Ao Smith 100109628 Screw-in Element 120V 2000W 10 Inches

Product Description

The AO SMITH 100109628 is a zinc-plated copper screw-in water heater element rated at 120 volts and 2000 watts, measuring 10 inches in length. Designed under the Corrogard line, it features a low watt density profile that reduces mineral scale buildup on the element surface, extending service life in residential and light commercial water heaters. The zinc plating adds a layer of corrosion protection suited to both hard and moderately aggressive water conditions. A replacement gasket is included, allowing a complete seal on installation. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians install this element as a direct screw-in replacement during routine maintenance or after element failure diagnosis.

This element is suited for residential tank-style water heaters and light commercial water heater applications operating on 120-volt circuits. The 2000-watt output and 10-inch length make it appropriate for single-element or lower-watt configurations where lower watt density is specified. Its screw-in design fits standard element port openings common across many storage-tank water heater models. Always verify the voltage, wattage, length, and thread type against the existing element and water heater nameplate before installation.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style screw-in replacement element for residential and light commercial tank-style water heaters requiring a 120-volt, 2000-watt, 10-inch element. Verify thread size, voltage, wattage, and element length against the unit nameplate before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician in accordance with local plumbing codes and the water heater manufacturer guidelines. 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 port. Use an element wrench for removal and installation to avoid damaging the port threads. Inspect the gasket seat for debris or corrosion before seating the included gasket and installing the new element.
