Rheem SP10870JL 3000W 480V Element

This Rheem SP10870JL element assembly delivers 3000W at 480V AC for commercial water heating. It features a 12.4in stainless steel insert with a threaded NPSM pipe mount. The low watt density design suits replacement in compatible Rheem heaters.

Suits maintenance teams replacing a 480V threaded

Facilities needing a different voltage, wattage or flange mounting style should look at other parts. This unit does not fit heaters that require a bolt-on flange or a lower voltage supply.

480V AC operating voltage

The element only operates on a 480V AC circuit; it will not function on standard residential voltages. Verify the heater nameplate matches 480V and 3000W before ordering.

Questions about this item

Will the 12.4 in insert length and NPSM thread fit the existing opening on my current water heater?

The element uses a threaded NPSM mount with a 12.4 in insert; match those dimensions and thread type to your heater's port before installing.

How can I verify the 3000 W element is operating correctly after installation?

Restore power and measure voltage at the terminals to confirm 480 V AC; the element should heat the water steadily without tripping the breaker.

Does the SP10870JL come with a gasket or any sealing hardware, or must I supply those separately?

The box contains the stainless-steel sheath element assembly only; any required gasket, sealant or mounting hardware must be purchased separately.
