Ao Smith 100111023 Electronic Anode Long

Product Description

The AO SMITH 100111023 is a long-style electronic anode rod designed for use in residential and light commercial water heaters. Unlike traditional magnesium or aluminum sacrificial anodes, an electronic anode uses impressed current to inhibit tank corrosion without depleting over time. This unit is rated for high-efficiency performance, making it a suitable upgrade or replacement in systems where conventional anode rods require frequent inspection and replacement. Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers or water heater service technicians during routine maintenance or water heater servicing.

The 100111023 is configured in a long form factor, making it appropriate for tall or standard upright tank-style water heaters where a full-length anode port is present. It is used in residential water heating applications and may also suit light commercial tank installations. The electronic design eliminates the sulfur odor commonly associated with magnesium anode rods reacting with certain water supplies, which is a frequent driver for this type of upgrade in problem-water environments.

Key Features

• Long-style form factor sized for full-depth anode ports in upright tank water heaters
• Electronic impressed-current design does not deplete like sacrificial metal anodes
• High-efficiency corrosion inhibition rating
• Reduces sulfur odor associated with magnesium anode and sulfate-reducing bacteria reactions
• No periodic material replacement required once installed

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style electronic anode replacement for AO SMITH tank-style water heaters equipped with a standard long anode port. Confirm thread size and port depth against the existing heater specifications before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified water heater technician. Shut off the cold water supply and disconnect power or close the gas supply valve before servicing the anode port. A socket wrench with the correct hex drive is typically required to remove the existing anode rod. Follow all applicable local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidelines when connecting the electronic anode power leads.
