Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100208549 Inlet Water Sensor

An integral component of some Lochinvar and A.O. Smith water heaters is the 100208549 Inlet Water Sensor. Normally, the cold water inlet pipe of the water heater houses this low-profile sensor. Its measurements are only 0.65 inches in height, 3 inches in width, and 6.95 inches in length. The sensor uses an internal mechanism to detect water flow. When the sensor senses water flow, it notifies the water heater's control board. This signal is required by the control board, among other things, to initiate the temperature control and ignite the burner. Additionally, certain versions may employ the sensor to identify low water flow circumstances, which could lead to overheating and other safety hazards. Specifically engineered for 120V systems, the Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100208549 Inlet Water Sensor provides accurate water flow data to the control board, guaranteeing the water heater operates safely and efficiently.
