Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100112045 Heating Element
Maintain peak performance in Lochinvar and A.O. Smith systems with this premium 100112045 heating element. Engineered for 240V operation, this heavy-duty 4500W component features an 8.125-inch insertion length, making it a reliable choice for standard residential and light commercial water heater service. As a technician, you know the importance of using a screw-in heating element with professional-grade Incoloy or high-quality copper sheathing to resist sediment buildup and withstand high-watt density environments. The 1-inch NPSM threading ensures a secure, leak-free seat during installation, while the 4500-watt output provides the recovery rate necessary for demanding hot water applications. This OEM water heater part is a direct replacement for failed or scaled elements, restoring thermal efficiency and system reliability without the need for field modifications. Whether you are performing a routine tune-up or a critical repair, this element delivers the consistent amperage draw and heat transfer required by original manufacturer specifications.
Key Benefits- Technical Precision: Rated at 4500 watts and 240 volts for optimal heat transfer and recovery speed.
- Universal Compatibility: Designed as a direct fit for numerous Lochinvar and A.O. Smith electric water heater models.
- Rugged Construction: Built to withstand the rigors of high-temperature operation and mineral-heavy water conditions.
- Ease of Service: Standard screw-in design with 1-inch threading allows for straightforward replacement during service calls.
How do I verify if the 100112045 is the correct fit for my tank?
Confirm the voltage and wattage on the water heater's data plate. This element is rated for 240V and 4500W; using a higher wattage element than specified can trip breakers or damage the internal wiring.
Does this element include the necessary sealing gasket?
Yes, this professional-grade element typically comes with the required rubber gasket to ensure a watertight seal upon installation. Always clean the tank threads before threading in the new component.
What are the signs that a heating element has failed?
Common indicators include a total loss of hot water, a significant drop in recovery time, or a tripped high-limit switch. Use a multimeter to check for continuity across the terminals; a lack of continuity indicates an open circuit and a failed element.
