Product Description

The AO SMITH 100110052 is a copper, high-watt density screw-in replacement element designed for electric water heaters in residential and light commercial applications. Rated at 1500 watts and 120 volts, it delivers reliable heating performance in standard tank-style water heater configurations. The element measures 6.5 inches in length and features a zinc-plated construction for corrosion protection. A gasket is included, allowing for a complete installation without sourcing additional hardware. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians typically handle element replacement as part of routine water heater service or troubleshooting for insufficient hot water output.

This element is suited for residential electric water heaters and light commercial units that accept a standard screw-in element configuration at 120 volts. It is appropriate for systems where a high-watt density element is specified. The included gasket makes it a direct drop-in replacement during service calls or planned maintenance. Installers should verify tank voltage, wattage rating, and thread size before installation to confirm proper fitment.
