Air heating elements – 1.5 kW

Lay the old element next to a tape measure before ordering. This one is 46–48 cm long with 80 mm between the legs; if those two figures match what you have, the terminals (M5 thread) and the 22 mm fitting will line up as well.

It is the 1.5 kW size, rated for 230 V, a stainless steel tube of 13.8–13.9 mm formed into an arc. The lower output suits smaller drying cabinets, compact heat guns and domestic-sized electric ovens where a bigger element would overheat the chamber.

Like every air element it must have forced airflow across it — a fan or blower is part of the job, not an option.
