Bradford White 265-47439-10-32 Natural Gas Burner Assembly Complete

Bradford White 265-47439-10-32 Natural Gas Burner Assembly Complete is the genuine factory replacement burner for Bradford White's Energy Saver atmospheric-vent gas water heaters, fitting the MI50L(BN,CX,SX) and M460T(BN,CX,SX) nameplates. This is a natural gas burner assembly built for Bradford White's older "MI", "M(1,2)XR", and "M4" residential and light-duty-commercial platform — still widely serviced in the field, and a common search for anyone matching parts against the older "MI" model numbering rather than the newer RG-series.

The complete kit includes the 228-42506-00 burner, 234-41034-32 main burner orifice rated 0 to 2,000 ft. (with 234-41034-36 and 234-41034-38 covering the 2,001–5,000 ft. and 5,001–8,000 ft. altitude bands on this platform), the 233-46277-04 pilot assembly, 234-46502-05 pilot orifice, and 233-46501-24 thermocouple. Because Bradford White's Energy Saver line covers a wide span of tank sizes under closely related model codes, confirm the model and serial number before ordering — a near-identical burner, 265-47439-03-32, is used on the related MI40T(EN,BN,LN,CX) nameplate.

Key Benefits

• Genuine OEM fit: Matches Bradford White's original burner spec for the MI50L and M460T Energy Saver models — correct orifice, pilot, and thermocouple pairing for this platform.
• Multi-altitude orifice coverage: Ships with the 0–2,000 ft. orifice, with the parts family's 2,001–5,000 ft. and 5,001–8,000 ft. orifices available separately for high-altitude installs.
• Complete ignition train: Burner, orifice, pilot assembly, pilot orifice, and thermocouple all included, so a single order covers the whole combustion-side service.
• Field-proven platform: Services the long-running "MI"/"M-Series" Energy Saver tanks still common in service calls, keeping older units running instead of pushing an early replacement.

Common Questions

• What Bradford White models does this burner fit? MI50L(BN,CX,SX) and M460T(BN,CX,SX) Energy Saver atmospheric-vent gas water heaters.
• Does this kit include the thermocouple and pilot orifice, or just the main burner? It's a complete assembly — burner, main burner orifice, pilot assembly, pilot orifice, and thermocouple all ship together.
• I have an MI40T, not an MI50L — is this the right burner? No — the MI40T(EN,BN,LN,CX) nameplate uses a related but distinct part number, 265-47439-03-32. Always confirm against your tank's model and serial plate.
