Product Description
The AO SMITH 100110124 is a flanged Incoloy heating element designed for commercial electric water heaters. It operates at 480/277 volts with an 18 KW output and features Incoloy nickel-alloy sheathing rated for medium watt density applications. The element mounts via a round or square flange with a 2.5-inch bolt circle and includes a gasket for installation. Forged steel flanges provide structural strength under repeated thermal cycling. This element is a direct replacement part installed by licensed commercial plumbers or HVAC service technicians working on large-capacity water heating equipment.
This element is intended for commercial water heater applications where high-voltage, high-wattage output is required. It is compatible with AO SMITH DSE, CMC, SU, and DVE/DHE series commercial water heaters. The Incoloy sheathing resists scale buildup and corrosion in demanding water conditions, making it well suited for commercial facilities with continuous hot water demand. The included gasket simplifies the replacement process and helps ensure a leak-free flange seal on initial installation.

Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician. Shut off all electrical power to the water heater at the breaker panel and relieve tank pressure before removing the existing element. Verify that the replacement voltage and kilowatt rating match the unit nameplate before energizing. High-voltage commercial equipment must be wired in accordance with applicable NEC requirements and local codes.
