Bradford White 415-45560-00 Flammable Vapor Sensor

Description

The Bradford White 415-45560-00 is an OEM replacement Flammable Vapor Sensor designed for use with compatible Bradford White water heaters. This safety device is a critical component of the Flammable Vapor Ignition Resistant (FVIR) system, helping to protect against accidental ignition of flammable vapors that may accumulate near the appliance.

How It Works

The flammable vapor sensor continuously monitors the surrounding environment for the presence of ignitable vapors such as gasoline, paint thinner, and other common household chemicals. If flammable vapors are detected at unsafe levels, the sensor triggers a lockout of the water heater’s burner system, preventing a potentially dangerous ignition event. This lockout feature is a key element of Bradford White’s FVIR technology, which meets ANSI Z21.10.1 safety standards for residential gas water heaters.

Why Replace Your Flammable Vapor Sensor?

A faulty or tripped flammable vapor sensor can cause your Bradford White water heater to enter a persistent lockout mode, preventing the burner from firing. Replacing a failed sensor with a genuine Bradford White OEM part restores normal operation and ensures your FVIR safety system continues to function as designed. Always verify compatibility with your specific water heater model number before ordering.
