About the eF Series high-efficiency power vent / power direct vent (RC2PV / RC2PDV)

The eF Series is the condensing storage option in Bradford White's Canadian gas range, recovering latent heat through a dual-pass heat exchanger and venting in 2, 3 or 4 in PVC-family pipe with a condensate drain. Both models carry a 76,000 BTU/h input and a UEF of 0.80, well above the atmospheric line, with first-hour ratings of 120 (RC2PV50H6N) and 125 (RC2PDV50H6N) US gallons.

Whether CANRO stocks a given eF model for a job is confirmed at consultation.

Frequently asked questions

What makes the eF Series different from the Defender tanks?

It is a condensing storage tank: a dual-pass heat exchanger recovers latent heat for UEF 0.80 against roughly 0.54–0.64 on the atmospheric line, with PVC-family venting and a condensate drain instead of a chimney draft hood.
