Ao Smith 100109754 Heating Element 240V 6000W

Product Description

The AO SMITH 100109754 is a replacement heating element designed for electric water heaters operating on a 240-volt circuit at 6000 watts. The element converts electrical energy into heat, transferring that energy directly to the water stored in the tank. It is a core component in electric resistance water heater systems and is typically serviced by licensed plumbers or water heater technicians. When an element fails, water temperature drops or the heater stops producing hot water entirely, making this a common and straightforward replacement part in residential and light commercial service work.

This heating element is suited for electric storage tank water heaters where a high-wattage 240-volt element is specified. The Sandhog designation identifies it within the AO SMITH product line and corresponds to specific water heater configurations that call for a 6000-watt element. It is used in both residential and light commercial hot water systems where consistent recovery rates and reliable heat output are required. Plumbing contractors and water heater service technicians are the primary installers.
