American Water Heater.. Obsolete, not parts available!
Have a 10 year old two pipe direct power vented water heater, Mod PDVG62-50T-62NV. Was going to do a scheduled 5 year maintenance on this guy. Knew I needed a new flue baffle based on the view from burner end. Also wanted to buy a spare pressure switch for "just in case" on a 10 yer old unit.
Imagine my surprise when the folks at what is now AO Smith (bought out American) told me all that was available to buy was the ANODE rod!https://hvac-talk.com/vbb/images/smilies/gah.gif
I am feeling orphaned at the moment and these guys are NOT cheap to replace..
SO; my question to y'all is if you have or know of a source for obsolete, NOS parts? Baffle is 100036292, pressure switch is 100077916
Thanks!!
