Ao Smith 100108967 Screw-in Water Heater Element 240V 5500W

Product Description

The AO SMITH 100108967 is a screw-in replacement water heater element designed for residential and light commercial electric water heater service. Rated at 240 volts and 5500 watts, this element features a Corrogard zinc-plated copper construction that resists corrosion in demanding water conditions. At 10.75 inches in length, the element is sized for standard mid-line screw-in installations. A gasket is included to support a proper seal at the tank port. Licensed plumbers and water heater service technicians are the typical installers for this type of component.

This element is suited for residential electric water heaters and light commercial applications where a screw-in mounting configuration is required. The zinc-plated copper construction and low practical watt density for its size are intended to extend service life in systems subject to corrosive water conditions. Installers should verify that the tank port threading and element flange dimensions match before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified water heater service technician in accordance with local plumbing codes. Always disconnect electrical power to the water heater at the breaker panel and shut off the cold water supply before servicing the element. Drain the tank to below the element port level before removal to prevent flooding. Do not energize the element unless it is fully submerged in water, as dry firing will damage the element immediately.
