Rheem Copper Threaded Element

This Rheem water heater element uses a threaded copper design rated for 240 V and 4500 W. It fits residential tanks that accept screw-in heating elements and serves homeowners replacing a failed original part. The HWD watt-density class matches standard replacement requirements for compatible electric water heaters.

Sustained heating performance

Under continuous operation the copper sheath transfers heat directly to the water while the resistive coil maintains the rated 4500 W output. Mineral scale can accumulate on the sheath over time and gradually reduce heat transfer efficiency. The threaded mounting allows straightforward removal for periodic inspection or replacement when recovery slows.
