For Rheem Vanguard systems requiring 480-volt
Maintenance teams servicing Rheem Vanguard equipment rated for 480 volts will use this element. It is not intended for heaters operating at different voltages, for other brands, or for residential water-heating applications. Buyers who need a different voltage rating or a non-Vanguard model should look at other parts.
Voltage rating determines compatibility
The single specification that decides fitment is the 480-volt rating matched to the original Vanguard design. If the equipment nameplate shows a different voltage, this element will not work. No other dimensions or wattage figures are provided in the data.
