Ao Smith 100187876 Gas Valve Assembly Kit Natural Lp

Product Description

The AO SMITH 100187876 is a gas valve assembly kit designed for use with both natural gas and liquid propane (LP) fuel systems. This kit provides the valve and associated components needed to control gas flow to the burner in a water heater or similar gas-fired appliance. Licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians typically install or replace this assembly during routine service or when a faulty valve causes ignition failure, inconsistent water temperature, or gas shutoff issues. The dual-fuel compatibility makes it a practical replacement option across a range of installations.

This assembly kit is suited for residential and light commercial gas-fired water heater applications where a direct OEM-style valve replacement is required. The kit format means all necessary components for a complete valve swap are included, reducing trips to the supply house and simplifying the service call. It is appropriate for installations using either natural gas or LP supply lines.
