Rheem Threaded Foldback Element

This Rheem water heater element uses a threaded pipe mount and a foldback design to fit compatible tanks. It operates at 480V AC with a 6000W rating and carries the HWD watt-density classification. The insert length measures 14.88 in.

480V Supply And HWD Watt Density

The element requires a 480V AC supply, which is not standard in most residential wiring. Its HWD watt-density class means the surface load is higher than low-density designs, so it must remain fully submerged in water to avoid overheating. Installers must verify the tank voltage and wiring before fitting.

14.88 In Insert Length Fit

The 14.88 in insert length determines whether the element reaches the correct depth inside the tank. If the tank port or internal geometry needs a shorter or longer reach, this element will not install correctly. Buyers who need a different insert length should select an alternative part.
