Description

No more rusty element bases after two batches! No, we're not the first company to offer these to the homebrewing market, but we are offering the best price by far. This element will make 5500 watts at 240 volts or approximately 1400 watts on 120 volts. The length of the element from the hex flange to the tip is 14.5 inches. At 5500 watts, the watt density is approximately 120 watts per square inch making it a LWD element. At 120 volts/1400 watts, it's a mere 30 watts per square inch which would be perfect for a RIMS tube application.

The base on this unit stainless steel and will not rust. The threads are standard 1" NPSL like 99% of the elements you'll find out there. Weldless installs such as with our EWL enclosure kits will require a 1.25" hole in your vessel.

Note that this version of foldback element is made in China and highly polished. We offer a U.S. Made version elsewhere on the site that is similar, but it is not as polished and aesthetically pleasing. We offer both to give you the choice.

These elements are NOT OFFSET bent (even though the picture shows an offset) meaning that the package of four tubes is NOT centered on the base making fitment into a RIMS tube less difficult.
IF YOU ARE BUYING THESE TO FIT OUR RIMS TUBES, YOU MUST SELECT "OFFSET BEND FOR RIMS" IN THE DROPDOWN MENU.

It is extremely important that you consult with an electrical professional for advice or wiring help. Under no circumstances should these be used without proper wiring, ground fault circuit protection, over current circuit protection. We are not licensed electricians so we cannot provide wiring advice.
