Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100233601 Gasket
The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100233601 Head Gasket is a critical OEM replacement part engineered for high-recovery water heaters and commercial boilers. As a direct replacement for the obsolete GKT2001, this component is essential for maintaining the pressure boundary between the cylinder head and the block. It is designed to withstand the thermal cycling and high combustion pressures typical of Lochinvar heating systems, ensuring a gas-tight seal that prevents coolant seepage and combustion gas leakage. For technicians performing HVAC burner maintenance or a full boiler heat exchanger repair, utilizing this genuine gasket is mandatory to ensure the unit meets original manufacturer efficiency ratings and prevents costly callbacks due to seal failure.
Key Benefits for the Contractor- Ensures a precise fit for Lochinvar and A.O. Smith boiler models, eliminating the need for field modifications.
- High-grade sealing material provides superior resistance to extreme temperatures and chemical degradation from treated system water.
- Critical for maintaining proper combustion chamber pressure and preventing efficiency-robbing leaks.
- Lightweight yet durable construction at approximately 0.37 lbs, facilitating easy handling during complex manifold or head assemblies.
What is the torque sequence for this head gasket?
Always follow the specific manufacturer’s service manual for the boiler model being serviced. Typically, you should use a star or cross-pattern sequence to ensure even compression across the entire sealing surface.
Can I use a liquid sealant or "copper coat" with this part?
No. This 100233601 gasket is designed to be installed dry. Applying secondary sealants can interfere with the material's ability to compress properly and may lead to premature failure of the seal.
Is this compatible with older GKT2001 part numbers?
Yes, the 100233601 is the officially designated technical replacement part for the now-obsolete GKT2001, providing updated material specifications for modern HVAC applications.
