Element Assembly 480V 2000W 9.56in

This Rheem SP10870GL element assembly is a threaded water-heater element built for 480V AC operation at 2000 W. It uses a stainless-steel sheath and a low-watt-density design with a 9.56 in insert length.

Suited for 480V commercial tanks.

Maintenance teams servicing light-commercial or industrial water heaters rated for 480V AC will find this part matches the required voltage and wattage. Installers working on residential or lower-voltage systems cannot use this element because its rating is fixed at 480V AC.

Threaded NPSM mount with stainless sheath

The single specification that decides fit is the NPSM threaded pipe mount combined with the 9.56 in insert length; the element only seals and sits correctly in openings cut to that thread standard and depth.

Questions about this item

How does the 2,000 W rating affect the element's ability to sustain heat output?

The element is rated at 2,000 W and 480 V AC, delivering continuous power at that level as long as the water heater's thermostat calls for heat and the supply voltage remains stable.

Will the stainless-steel sheath run hotter or make more noise than a copper element during all-day operation?

The stainless-steel sheath resists scale and corrosion, runs silently, and its temperature is governed by the water flow and thermostat, not by the sheath material itself.

Does my water heater need a 480 V three-phase supply and a threaded NPSM port for this element to work?

Yes, the element requires a 480 V AC supply and threads into a standard NPSM threaded port; verify your heater's voltage and port type before installing.
