Bradford White 415-52909-01 Gas Valve

The Bradford White 415-52909-01 Gas Valve is a direct replacement gas control specifically engineered for residential atmospheric vent water heaters utilizing liquid propane. This 10" wc LP gas valve features a standard 1/2" gas inlet and outlet, ensuring seamless integration during field service. As the designated successor to the Honeywell WV8840A5000 and the discontinued 239-47465-01, this OEM component incorporates an intelligent LED diagnostic system. The multi-color indicator streamlines troubleshooting for technicians: a green light confirms normal burner operation, while amber and red signals indicate required service or critical system failures. Built with a rugged outer cover to protect internal electronics during installation, this Bradford White ICON system valve provides precise temperature regulation via an ergonomic control knob. Professional installation is required to ensure proper manifold pressure and pilot safety thresholds are met within the combustion chamber.

Common Questions:

What does a flashing red LED light on the valve indicate?
The red indicator on the Bradford White 415-52909-01 typically signals a critical fault, such as a localized overheat condition or a sensor failure, necessitating immediate technical inspection.

Can this 10" wc LP valve be used for natural gas units?
No. This valve is calibrated specifically for liquid propane (LP). Installing an LP valve on a natural gas system creates a severe safety hazard and improper combustion.

Does this replacement include the thermal well?
This SKU is the gas control valve assembly. While it fits standard Bradford White 1-inch cavity openings, technicians should verify if the existing 239-44078-00 gasket kit requires replacement during the swap.
