Eastman 60054 Water Heater Element

Be familiar with plumbing and electric

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

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.

I got two ot these 1500w elements to replace my 3500w elements to reduce the load on my Sungold 240v split phase inverter when running on solar and batteries. Gets it done nicely!
