Ao Smith 100109635 Screw-in Water Heater Element 4500 6000W

Product Description

The AO SMITH 100109635 is a Corrogard zinc-plated copper screw-in heating element designed for electric water heaters in residential and light commercial applications. Rated at 4500W at 208 volts and 6000W at 240 volts, it is sized at 10.75 inches and installs directly into a standard screw-in element port. The zinc plating provides an added layer of corrosion protection over the copper sheath, extending service life in hard water and mineral-heavy environments. A replacement gasket is included, reducing the need for a separate parts order before service. Licensed plumbers and HVAC-R technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This element is suited for residential electric storage water heaters and light commercial tank-style units requiring a 10.75-inch screw-in element. The dual-wattage rating at 208 and 240 volts makes it a practical fit for both residential single-phase service and light commercial electrical configurations. It is particularly appropriate for applications where low watt density is preferred to minimize scale buildup on the element surface and extend operational life between service intervals.

Key Features

• Dual-wattage design: 4500W at 208V and 6000W at 240V
• Corrogard zinc-plated copper construction for enhanced corrosion resistance
• Low watt density design reduces scale accumulation and extends element life
• 10.75-inch screw-in form factor for standard tank element ports
• Replacement gasket included for a complete service installation
• Rated for residential and light commercial water heating systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style screw-in replacement element for residential and light commercial electric storage water heaters requiring a 10.75-inch element at 208 or 240 volts.

Installation Notes

This element is installed by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician. Before replacing an element, shut off electrical power at the breaker and close the cold water supply valve to the tank. Drain sufficient water from the tank to expose the element port before removal. Follow applicable local plumbing codes and NEC requirements for electrical reconnection after installation.
