Ao Smith 100109504 Conversion Kit 2 Element 4500W 208V

Product Description

The AO SMITH 100109504 is a conversion kit designed for PCE and PCV series electric water heaters equipped with a 2-element configuration. This kit enables field conversion of compatible water heaters to operate at 4500 watts and 208 volts, making it suitable for commercial or multi-unit residential installations where 208-volt electrical service is standard. Installation is performed by licensed electricians or plumbing professionals familiar with electric water heater service. The kit provides the necessary components to complete the voltage and wattage conversion at the point of installation.

This conversion kit applies to PCE and PCV series AO SMITH electric water heaters in applications where the available electrical supply is 208 volts rather than the standard 240-volt residential service. Typical install scenarios include apartment buildings, light commercial facilities, and multi-family housing where 208-volt three-phase or single-phase service is distributed. The 2-element, 4500-watt configuration is a common setup in storage-tank water heaters serving these environments.
