A.o. Smith 100109190 3-element Conversion Kit 4000W 480V

Product Description

The A.O. SMITH 100109190 is a three-element conversion kit designed to upgrade or convert electric water heater configurations to a three-element setup operating at 4000 watts and 480 volts. Manufactured under the Apcom component line, this kit provides the hardware necessary to complete a multi-element conversion in commercial or industrial water heating applications. It is installed by licensed plumbers or water heater service technicians working on high-voltage electric storage water heaters where three-element performance is required.

This conversion kit is suited for electric water heater installations where a three-element, 480-volt configuration is specified. The 480-volt rating makes it applicable primarily to commercial or light-industrial settings where higher-voltage electrical service is available. Technicians use this kit during new installations or when retrofitting an existing water heater to meet higher demand loads. It is paired with compatible Apcom components and appropriate wiring rated for 480-volt service.

Key Features

• Three-element configuration for increased water heating capacity
• Rated at 4000 watts per element at 480 volts
• Designed for high-voltage commercial and industrial water heater applications
• Apcom component specification ensures consistent fit and performance
• Complete conversion kit format simplifies the upgrade process

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style conversion kit for electric storage water heaters requiring a three-element, 480-volt configuration compatible with Apcom heating components.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified plumber familiar with high-voltage water heater systems. Shut off power at the breaker panel and verify the circuit is de-energized before beginning any work. Wiring must comply with applicable NEC requirements for 480-volt circuits, including proper conductor sizing and overcurrent protection. Do not energize elements unless the tank is fully filled with water.
