Camco 4500W 240V Screw-in Foldback Water Heater Element | Low Watt Density (02583)

Easy to install and work perfectly

It did the job! I had a crooked repair guy in Plano, TX (At-Ease Plumbing, stay away from them) tell me he couldn't quote a price on the phone then when he arrived the next day, he didn't open the water heater or even bring in a meter or a tool and was telling me it would cost $575 to rebuild my 9 year old water heater or $1400 to replace, or else pay him $69 for the 2 minutes he was there? I threw him out, called another plumber, explained that I was disabled and just needed to get another year out of this. He directed me to buy this part and the tool, and the Camco tool (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006IX896/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_6) and it was under $15! I changed it myself in 30 minutes, taking my time and without draining the tank! There's a video on Youtube how to change the heating element with a full tank. I suggest you watch it and others to get familiar with this fairly simple process. Basically, you stuff a towel under the hole where the element will come out so when you pull the unit out, it catches any water. The tank will "glug" so water does not come pouring out, but in bursts as it glug, glug glugs... not very fast. Probably less than a cup of water is lost when you pull the old one out and put the new one in quickly. The old one will have sediment build up so just pull it out, wiggle, whatever to get it out fast as you can without panicking. Then, the other in and start screwing it back in place. I could do it again in less than 5 minutes, start to finish, and lose less water! Great product! Also, if your water heater is getting power but you have a cold tank, it's usually this element, which fits the top heating element of most water heaters. I hear that AO Smith can be different. Good luck!.

Excellent replacement heating element

To think we almost bought a whole new hot water heater!! All it took was this cheap little part and hot water heater is working like a charm, again!! Well worth the money!

Good fit on my State 50gal water heater. No leaks. Excellent heating.

This saved me from replacing my entire water heater. Mine has 2 elements, turns out the bottom one was bad, replaced it with this and it's still running strong.

It fit perfectly, and it works perfectly. Will it rust out next month? Who knows? For now it earns an easy five stars.

Great product and price. Fit well and good hot water now.

اشتريته من 8 شهور تقريبا , وبعدها تعطل بسبب دخول هواء إلى السخان (وليس عيب بالمنتج) , بشكل عام المنتج جيد جدا ومناسب للإستخدام المنزلي للسخانات المركزية , وسعره منافس وقت التخفيضات

Bueno

Works well

They are as advertised, good quality easy to install and make great hot water!! No problems with leaking seem to be good quality for the money!!

Funciono a la perfección, su forma permitió que quedara de forma perfecta a mi boiler ya que había comprado otra en otra parte y no quedó bien ya que era más larga. La instale hace un mes y sigue calentando a la perfección.
