Ao Smith 100108330 Heating Element Kit 5500W 240V

Product Description

The AO SMITH 100108330 is a replacement heating element kit designed for electric water heaters. Operating at 5500 watts and 240 volts, this copper-construction element provides the resistive heat needed to bring tank water up to set temperature. The 13.125-inch element length is a common screw-in sizing used across a wide range of residential electric storage-tank water heaters. Licensed plumbers and water heater service technicians install this as a direct replacement when an element fails due to burnout, scale buildup, or corrosion. The kit format typically includes the element and any required gasket or sealing hardware.

This heating element is suited for residential electric water heater service applications. It is a screw-in style element, appropriate for standard storage-tank water heater installations where the existing element measures 13.125 inches in length and the circuit is rated for 240-volt, single-phase power. The 5500-watt rating is among the most common found in residential 40- and 50-gallon electric tank units.
