Questions about this item

Does my water heater need a threaded opening to install this VANGUARD element?

Yes, this element has a threaded base that screws into a matching threaded port on the tank.

Will this 240V 4500W copper element work if my existing thermostat is rated for a lower wattage?

The thermostat must be rated for at least 4500W at 240V; otherwise it can overheat and fail.
