| Configuration | Tall |
| Voltage | 240V |
| Elements | 2 (Non-Simultaneous standard) |
| Pressure Rating | 150 PSI |

Tall vs. Short: Which Configuration Fits Your Space?
The Core Trade-Off
Unlike the "Short" model's wider, lower-clearance profile, this "Tall" configuration trades footprint for height — a taller, likely narrower tank designed for installations with generous vertical clearance but more limited floor space, such as a standard-height utility closet or mechanical room with a smaller footprint.
Why the Weight Difference Matters
Notably, this Tall 40-gallon model weighs 103 lbs, lighter than the Short 40-gallon model's 114 lbs — worth being aware of for installation logistics, even though total water capacity is identical between the two.
Choosing Between Tall and Short
| Short (40-Gal) | Tall (40-Gal, this model) | |
|---|---|---|
| Height | 49-7/16" | Taller (confirm exact height with Bradford White spec sheet) |
| Weight | 114 lbs | 103 lbs |
| Best for | Limited ceiling clearance | Limited floor footprint, standard ceiling height |
If you're not sure which configuration fits your specific installation space, our technicians can measure your mechanical room or closet and recommend the right profile before you order — swapping tank shapes after purchase means a return/reorder, so getting this right upfront saves time and hassle.
Shared Features with the Short Model
Since this listing shares the same core product line as the Short electric model, the same underlying technology applies:
- Vitraglas lining for corrosion protection
- Hydrojet Total Performance System for sediment reduction
- Magnesium anode rod for long-term corrosion protection
- Simultaneous/non-simultaneous element operation flexibility
- Multiple voltage options (120V, 208V, 240V, 277V, 480V) and single- or three-phase configurations for non-standard installations
Professional Installation Matters
Because electric water heater installation requires proper circuit sizing and confirming your specific configuration (Tall vs. Short) fits your available space, professional installation and pre-purchase space assessment are both valuable. Our licensed electricians and plumbers will:
- Measure your installation space to confirm the Tall configuration is the right fit
- Verify your electrical panel supports the required 240V circuit
- Complete water and electrical connections per code
- Configure element operation mode based on your household's needs
- Test both elements and confirm proper temperature control
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the actual height difference between Tall and Short models?
Exact dimensions should be confirmed against the specific Bradford White spec sheet for this model, but generally "Tall" configurations trade a narrower footprint for greater height compared to "Short" models of the same capacity.
Does the Tall configuration hold more hot water than the Short?
No — both are rated at 40 gallons; the difference is purely in tank shape/dimensions to accommodate different installation space constraints, not capacity.
Can I switch from Short to Tall (or vice versa) if my space allows either?
Yes — since capacity and core technology are identical, the choice comes down entirely to which shape fits your available installation space; our technicians can help you decide if either would work.
