BRADFORD WHITE RG2PV40S*N19
0.72 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade E: where this UEF sits among the 414 models in its class, lowest (G) to highest (A). A position, not an official label. How the grade is set
A gas tank, high draw pattern (a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap).
If you are verifying the BRADFORD WHITE RG2PV40S*N19: at the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against, this gas tank uses 235 therms of natural gas a year. That is 25 therms below the 260 therms median of the 414 models in its class.
Energy use per year
235 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 below the median of 260 therms for the 414 models registered in the same heater type and draw pattern; it ranks 50 of 414, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (235 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

The registry lists a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.72 for this model. The registry does not state 235 therms. This site computed it from that UEF and the daily hot-water draw the DOE test assigns to the high draw pattern, with natural gas as the fuel. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. Against the 414 models registered as a gas tank at the high draw pattern, this model sits 25 therms below the 260 therms class median. Its rank is 50th lowest energy use of 414, which places it in the lowest quarter of its class. The steps behind the calculation are set out on the page on how the annual cost is calculated.
The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. This model has a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 75 gallons, and a rated volume of 38 gallons. Those two figures are the ones to compare with your own busiest hour. The 235 therms figure applies to a household whose use matches the test's daily draw. It does not describe a household that draws more or less hot water than the test does. This page holds no figure for other draw patterns or for metered use in a real home. To narrow options by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector.
The running cost is not written in this text. It depends on your state average residential gas price, and this site does not estimate it. The 235 therms figure is the usage input, and your gas price is the other input. Each therm of the 25 therms gap to the 260 therms class median is charged at that same price. Enter your ZIP in the cost calculator to apply the state average to this model's usage. The modeled installed-cost range appears in its own block on this page with its source and date. It is a modeled range, not a quote. To compare RG2PV40S*N19 with another unit of the same class, find a same-class replacement by model number.
