Bradford White 265-47784-02-28 Natural Gas Burner Assembly

The Bradford White 265-47784-02-28 Natural Gas Burner Assembly is the OEM complete burner and feedline assembly for Bradford White PDX power direct vent gas water heaters. Bradford White's residential and light duty commercial gas parts list specifies it as the Nat. Gas Burner Assembly Complete for the PDX250T*F(BN,SX,CX) and PDX50S60F(B*N,S*X,C*X) models with serial numbers FF12046598 and later; earlier serials use 265-47439-06-28. It replaces the main burner and the gas feedline that carries fuel from the gas valve to the burner.

The individual serviceable components behind this assembly are the 228-42506-00 natural gas burner, the 234-41034-28 main burner orifice for normal altitude, the 415-45653-05 natural gas pilot assembly and the 234-45869-01 pilot orifice. The high altitude orifices are 234-41034-30 for 2,001 to 5,000 feet and 234-41034-31 above 5,000 feet. Bradford White recommends the 239-44078-00 inner door gasket kit whenever the burner is serviced, so replace the gasket while the door is open. A corroded burner shows up as sooting, a lazy yellow flame, rust flaking and flame rollout, and replacing the complete assembly resets all of it.
