No more rusty element bases after two batches! 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 60 watts per square inch making it an ULWD element. At 120 volts/1400 watts, it's a mere 15 watts per square inch.
If you were looking for the Camco 02962 or 02963 that some brewing sites recommend, this is REALLY what you want. This is basically the same element but with the stainless steel screw base which Camco started selling under the part number 02965 in recent years. Keep in mind that our elements are not branded "Camco" but we contract manufacture these with the same U.S.A. factory that makes the elements for them.
This is the lowest watt density element possible that will still fit into a keggle or 15" minimum diameter pot. Due to the zigzag shape, you can wrestle them a little shorter without damage but it's tricky. If your pot is smaller than 15", you may want to go with the 5500 watt straight instead.
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: the manufacturing process causes some heat discoloration on the stainless and they are not polished or visually stunning in any way. While we typically like our equipment to look shiny as possible, this item is more about durability and function.
MADE IN THE USA.
