240 V 500 W Strip Heater

The Tempco CSH00324 is a 240 V strip heater rated at 500 W with an overall length of 8 in. It uses a seamless 304 stainless steel sheath and carries CSA, cURus and NRTL recognition under UL 499 and Canadian Standard C 22.2 No 72. The unit mounts via surface-mount tabs with 1/2 in by 5/16 in slotted holes.

Replacing Lower-Wattage or Worn Elements

This heater replaces older strip elements that no longer deliver the required 500 W at 240 V or that have corroded sheaths. The jump is worth it when the application demands a maximum sheath temperature of 1200 °F and a watt density of 34 W/sq in for consistent heat output.

Build Integration and Mounting

The 7 in mounting dimension and 10-32 screw size let the heater fasten directly to machinery frames or platens. Parallel terminals simplify wiring in single-phase circuits, while the slotted holes allow slight positional adjustment during installation. The recognised safety standards support compliance in regulated equipment builds.

Questions about this item

What are the slotted mounting-hole dimensions on the 8 in strip heater?

The heater has slotted holes 1/2 in long by 5/16 in wide on 7 in mounting centres, accepting 10-32 screws for surface-mount installation.

Which wiring step is most often missed when connecting the parallel terminals?

Installers frequently forget to torque the 10-32 terminal screws to spec after landing both leads on the parallel posts, leaving a loose connection that overheats.

How do I know when the 304 stainless-steel sheath needs replacement?

Replace the unit if the sheath shows discoloration, pitting or deformation after prolonged exposure near the 1,200 °F rating, as these indicate material fatigue.
