A.o. Smith 100338897 Flame Rod Gasket

Product Description

The A.O. SMITH 100338897 is a flame rod gasket designed to seal the flame rod assembly in water heater combustion systems. The flame rod is a critical sensing component that confirms burner ignition and signals the control system to maintain or interrupt gas flow. This gasket maintains the integrity of that assembly by preventing combustion gas leaks at the rod penetration point. It is a direct replacement component installed by licensed plumbers, HVAC technicians, and water heater service professionals during routine maintenance or after gasket failure.

This gasket is suited for residential and light commercial water heater applications where the flame rod assembly requires resealing. It is typically installed during burner service calls or when evidence of combustion gas leakage is found around the flame rod penetration. Using the correct OEM-specified replacement gasket ensures a proper seal and maintains safe combustion system operation.
