- The DERNORD 120v 1500w Foldback Water Heater Element has a compact, energy efficient design that is well suited for many applications. The element is folded back to minimize length and maximize the heated surface.It provides uniform heat distribution and offered long performance life, and fits more models of American,for Bradford White, Craftmaster, General Electric and Whirlpool heaters.
NOTE
- If you have a gas hot water heater you may wish to put an electric unit ahead of it. This way the gas heater is always being fed hot water so it does not turn on as often and for shorter periods of time when it does.
- If used as a diversion (dump) load, such an element is connected to the batteries via a charge regulator. When the regulator detects that the batteries are fully charged, it diverts the generated electricity to the element which heats water.

I used it to use my conical fermenter as a boil kettle for a distillation apparatus. This combined with a variac allowed me to control the rate of heating. The distillation proceeded smoothly. The amperage draw was as expected. It requires wiring and care should be taken to use an appropriate power cord.

Needed this for a project and the tri-clamp fitting is what drew my attention. Note that the cable gland is a PG-21. It is too big for any cable I am using on 120V. To achieve a sealed entrance, I used 3/4" x 1/2" reducer bushing and a 3/4" electrical locknut on the inside of the housing. I then bought some 1/2" NPT cable glands to thread into the reducer.

I used this to heat a 20 gallon tank to produce steam for a DIY pasterization tank. It worked fantastically and is holding up well. It takes about an hour to start creating steam but it makes enough steam to heat my pasterizer up to 200 F and keep it there. The element still looks fantastic after many cycles. I will buy this again.

Great element. Fits well, no leaks. I could use a larger wattage, but this product is very well made and worth the price. Mine did come with a screw on, metal cap. The hole in the cap is a little large for the gauge of wire i used (extension cord) so i wrapped with electric tape to snug the fit. Great for brewing or distilling with PID control. Boils my 5 gallon mashes in about an hour. I do recommend

I used this for a DIY all in one brewing setup. You need to make your own enclosure for the electronics. I would HIGHLY recommend connecting the ground line to your triclamp connector for some vague sense of safety as the element does not have a connection on it for that. personally i like this as safety is not my priority. beer is.This is a low watt density heater and I have not had any issues with burnt wort because of it.
