Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100108977 Heating Element
Ensuring your commercial or residential water heater maintains peak thermal efficiency requires high-quality components like the Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100108977 Heating Element. This 480v 6000w heating element is engineered with a ultra-durable zinc-plated copper sheath, specifically designed to inhibit scale buildup and resist the corrosive effects of hard water. Measuring 13.125 inches in length, this screw-in heating element features a standard 1-inch NPSM thread pattern, making it a reliable OEM replacement part for a wide range of A.O. Smith and Lochinvar electric water heaters. The low watt density design prevents localized overheating of the element surface, significantly extending the service life of the component in demanding HVACR environments. Whether you are performing a routine water heater element replacement or addressing a complete loss of hot water, this copper heating element provides the exact electrical specifications required to maintain system balance and safety compliance.
Key Benefits:
- Corrogard Zinc-Plating: Provides a robust protective barrier against oxidation and electrolysis, prolonging the life of the copper heating element.
- Precise 6000W Output: Delivers consistent 480V thermal energy to handle high-demand recovery cycles in commercial applications.
- Universal Screw-In Design: Fits most standard 1-inch NPSM ports; includes its own element gasket to ensure a leak-proof seal upon installation.
- Low Watt Density: Minimizes sediment accumulation on the element, reducing the risk of "dry-firing" and burnout in A.O. Smith units.
Common Questions:
Does this element include the mounting gasket?
Yes, all Lochinvar 100108977 elements ship with a high-temperature rubber gasket to ensure a secure, watertight connection to the tank flange.
Can I use this 480V element in a 240V system?
No. Operating a 480v 6000w heating element at 240V will result in a significant drop in wattage output (approximately 1500W), which will not meet the recovery requirements of the water heater.
What tool is required for installation?
Technicians should use a standard 1-1/2 inch water heater element socket or a specialized element wrench to seat the threads properly and prevent rounding the hexagonal head.
