Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100109784 Tube
The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100109784 is a professional-grade diffuser dip tube designed for high-recovery commercial and residential water heating systems. Engineered with a durable polypropylene (PP) construction, this component facilitates the precise delivery of cold inlet water to the bottom of the tank, preventing thermal stratification and ensuring maximum burner efficiency. Measuring 31.44 inches in length with a standard 1 NPT connection, the 100109784 is a critical water heater replacement part for the GPS-75 and GPS-75L series, as well as various State Select high-output models. The integrated diffuser head reduces turbulence during high-draw cycles, protecting the internal tank lining and optimizing the energy factor of the unit. As a genuine OEM HVAC part, it provides exact fitment and reliable performance in demanding hydronic and potable water applications, making it the preferred choice for mechanical contractors performing routine maintenance or system restoration.
Key Benefits:- Optimized Thermal Layering: Directs cold water to the heat source to maintain consistent outlet temperatures.
- Corrosion-Resistant Polymer: High-grade polypropylene construction resists mineral buildup and high-temperature degradation.
- Anti-Turbulence Diffuser: Specially designed head limits water agitation, reducing sediment stir-up within the tank.
- Broad Compatibility: Direct replacement for AO Smith 9004314005 and compatible with Lochinvar and State Select gas water heaters.
What are the signs of a failing water heater dip tube?
Contractors typically identify a cracked or disintegrated dip tube when a client reports a sudden decrease in hot water volume or finds small white plastic bits clogging faucet aerators. Replacing the 100109784 tube restores the proper cold-water path to the bottom of the tank.
Will this dip tube fit 75-gallon high-output models?
Yes, this 31.44-inch dip tube is specifically engineered for high-capacity 75-gallon units, including the AO Smith GPS-75 series, where standard residential tubes may be too short or lack the necessary 1-inch NPT threading.
Can I trim this tube if the length is slightly long for my application?
While the 100109784 is an exact-fit OEM part, it can be field-trimmed by a technician if necessary; however, maintaining the integrated diffuser's integrity is critical for preventing turbulence and ensuring peak performance.
