My charts show something like this:
Bradford-White- 1st letter in the S/N is the year of manufacturer with A being 1964, 1984 or 2004
(They use a 20 year cycle)
They skip the letters I, O, Q, R, U, V to make the full cycle.
The second letter is the month A=January through M = December (I is left out)
FIRST LETTER – YEAR OF MANUFACTURE
A = 2004 F = 1989 L = 1994 T = 1999
B = 2005 G = 1990 M = 1995 W = 2000
C = 1986 H = 1991 N = 1996 X = 2001
D = 1987 J = 1992 P = 1997 Y = 2002
E = 1988 K = 1993 S = 1998 Z = 2003
C=2006 D=2007: E=2008
SECOND LETTER – MONTH OF MANUFACTURE
A = January, B = February, C = March, D = April,
E = May, F = June, G = July, H = August,
J = September, K = October, L = November,
M = December
(Most Manufactures that use letters follow this letter to month pattern)
and
Beginning in 1973, Lochinvar started using a letter year followed by a letter month, excluding certain letters.
