Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100110746 Anode
The Lochinvar and A.O. Smith 100110746 magnesium anode rod is a critical sacrificial component engineered for high-recovery commercial water heaters and large-volume storage tanks. Featuring a 1.315-inch diameter and a 35-inch length, this heavy-duty anode provides the necessary electrochemical protection to prevent tank glass lining degradation and corrosive pitting. As a magnesium alloy rod, it offers a higher driving voltage compared to aluminum, making it the standard choice for softening systems or environments with moderate water conductivity. The NPT threaded connection ensures a secure, leak-proof fit into the tank's dedicated anode port. For technicians performing preventative maintenance on Lochinvar Shield or A.O. Smith Master-Fit series, replacing this sacrificial anode is essential to maintaining vessel integrity and preventing premature tank failure. This OEM replacement ensures precise fitment and material compatibility, maintaining the original engineering specifications of the pressurized system.
Key Benefits
- High-Diameter Magnesium Construction: Provides a larger surface area for superior cathodic protection in aggressive water conditions.
- OEM Compatibility: Exact replacement for Lochinvar and A.O. Smith 100110746 part numbers, ensuring thread alignment and depth clearance.
- Corrosion Mitigation: Acts as the primary defense against electrolysis, extending the service life of the internal steel tank.
- Industry Standard Sizing: The 35-inch length is optimized for vertical clearances in commercial mechanical rooms.
Common Questions
How often should a 1.315" diameter anode be inspected?
In commercial applications, check the 100110746 anode annually. If the core wire is visible or the diameter has eroded by more than 50%, immediate replacement is required to maintain tank protection.
Is magnesium preferred over aluminum for this model?
Yes, magnesium anodes offer better protection in most potable water profiles due to their higher electrochemical potential, though they may react more quickly in softened water.
Will this fit other commercial water heater brands?
While designed for A.O. Smith and Lochinvar, this part may fit other tanks requiring a 1.315" diameter magnesium rod, provided the tank depth and tapping size match.
