Ao Smith 100108960 Screw-in Element 3000W 120V 10.75in

Product Description

The AO SMITH 100108960 is a Corrogard zinc-plated copper screw-in water heater element rated at 3000 watts and 120 volts. Designed for mid-line residential and light commercial water heater applications, this element threads directly into the tank opening and provides consistent, low-watt-density heating performance. The zinc plating adds a layer of corrosion protection suited to the wet, mineral-laden environment inside a storage water heater tank. A gasket is included for a complete installation without additional hardware. Licensed plumbers and HVAC-plumbing technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This element is intended for residential and light commercial electric storage water heaters where a screw-in style element is specified. The 10.75-inch insertion length and low watt density make it appropriate for standard tank configurations where minimizing scale buildup and extending element life are priorities. It is a direct replacement for failed or degraded screw-in elements in systems operating on 120-volt circuits.

Key Features

• Corrogard zinc-plated copper construction for enhanced corrosion resistance
• Rated 3000 watts at 120 volts for reliable, consistent heating output
• 10.75-inch element length fits standard mid-line screw-in tank openings
• Low watt density design reduces scale accumulation and extends service life
• Gasket included for a complete, ready-to-install replacement
• Suitable for residential and light commercial electric water heater applications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement screw-in element for residential and light commercial electric storage water heaters requiring a 10.75-inch, 3000-watt, 120-volt mid-line screw-in element.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician. Before servicing, shut off electrical power at the breaker and close the cold-water supply valve, then drain sufficient water from the tank to expose the element. Use an element wrench to remove and replace the element, and inspect the gasket seat for scale or damage before seating the new gasket. Restore water fill before restoring power to prevent dry-fire damage to the new element.
