Eastman 120V x 2000W Straight Electric Water Heater Element High Watt Density, Hot Water Heating Element with Copper Sheath, Screw Mount & Gasket, 60124N

The element went out in my 2021 camper and this arrived quickly and I was able to make the switch in minutes. The water is really, really hot.

These are junk! Installed on Friday. Both quit working on Monday. Checked continuity. OPEN! Both of them! Worked fine to start with. NO air in tank when started up. Just full of water. Not first rodeo. Very disappointing! Took back to UPS store as instructed. They lost them and I still ended up paying for them!

Love these. I use them for off grid systems as a load dump.

I used this to make a bucket boiler for cooking shrimp and crawfish boils in a 5 gallon bucket. To get it to fit through the 1" EMT coupling, I had to use a vise to slightly narrow the gap in the element at the end. The only challenge I ran into was that the supplied gasket deformed with even a little pressure applied and I couldn't keep it water tight. I removed the gasket and used a ton of teflon tape on the threads and got it water tight. After hooking up the lamp cord, I used hot melt glue to cover the wire and screws. Using a normal house 120v circuit and water that was 150 degrees out of the tap, it took about a half hour to achieve a solid boil with a half filled bucket.

Fit perfectly in 40 gallon heater. Water gets hot fast. What else do you need.

I used 2 of these in my short 40 gallon 240 volt water heater that had 4500 watt elements. I recently installed a 5000 watt Inverter to use with solar and Lithium battery backup. I tried to figure out how to use the solar to heat my water heater and run several other things with only a 5000 watt inverter and 3 lithium batteries of about 15,000 watt hours. I replaced the 4500 watt with these 1500 watt, and its working just fine. They take longer to heat the water, but that's not been a problem--so far. I hope to add a high efficiency mini split heat pump that the inverter should be able to handle, since I only have 1500 watt elements now, and the other loads are not that great, being 3 small refrigerators, and a freezer, and some other items, such as lights and computer equipment.

DO NOY BUY THESE, I repeat. DO NOT BUY THESE. I ordered 6 of these elements as I do service work and look for good quality parts so I can stand behind my work. it took over 4 weeks after I received these before I could install one. after installing the first one I found out it blew out within 48 hrs of being installed. I was reluctant to try a second but did a few weeks later it also lasted less than 48 hrs. I now tried two of them in my own water heater and both it appears lasted only the initial heat then blew out. 4 out of the 6 lasted no time at all in two different water heaters. Both water heaters are working fine now with regular water heater elements in them. I will not be using the last two elements at all, I have no reason to believe either of them would work any different than the first 4. I am an experienced repair man who has been doing this for over 30 years I have never had an experience like this. Do not buy these.

I have gone through 3 of these so far do not buy !!!!

Failed after 1 year of use. Dissection revealed the internal nickle chromium heating coil burned inside the bend. There appears to be a void in the insulation.

Défectueux au bout d'une semaine.

Easy to change and a perfect replacement.

On first inspection, I noticed some melted plastic around the head of the element on one terminal side. I was desperate so thought I would give it a try hoping it was only a cosmetic issue. It worked well for about a week but again no hot water. Readings from my multimeter suggest there is a break in conductivity. Given my earlier observations, I suspect I was sold a factory second. I will have to drain the system and replace it again. Unfortunately I cannot find a replacement locally so will have to endure the long wait again.
