BRADFORD WHITE RG140T*N
0.59 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade G: where this UEF sits among the 288 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
A gas tank, medium draw pattern (a typical three- or four-person household, about 55 gallons on a busy morning).
If you are checking BRADFORD WHITE RG140T*N against its registry entry, it uses 188 therms of natural gas a year at the medium draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That is 3 therms above the class median of 185 therms, placing it 186th lowest of 288 gas tank models.
Energy use per year
188 therms a year
Computed by this site from the registry's UEF and the federal test's daily hot-water draw for this draw pattern. What it costs depends on the natural gas rate where you live.
That is above the median of 185 therms for the 288 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 186 of 288, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (188 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

The figure of 188 therms is calculated by this site, not published by the registry. It is derived from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.59 for this model, and from the daily hot-water draw the DOE test assigns to the medium draw pattern. The figure is natural gas use, taken from DOE CCD data retrieved 2026-09-19. Against the class median of 185 therms, this model sits 3 therms higher. The calculation method is documented on its own page, so this page does not repeat it.
The medium draw pattern describes a typical three- or four-person household. This model's figure applies to that use only, and the registry data does not say how much hot water any particular home draws. A household with a different daily use will see a different gas total. The model ranks 186th lowest in energy use among 288 gas tank models, which puts it in the second-highest quarter of its class for energy use. Its first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 64 gallons, and its rated volume is 38 gallons. Readers comparing options by fuel, space and size can use the water heater selector.
The running cost is not written in this text because it depends on the state average residential gas price, which differs by reader. Multiplying 188 therms by the price per therm in your area gives an estimate, and the cost calculator does this from your ZIP code. The result holds only for the medium draw pattern at the federal test's daily draw. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block on this page with its source and date, and it is not a quote. To compare against another unit in the same class, find a same-class replacement by model number, starting from RG140T*N.
