolt system. It generates the necessary voltage through the thermopile in the pilot flame assembly to operate the solenoid.

Can this valve be used for Natural Gas applications?
No, the Bradford White 265-45510-02 is specifically calibrated for Liquefied Petroleum (Propane) and should not be used in Natural Gas systems due to different orifice and pressure requirements.
