Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100109597 Bracket
The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100109597 Bracket is a critical OEM replacement part designed specifically for securing the water heater thermostat against the tank for precise thermal conductivity. As a veteran technician knows, the integrity of the thermostat mounting bracket determines the accuracy of temperature sensing; if the thermostat is not held flush against the vessel, it risks delayed response times or high-limit (ECO) trips. This genuine factory part provides the exact tension and alignment required for residential electric water heating systems, preventing the common "floating thermostat" issue often found with worn-out or universal clips.
Constructed for high-duty cycles, the 100109597 bracket kit is compatible with a wide range of Lochinvar and A.O. Smith models. It serves as the primary structural support for both upper and lower thermostats, ensuring the electrical contacts and sensing bulbs remain in a fixed, safe position. Whether you are performing a routine heating element service or a full HVAC maintenance overhaul, utilizing this specific bracket eliminates the need for field-modified grounding or unsafe prying during installation. Its lightweight yet rigid design is optimized for residential plumbing applications, providing a precise fit for professional HVAC repair and water heater system restoration.
Key Benefits:
- Precision Thermal Sensing: Ensures the thermostat remains flush against the tank for accurate water temperature monitoring.
- Direct OEM Compatibility: Verified fit for Lochinvar and A.O. Smith units, replacing part numbers 100109597 and LO-100109597-nu.
- Enhanced Safety: Maintains the correct position for integrated grounding tabs and high-limit reset buttons.
- Contractor-Grade Durability: Engineered to withstand high-temperature environments without losing tension or structural integrity.
- Simplified Installation: Designed for a snap-fit application, reducing time on-site during hot water heater repair.
Common Questions:
Can I reuse the old bracket when replacing an electric thermostat?
While it is physically possible, old brackets often lose their spring tension or become corroded. To ensure the new water heater thermostat accurately senses tank temperature, installing a fresh 100109597 mounting bracket is highly recommended.
Does this bracket include the ground screw connection?
Yes, this bracket is designed to accommodate standard ground screw tabs, ensuring the water heater shell remains properly bonded for electrical safety.
Will this work for both the upper and lower thermostats?
This thermostat mounting bracket is compatible with the standard footprints found on both upper and lower thermostat locations in most dual-element electric water heaters.
