Why does my Bradford White RG130T N Water Heater pilot light keep going out, and I don't have enough hot water?

If your Bradford White Water Heater pilot light goes out periodically and you're not getting enough hot water, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the unit has enough combustion air by checking for any obstructions in the jacket slot openings and cleaning the flame arrestor plate. Second, verify the venting system is properly sized and operating correctly. Also, check the gas supply and line pressure. If the water temperature is very cold, consider tempering the incoming water supply. If the thermostat is set too low, adjust it. If demand is too high, adjust usage. A plumbing professional can help if the heater is incorrectly sized. If the thermostat is not functioning correctly, it should be replaced. Finally, inspect the dip tube and replace if necessary.
