Ao Smith 100093711 Gasket Kit Polaris Water Heater

Product Description

The AO SMITH 100093711 is a gasket kit designed for Polaris new-style water heaters. Gasket kits provide the sealing components needed to maintain leak-free connections at key service points within the water heater assembly. This replacement kit is used during routine maintenance or repairs when original gaskets show wear, compression failure, or signs of leakage. Licensed plumbers and water heater service technicians typically install this part when servicing Polaris units that require re-sealing at access panels, heat exchanger flanges, or similar connection points.

This gasket kit is intended for use with AO Smith Polaris new-style water heaters. The Polaris is a high-efficiency, direct-vent gas water heater commonly installed in residential and light commercial applications. This kit applies to the updated new-style Polaris platform, which uses revised component geometry compared to earlier Polaris models. Installers should confirm the new-style designation matches their unit before ordering.
