Rheem 1500W 120V Threaded Element
This Rheem water heater element delivers 1500 watts at 120 volts AC. It features a 1-inch NPSM threaded mount and a 7.56-inch copper sheath insert length. The medium watt density design suits standard residential replacement needs.
Copper Sheath Performance Under Load
The copper sheath construction transfers heat efficiently during continuous operation. Medium watt density reduces surface scaling compared to high-density alternatives. This design supports steady temperature maintenance in typical duty cycles.
1-Inch NPSM Thread Compatibility
The element uses a 1-inch NPSM thread pattern for installation. Thread engagement depth depends on the tank boss specification. Verify existing heater port dimensions before purchase to ensure proper fit.

Questions about this item
How much heat does the 1500 W element produce during continuous operation?
The element converts 1500 watts of electrical power directly into heat, so sustained use will raise water temperature steadily until the thermostat cycles it off.
What plumbing fittings must I already have to install this 1" NPSM threaded element?
You need a matching 1" NPSM female port on the tank and a suitable gasket or thread sealant to create a watertight seal.
Will the 7.56 in insert length fit the existing opening on my older water heater?
Measure the tank’s element pocket depth; the 7.56 inch insert requires at least that much clear space plus room for the threads to engage fully.
