Threaded copper element for 208 V systems

This Rheem threaded copper element operates at 208 V AC and delivers 3000 W of heating power for compatible water heaters. The straight insert measures 10.59 in long and 0.26 in wide, with a low watt-density LWD rating. A gasket is included for installation.

Replaces 81VP, 82SV and EGSP series elements

The element matches manufacturer part numbers such as 81VP, 82SV30-2, 82SV40, 82VP30-2, A 82SV40-2, CEGSP, EGSP, PE2S40-2, PEP and PROE50. It also cross-references Grainger numbers 3CFG1, 3CFG4 and 6UT09. The upgrade is worthwhile when the existing element has failed or when a low watt-density design is required for longer service life.

Threaded pipe mount fits compatible tanks

The threaded pipe mount installs directly into a matching tank opening without additional adapters. The element runs on 60 Hz supply voltage and is not rated for potable water use. Builders needing a flanged mount or a potable-water approved element should select a different model.

Questions about this item

What thread size and insert length does this Rheem element need to fit my water heater tank?

The element uses a threaded pipe mount with a 10.59 in insert length and 0.26 in width for a standard screw-in opening.

How do I install this 208V 3000W copper element and what step is often missed?

Shut off power and drain the tank, remove the old element, fit the included gasket on the new element, thread it in by hand then tighten, refill completely before restoring power — skipping the full refill burns out the element.

When should I plan to replace this low-watt-density copper element in potable water use?

The element is rated for non-potable water only; in that service expect several years before scale buildup or corrosion requires replacement, but it is not approved for drinking-water heaters.
