A.o. Smith 100108358 Heating Element 120V 1650W

Product Description

The A.O. SMITH 100108358 is a copper heating element designed for electric water heater service. Rated at 120 volts and 1650 watts, this element transfers electrical energy into heat to warm the water stored in the tank. At 10.75 inches in length, it is sized for direct replacement in compatible A.O. Smith water heater tanks. Copper construction provides reliable thermal conductivity and durability in typical residential water heater applications. Licensed plumbers and water heater service technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This element is used in residential electric water heater installations where a 120-volt, low-wattage element is specified. The 10.75-inch length suits standard tank configurations that accept this element size. It is appropriate for single-element or dual-element water heater setups where the lower-wattage 120-volt rating matches the system design. Always verify voltage rating and element length against the existing water heater label before ordering.

Installation Notes

Heating element replacement is typically performed by a licensed plumber or qualified water heater technician. Before beginning work, shut off the electrical supply at the breaker and close the cold water inlet valve, then drain the tank sufficiently to expose the element. Use a water heater element wrench for removal and installation to avoid damaging the tank fitting. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes and manufacturer instructions during service.
