13.5 in Threaded Water Heater Element

This Zoro Select replacement element fits residential and light-commercial tanks that accept a 13.5 inch straight threaded insert. It operates at 240 V AC and draws 4,500 W at 60 Hz for standard electric water heating duties.

Gasket and Mounting Hardware Included

The box supplies the gasket and mounting hardware so the installer does not need to source seals or fasteners separately. This reduces the chance of leaks caused by re-using aged washers or mismatched thread sealant.

Straight Threaded Pipe Mount Installation

The straight threaded pipe mount screws directly into the tank opening with common hand tools. The most common issue is cross-threading the element or over-tightening the gasket which can distort the seal and cause seepage.

Questions about this item

How often will the copper sheath on this 4500 W element need replacement under normal use?

The copper sheath is a permanent part of the element and does not have a scheduled replacement interval; it is replaced only if the element fails or shows scale buildup that cannot be cleaned.

What limits continuous operation of this 240 V 4500 W element first — thermostat cut-out or scale accumulation?

Scale accumulation on the copper sheath typically reduces heat transfer before the thermostat cut-out activates, making it the first practical limit during sustained heating cycles.

How much noise and heat does this 13.5 in threaded element add to the tank during all-day operation?

The element itself runs silently; heat is transferred directly into the water, so tank surface temperature rises only as the stored water reaches the thermostat set point.
