Bradford White 265-46493-125 LP to Natural Gas Conversion Kit
Bradford White 265-46493-125 LP to Natural Gas Conversion Kit lets a licensed technician field-convert a Bradford White RG1PV40S(N,X)19 residential power-vent water heater from liquid propane to natural gas fuel, rated across the tank's full 0 to 10,100 ft. elevation range. This is a factory-engineered conversion kit for the Residential Gas Power Vent platform built with Bradford White's Hydrojet Total Performance System — matched to this exact nameplate, not a universal orifice swap.
The kit converts the tank's fuel path to work with the natural gas burner assembly used on this same chassis, 265-47439-06-32, in place of the factory LP burner, 265-47440-31-50. Because Bradford White pairs a distinct conversion kit to each individual model in the power-vent lineup, always confirm the model and serial number before ordering — the closely related RG1PV50S19 nameplate uses a different kit, 265-46493-126, and conversion kits are never interchangeable between models even within the same series.
Key Benefits
- Factory-matched conversion: Engineered specifically for the RG1PV40S(N,X)19 power-vent water heater, not a generic universal kit.
- Full altitude rating: Covers the tank's entire 0 to 10,100 ft. elevation range in a single kit, with no separate high-altitude version to track down.
- Avoids a full burner swap purchase: Converts fuel type without needing to buy the complete natural gas burner assembly separately.
- Keeps the unit in code: Uses Bradford White's factory-specified conversion components rather than field-fabricated orifice substitutions.
Common Questions
- What tank does this conversion kit fit? Bradford White's RG1PV40S(N,X)19 residential power-vent water heater.
- Can I use this kit on an RG1PV50S instead? No — the RG1PV50S(N,X)19 model uses its own dedicated conversion kit, 265-46493-126. These kits are model-specific and not interchangeable.
- Must this be installed by a licensed technician? Yes — gas-fuel conversions on any water heater should always be performed by a licensed professional in accordance with local code.
