Element specifications

The Rheem SP10872GH is a copper-sheathed water heater element rated at 208V AC and 2,000 W. It uses a threaded NPSM pipe mount and has an insert length of 6.57 in. This part suits maintenance crews and facility managers replacing a failed element in compatible Rheem equipment.

Watt density and voltage limits

The element belongs to the HWD watt density class and operates only on 208V AC supplies. Running it at a different voltage will change the heat output and can damage the sheath or trip protection devices. No other voltage or wattage ratings apply to this model.

Installation checks

Verify that the existing heater uses a threaded NPSM opening and that the 6.57 in insert length fits the tank depth. Confirm the circuit provides 208V AC and that the wiring and breaker match the 2,000 W load. The element has no listed compatible manufacturer or Grainger part numbers for cross-reference.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 208V 2000W element or a different voltage for my water heater?

Choose the 208V 2000W version only if your heater is rated for 208V AC; using a mismatched voltage will cause incorrect heat output or damage the element.

What does the 2000W rating mean once the element is installed in my heater?

The element converts 2000 watts of electrical power directly into heat, raising the water temperature at a rate determined by the tank volume and starting temperature.

How does the NPSM threaded pipe mount affect installation and sealing?

The NPSM straight threads require a gasket or washer to seal; the 6.57 in insert length must match the tank opening depth so the copper sheath sits fully immersed in water.
