A.o. Smith 100108977 Screw-in Element 6000W 480V 13.125 in

Product Description

The A.O. SMITH 100108977 is a Corrogard zinc-plated copper screw-in water heater element rated at 6000 watts and 480 volts, designed for residential and light commercial electric water heater service. At 13.125 inches in length, this mid-line element is engineered with a low watt density relative to its size, which reduces scale buildup and extends operational life. The zinc-plated copper construction provides corrosion protection in environments where water chemistry or mineral content accelerates element degradation. A gasket is included for a complete, leak-ready installation. HVAC and plumbing technicians install this element as a direct replacement in compatible electric storage water heaters.

This element is suited for residential and light commercial electric water heater applications requiring a 480-volt, 6000-watt screw-in configuration. The Corrogard series targets installations where standard copper elements have shown reduced service life due to corrosive water conditions. The screw-in mounting style is the most common element connection type found in residential tank-style electric water heaters, making this a practical replacement option for service technicians working in field conditions.

Key Features

• 6000-watt output at 480 volts for high-voltage residential and light commercial water heater circuits
• Corrogard zinc-plated copper construction for improved corrosion resistance over standard copper elements
• Low watt density design reduces scale accumulation and extends element service life
• Screw-in configuration for straightforward field replacement without specialized tooling
• Includes gasket for a complete, seal-ready installation out of the box
• Rated for both residential and light commercial water heater service

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style screw-in replacement element for residential and light commercial electric storage water heaters requiring a 480-volt, 6000-watt element at 13.125 inches in length.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician. Shut off electrical power at the breaker panel and close the cold water supply valve before removing the existing element. A standard element wrench is required for removal and installation of screw-in type elements. Verify that the tank is fully filled with water before restoring power to prevent dry-fire damage to the new element.
