“Replacing a water heater isn't always straightforward, especially when you're working in an older building,” said Neal Heyman, senior director of marketing for Bradford White Corporation. “Contractors have to work with the space and connections that are already there. We keep those challenges in mind when we're designing our products.”

The eF XT, introduced earlier this year, was designed with commercial replacement projects in mind. Its flexible water connections and venting options can help contractors navigate existing mechanical rooms where space and installation requirements may limit their choices.

The Infiniti GC will also be on display, and contractors can learn more about the tankless model during a dedicated educational session from 10-10:30 a.m., Oct. 21, in Learning Lab 1.

“There's a difference between reading about a product and seeing it up close," Heyman said. "CONNECT gives contractors a chance to ask questions, look at the equipment and get a better sense of how it could work for the jobs they're handling every day.”
