Bradford White 229-53466-01 PEX Dip Tube 3/4 NPT HydroJet Cold Water Inlet

The Bradford White 229-53466-01 is a genuine OEM replacement PEX dip tube designed for Bradford White water heaters. Featuring a 3/4" NPT connection and Bradford White's patented HydroJet® Total Performance System, this dip tube is engineered to improve cold water delivery and overall water heater efficiency.

The HydroJet design directs incoming cold water to the bottom of the tank in a turbulent pattern, which helps reduce sediment buildup and maintains more consistent water temperatures throughout the tank. The PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) construction provides excellent resistance to heat, scale, and corrosion compared to traditional plastic dip tubes.

Key Features:

• Genuine Bradford White OEM replacement part — ensures proper fit and function
• PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) construction — superior heat and chemical resistance
• 3/4" NPT threaded fitting — standard cold water inlet connection
• HydroJet® Total Performance System — turbulent flow design minimizes sediment accumulation
• Improves thermal efficiency — reduces cold and hot water mixing at the inlet
• Direct OEM replacement — maintains manufacturer warranty compliance

This dip tube is a critical component in maintaining the performance and longevity of Bradford White water heaters. It is recommended to replace the dip tube if you notice a drop in hot water output, discolored water, or small plastic particles in your water supply.
