Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100327112 Anode Rod
The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100327112 Anode Rod is a critical preventative maintenance component designed for high-performance residential and commercial water heating systems. Engineered with a 3/4" NPT nipple connection, this magnesium sacrificial anode provides superior cathodic protection by attracting corrosive elements in the water supply, effectively neutralizing them before they can attack the steel tank liner. As a veteran-grade OEM replacement part, it ensures tight tolerance fitment and maintains the structural integrity of the heat exchanger assembly. This specific anode rod with nipple is optimized for hot water tank corrosion protection, replacing legacy part numbers like 100173538. For contractors, installing this A.O. Smith water heater part during routine service helps prevent premature tank failure and sedimental buildup, ensuring the system operates at peak thermal efficiency. Its durable brass nipple construction provides a secure, leak-proof seal under high-pressure conditions common in hydronic and domestic water heating applications.
Key Benefits- Cathodic Protection: Utilizes high-grade magnesium to sacrificially corrode, extending the service life of the water heater tank.
- Precision Fit: Features a standard 3/4-inch NPT nipple for seamless integration into Lochinvar and A.O. Smith units.
- OEM Performance: Exact 100327112 specification ensures compatibility and maintains original equipment standards.
- Tank Longevity: Prevents oxidation and pitting of the internal glass lining, reducing the frequency of emergency tank replacements.
When should this anode rod be inspected?
Technicians recommend inspecting the 100327112 every 12 to 24 months, depending on local water hardness and acidity. If more than 50% of the magnesium is depleted, the rod should be replaced to maintain protection.
Is this compatible with aluminum anode applications?
This magnesium rod is the preferred standard for standard water conditions due to its higher driving voltage; however, always verify the specific model requirements if the site has high sulfur content (rotten egg odor).
Does this part replace older Lochinvar 100173538 units?
Yes, the 100327112 is the direct technical successor to the legacy 100173538 part number, offering the same 3/4" nipple configuration and protection profile.
