Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100232745 Anode
The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100232745 Anode Rod is a critical sacrificial magnesium anode designed specifically for heavy-duty commercial water heating systems. Measuring 1" NPT x 36", this OEM component provides essential cathodic protection for the glass-lined steel tanks found in Lochinvar CHH and CHV Custom Hi-Power series, as well as various A.O. Smith industrial models. Integrating a high-purity magnesium alloy, the 100232745 is the reactive standard for neutralizing corrosive elements in soft to moderately hard water, preventing electrolytic decay of the tank’s interior surface.
For service technicians, this replacement water heater anode rod ensures compatibility with commercial electric units ranging from 400 to 1,000 gallons, including A.O. Smith 100232745 and legacy parts WTR2501 or 100173720. Regular inspection and replacement of this 36-inch anode rod are necessary to maintain tank integrity. This 1-inch NPT hex head fitting allows for straightforward extraction and installation during routine preventative maintenance, safeguarding high-capacity HVACR equipment against premature failure caused by oxidation and mineral pitting.
Key Benefits:- OEM Compatibility: Exact 1" NPT threaded fit for Lochinvar & A.O. Smith water heaters, ensuring a reliable seal and factory-spec performance.
- High-Reactivity Magnesium: Provides superior electrochemical protection compared to aluminum, ideal for extending the service life of commercial hot water tanks.
- Commercial Grade Build: Heavy-duty 36-inch length provides ample surface area for effective ion exchange in large-volume applications.
- Corrosion Mitigation: Acts as a sacrificial rod to attract corrosive minerals, specifically engineered to protect the tank’s internal lining from pitting.
- How often should a 100232745 anode rod be inspected? In commercial environments, technicians should inspect the rod every 12 to 24 months, or more frequently in aggressive water conditions.
- Is magnesium better than aluminum for this model? Magnesium typically offers higher voltage output and better protection in most water profiles, though it may deplete faster than aluminum in extremely hard water.
- Will this fit residential 3/4" ports? No, the Lochinvar 100232745 features a 1-inch NPT connection, which is standard for commercial-scale tanks rather than residential units.
