Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100108467 Anode
The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100108467 is a heavy-duty magnesium sacrificial anode rod designed for high-capacity water heaters and boilers. Measuring 1.050" in diameter and 39.75" in length, this component is critical for preventing tank corrosion through electrolysis. By prioritizing the oxidation of the magnesium over the steel tank shell, it drastically extends the service life of commercial water heating systems. This specific rod is a direct replacement for various Lochinvar Knight and A.O. Smith Cyclone models, ensuring precise fitment and optimal cathodic protection. When performing a water heater maintenance cycle, checking the depletion levels of the 100108467 anode is essential for preventing premature tank failure. As a technician, ensuring you use the correct Lochinvar replacement parts maintains the structural integrity of the pressure vessel and prevents the buildup of hydrogen gas or sediment associated with secondary reactions in aggressive water conditions.
Key Benefits
- Enhanced Cathodic Protection: High-grade magnesium construction provides superior protection against galvanic corrosion in hard water environments.
- OEM Compatibility: Exact replacement for A.O. Smith 100108467, ensuring thread integrity and proper depth for commercial-grade tanks.
- Extended Tank Life: Designed to neutralize corrosive elements, preventing pinhole leaks and structural degradation of the storage tank.
- Durable 1.050" Diameter: Provides a greater surface area for chemical reaction compared to standard residential rods, ideal for heavy-duty HVACR applications.
Common Questions
When should the 100108467 anode rod be replaced?
Standard service protocols require inspection every 12 to 24 months. If the rod has depleted to less than 50% of its original 1.050" diameter, a replacement is necessary to maintain tank protection.
Is magnesium preferred over aluminum for this application?
For most potable water systems, magnesium anodes are the industry standard due to their higher electrochemical potential, though specific water chemistry should always be considered.
Will this rod fit all A.O. Smith commercial units?
While it fits many A.O. Smith and Lochinvar models, compatibility is based on the tank height and thread size. Always verify the 39.75" clearance before installation.
