BRADFORD WHITE RG2PV50T*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 checking the BRADFORD WHITE RG2PV50T*N19, it uses 235 therms of natural gas a year at the high draw pattern. The draw pattern is the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against. That figure is 25 therms below the 260 therms median of the 414 gas tank models registered at the same pattern.
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 235 therms figure is not printed in the registry. This site computed it from the registry's UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used. For this model the UEF is 0.72. The second input is the DOE test's daily hot-water draw for the high draw pattern. The source is the DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. Among the 414 gas tank models at that pattern, this model ranks 50th lowest in energy use. That places it in the lowest quarter of its class. The figure holds only at the test's daily draw. A home that draws more or less hot water will use a different amount of gas, and that amount is not available here. The method behind the annual energy and cost figures sets out each step.
The high draw pattern stands for a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. This model's first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, is 75 gallons. Its rated volume is 48 gallons. For a home that matches the high pattern, the 235 therms figure is the one to compare against. For a smaller household with lower daily use, this page has no energy figure, because it holds a result for the high pattern only. To check this model against units in the same class, you can look up a same-class replacement by model number. To filter by fuel, space and size instead, use the water heater selector.
The running cost is not written in this text. It depends on your state's average residential gas price, so the page computes it from your ZIP. The cost block applies that rate to the 235 therms figure at the high draw pattern. Whatever rate applies, the cost difference from the class median follows from the 25 therms gap in gas use. The median it is measured against is 260 therms. To run the figure on another ZIP, use the cost calculator for your own ZIP. The installed price range sits in its own block, with its source and date. It is a modeled installed-cost range, not a quote from an installer. How this model's gas use compares at a draw other than the high pattern is unknown.
