The Camco 02583 is a high-performance 4500W/240V screw-in water heater element designed for residential and commercial applications. Featuring a low watt density (LWD) foldback design, this element spreads heat over a larger surface area to significantly reduce lime and mineral deposit buildup, making it ideal for areas with hard water. The construction includes a durable nickel-plated copper tube and a 1-inch NPSM threaded carbon steel bushing for a secure, leak-proof fit. It is compatible with most major water heater brands, including Rheem, AO Smith, and Bradford White, provided the tank has a minimum diameter of 13 inches.
