Rheem 208V Threaded Heating Element

This Rheem resistored element is a direct replacement part for electric water heaters. It delivers 3000W at 208V AC through a copper foldback design. The threaded pipe mount allows installation in compatible residential or light-commercial tanks.

Suits owners replacing a failed element in a 208V

Buyers whose heaters run on a different voltage should not use this part. Installers without the tools to remove a threaded element will need alternative hardware. The fixed 3000W output cannot be adjusted for lower or higher demand.

Operating voltage fixed at 208V AC

The element only performs as rated when supplied with 208V. A mismatch will cause incorrect heating or immediate failure. Confirm the heater nameplate shows 208V before purchasing.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the element is heating correctly after installation?

Measure the voltage at the terminals to confirm 208V AC is present, then check that the water temperature rises steadily; the 3000W rating and 11.81 in insert length indicate normal operation when the tank reaches setpoint.

What comes in the box and what must I supply?

The package contains the threaded copper foldback element only; you must provide a compatible threaded port, wiring rated for 3000W at 208V, and any required gasket or sealant.

Which wattage and voltage version should I choose for my heater?

Select the 208V 3000W model when your water heater specifies 208V AC and a 3000W element; the threaded mount and 11.81 in insert length must match the tank opening.
