A.o. Smith 100109468 Conversion Kit 3000W 277V

Product Description

The A.O. SMITH 100109468 is a conversion kit designed to retrofit PCE and PCV series electric water heaters from a dual-element configuration to a single-element setup. The kit includes the components necessary to complete the conversion at 3000 watts and 277 volts. This type of conversion is common in commercial and light-industrial applications where power supply constraints or load management requirements call for a reduced-element configuration. Licensed plumbers and water heater service technicians are the typical installers.

This conversion kit is engineered for use with A.O. SMITH PCE and PCV series electric water heaters. It is suited for commercial installations where 277-volt single-phase power is available, such as in office buildings, light manufacturing facilities, and multi-tenant properties. The single-element design simplifies the electrical load and can help meet specific power-draw requirements in managed electrical systems.

Key Features

• Converts PCE and PCV series water heaters to a single-element configuration
• Rated at 3000 watts for controlled heat output
• Designed for 277-volt single-phase electrical systems

Compatibility

Designed for use with A.O. SMITH PCE and PCV series electric water heaters requiring a single-element conversion at 3000W and 277V.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or water heater technician familiar with commercial electric water heater service. Shut off power at the breaker and close the cold-water supply valve before beginning any work. Verify that the existing electrical circuit is rated for 277 volts and that the breaker amperage is compatible with the 3000-watt load. Work must comply with applicable local plumbing and electrical codes, including NEC guidelines for water heater installations.
