BRADFORD WHITE RG2PV50S*N19

The registry does not print the 235 therms figure. This site calculates it from two inputs. The first is the model's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, which is 0.72. The second is the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. Both come from the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. Among the 414 gas tank models at this draw pattern, this model ranks 50th lowest for energy use. That places it in the lowest quarter of its class. The figure applies only at the test's daily draw. A household that uses more or less hot water will use a different amount of gas. The full steps are explained in how the annual cost is calculated.

The high draw pattern represents a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. The model's first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 78 gallons. Its rated volume is 48 gallons. A plumber or seller checking a match can compare those two values with the unit being replaced. A home with that level of overlapping demand is the case the 235 therms figure describes. To list other registered gas tank models at the same draw pattern, use find a same-class replacement by model number. To compare across other fuels and tank sizes, the water heater selector by fuel, space and size covers them.

A smaller household with lower daily hot-water use is not the case the 235 therms figure describes. This page does not have an energy figure for that case. The registry does not give a running cost either. The cost depends on the reader's state average residential gas price, so the page calculates it from the reader's ZIP and does not print a fixed amount. The 25 therms gap to the class median applies only at the test's daily draw. The cost difference also depends on your gas price. To see the cost at your own rate, enter a ZIP in the water heater cost calculator for your ZIP. The installed-cost range on this page appears in its own block. It is a modeled range, not a quote.
