Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100110060 Heating Element
The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100110060 Heating Element is a heavy-duty, 240V 4000W Sandhog replacement designed for demanding residential and light commercial water heating applications. Built with high-grade Incoloy nickel-alloy sheathing, this low watt density heating element is engineered to resist sediment build-up and withstand "dry fire" conditions better than standard copper alternatives. The 10.7-inch screw-in element features a 1-inch NPSM connection, ensuring a precise fit for compatible A.O. Smith and Lochinvar electric water heaters. When performing a water heater element replacement, this OEM component provides the thermal efficiency and structural integrity required to maintain system performance. Its specific Sandhog design allows for operation in harsh water conditions, effectively translating electrical power into consistent heat output while minimizing the risk of burnout caused by mineral accumulation at the bottom of the tank. Always ensure the tank is fully submerged before restoring power to prevent dry fire damage.
Key Benefits- Incoloy Nickel Sheathing: Provides superior resistance to corrosion and high-temperature scaling compared to standard elements.
- Sandhog Performance: Enhanced durability against mineral deposits, extending the service life of the 4000 watt heating element in hard water areas.
- Low Watt Density: Operates at a lower surface temperature to reduce lime and sediment accumulation on the sheath.
- OEM Compatibility: Specifically designed for A.O. Smith and Lochinvar units, ensuring seamless screw-in installation.
- Includes Gasket: Ships with the required sealing gasket to prevent leaks at the 1" NPSM connection point.
Can I use this 4000W element if my current heater uses 4500W?
Lowering wattage is generally safe but will result in a slower recovery rate. However, you must never exceed the maximum wattage rating specified on your water heater's data plate or bypass the wiring capacity.
Is this element compatible with all screw-in water heaters?
While the 1" NPSM thread is a standard size, this 100110060 element has a specific 10.7-inch length and 240V requirement. Verify your tank's clearance and electrical specifications before installation.
What causes a heating element to burn out immediately?
Dry firing is the most common cause. If power is applied before the tank is completely filled with water and all air is bled from the lines, the element will overheat and fail within seconds.
