To check the age of your water heater, simply find the serial number and cross-reference the first letter to the table below. I can’t think of a scenario that you would need to know the month your water heater was produced, but that information is available should you need it.īelow is the decoding chart that Bradford White has posted to their website. The second letter of the serial number corresponds to the month that the water heater was manufactured. The first letter of the serial number corresponds to the year that the water heater was manufactured. The first two letters of the serial number are all you need to focus on. To check the age of your water heater you will need to locate the serial number on the label. While Bradford-White does not print a manufacturing date on the label, they do supply us with their chart so you can easily cross-reference the age of your water heater. Unless you have an obscure unit that has sat in a warehouse for an extended period of time, it’s rare to see a date of manufacturing not be within a few months of the installation date of a water heater. Obviously, the manufactured date and installation date will never be the same on any water heater, but they are typically close. For unknown reasons, some manufacturers refuse to print a calendar date on the label to tell you, the homeowner, when a water heater was manufactured. Determining the age of your Bradford-White water heater can be tricky if you don’t have the associated table to decode your serial number.
