BRADFORD WHITE URG2PDV50H*N
0.68 UEF DOE CCD · 2026-09-19Grade F: 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 this unit for a larger household, the BRADFORD WHITE URG2PDV50H*N gas tank uses 249 therms a year at the federal test's high daily hot-water draw, 11 therms below the class median of 260 therms. It ranks 164th lowest of 414. This site computed the figure from registry data, not from a measurement.
Energy use per year
249 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 164 of 414, lowest energy first.
Solid line: this model (249 therms). Dashed line: the class median.

The registry lists this model with a UEF, the ratio of hot water delivered to energy used, of 0.68. This site combined that value with the daily hot-water volume DOE assigns to the high draw pattern, the standard daily hot-water usage DOE tests against, to reach 249 therms of natural gas a year. The registry does not publish that annual figure itself. The source is DOE CCD, retrieved 2026-09-19. The class median is 260 therms, so this unit sits 11 therms below it. Its rank of 164th lowest of 414 places it in the second-lowest quarter of its class for energy use.
The high draw pattern describes a larger household, or one where showers and laundry overlap. For that pattern, the model has a first hour rating, the gallons of hot water available in the first hour from a full tank, of 82 gallons, with a rated volume of 46 gallons. The figure of 249 therms applies only at the federal test's daily draw. A household that draws more or less hot water than that will use a different amount of gas, and this page has no value for those cases. It does not suit a reader who needs a figure for another draw pattern or fuel. To compare by fuel, space and size, use the water heater selector.
This page states no running cost. The cost depends on your state's average residential gas price, and that price applied to 249 therms gives the yearly figure for your case. The cost calculator for your own ZIP does this, and the annual cost methodology explains how it is calculated. The difference of 11 therms from the class median of 260 therms is a difference in energy, and what it means in cost changes with the gas price. Installed cost appears in its own block as a modeled range, not a quote. The data holds no measured field use for BRADFORD WHITE URG2PDV50H*N, so real consumption may differ from the tested draw.
