Ao Smith 100111362 Draft Hood XGV-50 Replacement

Product Description

The AO SMITH 100111362 is a replacement draft hood designed for the XGV-50 water heater. The draft hood connects the flue outlet of a gas water heater to the venting system, allowing combustion gases to exit safely while preventing backdrafting from disrupting the burner. It is a direct replacement component for service technicians and plumbers performing maintenance or restoring damaged venting assemblies on applicable AO SMITH units. Installation requires matching the correct unit to ensure proper fit and safe venting performance.

This draft hood is intended for use in residential water heater applications where the XGV-50 model is installed. It is suited for standard B-vent or natural draft venting configurations typical of gas-fired storage water heaters. Plumbers and water heater service technicians typically encounter this part during appliance servicing, draft hood replacement after physical damage, or unit restoration work.
