Rheem 208V 5000W Water Heater Element
This Rheem SP10867NL element operates at 208V AC and delivers 5000W of heating power for water heating applications. It features a threaded NPSM mount type and an insert length of 19.25 inches. The sheath is constructed from stainless steel for corrosion resistance.
Low Watt Density sustained performance
Classified as low watt density (LWD), this element spreads heat across a larger surface area to reduce scaling and extend service life under continuous operation. The stainless steel sheath resists corrosion during prolonged immersion in heated water. It is designed for steady thermal output rather than rapid cycling.
Threaded NPSM installation constraints
The element requires a compatible NPSM threaded port and a 208V AC power supply rated for 5000W draw. Installations without the correct thread type or voltage will not support this unit. Buyers needing a different voltage, wattage, or flange mount must select an alternative element.
Highlights
- 208V AC operation matches commercial supply
- 5000W output delivers fast heat recovery

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 5000 W element add to the water heater closet during long heating cycles?
The element converts 5000 watts into heat inside the tank; the surrounding space only receives normal standby losses from the heater jacket.
What plumbing fittings and electrical supply must already be in place for this 208 V threaded element?
You need a 1 inch NPSM threaded opening in the tank, a 208 V AC circuit rated for 5000 watts, and appropriate wiring and breaker.
Will the 19.25 inch insert length and NPSM threads fit the older Rheem tank I am keeping?
The element uses a standard 1 inch NPSM thread and a 19.25 inch insert; match those dimensions to your existing tank before installing.
