Bradford White M-I-75T6FBN 75-Gallon High-Capacity Gas Water Heater Review
The Bradford White M-I-75T6FBN is a 75-gallon high-capacity natural gas water heater designed for commercial-residential crossover applications. "M-I" identifies the commercial-leaning line; "75T6FBN" reflects 75-gallon tank, 76K BTU, 6-year warranty, full-back natural gas configuration.
Specs: 75 gallons stored, 76,000 BTU input, UEF 0.62, 116-gallon FHR, 6-year tank and parts warranty. Atmospheric vent through B-vent. ICON intelligent gas control (thermopile-powered, runs through power outages). Vitraglas tank lining.
The 76K BTU burner produces ~70 gph recovery at 90°F rise — twice typical residential. Right answer for 5+ person households or light commercial applications (small food service, salon/spa).
About $2,500 plumber-installed. Wholesale-only distribution per Bradford White policy. Right buyer: large household or light commercial requiring high-recovery atmospheric gas tank with Bradford White's heavier construction.
- Natural gas combustion — faster recovery than electric resistance at comparable tank size

- Below-average UEF 0.6 — modern standard models reach 0.65+, condensing 0.95+
