  • 6000 W output at 480 V AC single phase for high-power heating
  • Incoloy sheath resists corrosion in water applications

Tempco Cartridge Immersion Heater 480V

This 480V AC single-phase cartridge immersion heater delivers 6,000 watts for direct liquid heating. The Incoloy sheath resists corrosion while the brass screw plug provides a 3/4 inch NPT connection. It suits industrial processes that require controlled water heating.

Verify voltage phase and immersion depth

Confirm your supply is 480V AC single-phase before installation. The tank must allow at least 12-1/2 inches of immersion depth for the 13-1/2 inch overall length. A PTFE flange and epoxy-sealed lead end require compatible fittings and wiring rated for the application.

Steady output at 212 watts per square inch

The 212 W/sq in density maintains consistent heat transfer during continuous operation. The control range reaches 266 degrees Fahrenheit for sustained process temperatures. Incoloy sheath construction supports durability under prolonged thermal cycling in water-based systems.

Questions about this item

Does the heater arrive with the 3/4 in NPT screw plug already fitted, or must I source a separate plug?

The brass screw plug is included with the cartridge immersion heater.

What distinguishes the 6000 W version from lower-wattage models in the same 13-1/2 in length?

The 6000 W rating at 480 V AC single-phase delivers 212 W/sq in watt density, so choose it when the process requires that power level.

With a 266 °F control range and 12-1/2 in minimum immersion depth, what temperature can the water actually reach inside a tank?

The heater can regulate water temperature up to 266 °F provided at least 12-1/2 in of the sheath remains submerged.
