Product Identity
Rheem SP10552FL is a copper heater element rated for 208/240 V operation. It delivers 1130 W at 208 V and 1500 W at 240 V. The straight-configuration design fits Rheem and Vangaurd equipment. Thread size measures 1 in with 11-1/2 TPI.
Fit & Exclusions
Suits maintenance teams replacing a failed element in compatible Rheem or Vangaurd units where the voltage and wattage match. Not for buyers who need a different wattage rating, a folded or bent configuration, or a non-copper sheath material. Also unsuitable for systems requiring a thread size other than 1 in.
Deciding Specification
The 10-37/64 in element length is the critical dimension that determines whether this part will seat correctly in the tank. Verify this exact length against the original component before ordering. A mismatch means the element will not install or heat properly.
