The dip tube directs incoming cold water to the bottom of the tank, improving heating efficiency by keeping cold supply water away from the hot water outlet at the top. This kit measures 40.75 inches in length with a 3\/4 inch NPT connection and a 4 inch fitting dimension, making it a direct-fit replacement component. Installation is typically performed by licensed plumbers during water heater service or repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis dip tube kit is suited for HT2-series water heater applications. It is used when the original dip tube has failed, broken, or degraded — a common service issue in older tank-style water heaters. The PEX construction provides resistance to the high-temperature, high-pressure environment inside a water heater tank. Replacing a failed dip tube restores proper tank stratification and hot water delivery performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePEX construction resists high-temperature water heater tank conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/4 inch NPT connection fits standard cold water inlet ports\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e40.75 inch length suited for HT2-series tank configurations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4 inch fitting dimension for proper inlet seating\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRestores correct cold water distribution within the tank\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement dip tube kit for HT2-series AO SMITH residential tank water heaters with a 3\/4 inch NPT cold water inlet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed plumber. Before servicing, shut off the cold water supply and disconnect power or turn off gas to the water heater to prevent injury. Drain the tank as needed to relieve pressure before removing the old dip tube.
