Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100284286 Condensate Trap Assembly
The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100284286 Condensate Trap Assembly is a critical OEM component engineered for high-efficiency NKB and WH series water heaters and boilers. As a veteran technician knows, maintaining the integrity of the condensate management system is paramount to preventing acidic byproduct buildup that can lead to heat exchanger corrosion. This genuine condensate trap is designed to capture and safely dispose of water vapor formed during the combustion process, ensuring the unit stays clear of internal blockage. Whether you are servicing a Lochinvar Knight WHN or a residential A.O. Smith condensing unit, this factory-specified assembly provides the exact fit and 1-inch connection required for optimal drainage. Its robust, corrosion-resistant body features an internal float mechanism to prevent flue gas leakage while facilitating a continuous flow of condensate to the external drain tile or neutralizer kit. Prioritize this OEM replacement part to maintain system vacuum pressure and avoid common "no-fire" errors caused by blocked drain lines.
Key Benefit List
- Direct OEM Compatibility: Verified for use with Lochinvar KHB, WHB, WHL, WHN, and NKB series boilers and high-efficiency water heaters.
- Enhanced System Protection: Prevents the backup of acidic condensate into the combustion chamber, protecting expensive heat exchangers from premature failure.
- Safety-First Design: Incorporates a reliable float and vent system to ensure proper traps are maintained, preventing hazardous flue gases from entering the mechanical room through the drain line.
- Durable Construction: Fabricated from high-grade, chemical-resistant PVC and plastics to withstand years of exposure to low-pH condensing environments.
- Easy Maintenance: Features a simplified condensate trap assembly layout for faster annual inspections and cleaning of debris or sediment.
Common Questions
How do I know if my Lochinvar WH series trap needs replacement?
If you notice water pooling at the base of the cabinet, frequent ignition failures (Error Code 16 or 504), or visible sediment buildup that cannot be flushed from the float chamber, the 100284286 assembly should be replaced to restore proper drainage.
Is the float ball included in this assembly?
Yes, this is a complete condensate trap assembly which includes the main body and the internal float ball required to seal the system against flue gas emission during operation.
Can this trap be used on other high-efficiency condensing brands?
While many condensing traps look similar, this specific Lochinvar and A.O. Smith part is engineered for the internal pressure and connection sizes of the NKB and WH series. Always verify your specific model number before installation.
