Electric heating element for water heater 1300 W, copper

Where the wiring is old or the circuit is shared, 1300 W is the sensible middle choice: the tank heats a little slower than with a two-kilowatt element, but the load on the line is lighter.

The element tube is copper, which moves heat into the water quickly and keeps the tube itself from overheating. The flange is brass, 62 mm across, with two sensor pockets for the thermostat and a threaded seat for an M4 or M6 anode. Working length is 305 mm.

The same flange is used in Thermex, Ariston, Gorenje, Atlantic, Tesy and Kawai water heaters. Unscrew the old element and lay this one beside it: if the flange diameter and the length match, it fits.
