BRADFORD WHITE RG2PDV40S*N

The figure of 242 therms is not a registry entry. This site computed it from two inputs. The first is the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, listed as 0.7 for this model. The second is the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The source is the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The result describes natural gas use under that test draw only, so a household that draws more or less hot water will use a different amount. Against the class median of 260 therms, the model sits 18 therms lower. The steps are set out in how the annual cost is calculated.

This model is registered for the high draw pattern, meaning a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. Its energy use is 90th lowest of 414 in that class, which places it in the lowest quarter for energy use. That rank does not show whether the tank keeps up with demand. Supply depends on the first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, which is 75 gallons here, and on the rated volume of 38 gallons. A household whose busiest hour needs more hot water than 75 gallons is outside what that rating supports. Readers comparing fuel, space or size can use the water heater selector.

The running cost is not stated in this text, because it depends on your state's average residential gas price. It is the 242 therms priced at that rate, so it changes with location. The 18 therms gap to the class median converts to a cost difference the same way, at the same rate. Enter your ZIP in the cost calculator to see both on your own rate. The installed price range appears in its own block on this page, with its source and date, as a modeled installed-cost range and not a quote.
