Bradford White 415-53359-00 Control

The Bradford White 415-53359-00 ICON Gas Control Valve is a direct replacement for the legacy 239-47851-00, engineered specifically for natural gas water heaters. This millivolt-powered thermostat utilizes an intelligent gas control system that eliminates the need for external electricity, relying on a thermopile to power the integrated piezo igniter and control circuit. Designed for high-performance residential applications, this valve features a precise microprocessor control that monitors tank temperatures to ensure narrow differential operation and consistent thermal output. The 415-53359-00 is critical for maintaining combustion safety and Energy Star compliance through its advanced LED status indicator, which provides real-time diagnostics for service technicians. This natural gas water heater control is built with a rugged manifold pressure regulator and high-limit switch to prevent overheating. When performing a water heater thermostat replacement, this genuine OEM part ensures exact flange alignment and NPT thread compatibility with the original tank configuration.

• Direct OEM Compatibility: Serves as the factory-authorized replacement for the 239-47851-00, ensuring zero-clearance issues during natural gas valve installation.
• Intelligent Diagnostics: Features an integrated LED error code system to streamline troubleshooting of thermopile voltage or pilot assembly failures.
• Millivolt Operation: Operates independently of house current, making it a reliable solution for maintaining hot water during power outages.
• Enhanced Safety: Includes a factory-calibrated ECO (Energy Cut-Off) and high-limit sensor to protect against excessive water temperatures.

Common Questions

How do I fix a blinking red light on my Bradford White gas control valve?
The blinking LED is an ICON system diagnostic tool. Refer to the technical service manual to correlate the number of flashes with specific codes, such as low millivoltage or a tripped thermal switch.

Can I use the 415-53359-00 to replace a liquid propane (LP) valve?
No. This control is calibrated for natural gas manifold pressure and orifice sizing. Installing this on an LP system creates a significant safety hazard; always match the fuel type to the OEM part number.

Is the piezo igniter included with this gas control?
Yes, the Bradford White ICON system includes the integrated piezoelectric igniter, simplifying the pilot lighting procedure without requiring external tools.
