Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100208664 Kit
The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100208664 Kit is a field-proven magnesium sacrificial anode rod designed specifically for commercial and high-capacity residential water heating systems. Measuring 3/4" x 51.5", this OEM component is critical for boiler tank corrosion protection by diverting the chemical reactions that cause heater oxidation and premature failure. Industry professionals rely on the magnesium material for its higher electrochemical potential, making it the preferred choice for water heater maintenance in areas with standard or soft water profiles. This replacement anode rod features a 3/4" NPT connection to ensure a secure, leak-free seal within the dedicated anode port of Lochinvar RJS120 models and compatible A.O. Smith units. Regular inspection and replacement of this rod are essential for preventing pinhole leaks and maintaining the integrity of the porcelain enamel lining, effectively extending the operational life of the hot water service system in demanding environments.
Key Benefits:
- OEM Precision: Genuine Lochinvar 100208664 replacement ensures 100% compatibility and factory-standard performance.
- Superior Protection: High-grade magnesium construction provides maximum sacrificial current to attract corrosive elements away from the steel tank.
- Extended Tank Life: Prevents oxidation and sediment buildup, reducing the risk of premature tank rupture.
- Contractor Grade: 3/4" NPT threads allow for straightforward threading into the hot water tank top-port during routine service calls.
- High Capacity: The 51.5-inch length provides extensive surface area coverage for larger vertical storage tanks.
Common Questions:
How do I know if the Lochinvar 100208664 needs replacement?
Technicians should pull the rod during annual service; if more than six inches of the internal steel core wire is visible or the diameter has significantly thinned, replace it immediately to maintain tank protection.
Can I use this magnesium rod with a water softener?
Yes, though be aware that softened water increases conductivity, which can deplete a magnesium anode faster than in non-softened water. Monitor the rod frequently in these applications.
Will this fit models other than the RJS120?
While cross-referenced for several A.O. Smith and Lochinvar configurations, always verify the clearance height in the mechanical room, as a 51.5-inch straight rod requires significant vertical space for installation.
