Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100173793 Arm Assembly
The Lochinvar & A.O. Smith 100173793 Arm Assembly is a critical OEM replacement part engineered for high-efficiency commercial boilers and heating systems. As a veteran-grade gas/air arm assembly, this component ensures the precise mechanical alignment necessary for optimal combustion and fluid regulation. Specifically designed for compatibility with Lochinvar Knight series models (including KBN, AWN, and SNA 500), this assembly facilitates the correct mixture of air and fuel to maintain peak thermal efficiency. Technicians frequently utilize the 100173793 to replace the obsolete WTR3079, restoring factory-spec performance to hydronic heating systems. Constructed with industrial-grade materials to withstand the rigorous cycling of modern condensing boilers, it acts as a primary mounting and support structure for the blower and burner interface. Ensuring a leak-free seal and exact spatial orientation, this genuine Lochinvar part helps prevent premature wear on downstream components and stabilizes the operational integrity of A.O. Smith water heaters and boiler units.
