A.o. Smith 100109629 Screw-in Element 3500W 240V 10 Inches

Product Description

The A.O. SMITH 100109629 is a high-watt density screw-in heating element designed for electric water heaters in residential and light commercial applications. Rated at 3500 watts and 240 volts, it delivers reliable heat transfer within the tank. The element measures 10 inches in length and features a zinc-plated finish for corrosion protection. A replacement gasket is included, making it a complete service kit for a standard element swap. Licensed plumbers and HVAC service technicians handle this type of replacement as part of routine water heater maintenance or failure diagnosis.

This element is suited for residential electric storage water heaters and light commercial units that call for a standard screw-in element configuration. The high-watt density design concentrates heat output through the element surface, which is appropriate for most standard tank installations. The included gasket eliminates the need to source a separate seal before beginning the repair, reducing parts run time on service calls.
