First letter = year of manufacture

Beginning with A = 1964 or A = 1984o r for newer water heaters made after 2003, A = 2004

Ending with Z = 2003 or, for example, M = 2016 etc.

Notes to the Bradford White Water Heater age decoder table above:

Note that the letters I, O, Q, R, U are not used

Second letter = month of manufacture

Later model water heaters may replace letters with an actual year and month encoding as numeric digits.

Beginning with A = January and ending with M = December

Example: Bradford White water heater serial number ZJnnnnnnn = 2003, September

Note: in the month code the company encodes the month in A - M and does not make use of letters I, O, Q, R, U or V)
