Backer Ehp 455320 Screw-in Heating Element 2500W 240V

Product Description

The BACKER EHP 455320 is a screw-in electric heating element rated at 2500 watts and 240 volts. Screw-in elements thread directly into a tank or vessel port and are secured with a hex flange, making removal and replacement straightforward for licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians. This element converts electrical energy to heat and is a core component in electric water heaters and similar resistance-heating equipment. It is a direct-replacement part suited for service calls where the original element has failed due to scale buildup, burnout, or corrosion.

The 455320 is intended for residential and light commercial electric water heating applications. Screw-in elements are the most common element style found in standard tank-style electric water heaters. This part is appropriate for routine maintenance cycles and emergency service situations where a technician needs a reliable replacement element to restore hot water quickly.

Key Features

• 2500-watt output for efficient resistance heating
• 240-volt rated for standard residential and light commercial supply

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified electrician. Before servicing, shut off the electrical supply at the breaker and close the cold-water inlet valve, then drain the tank to below the element port to avoid water damage. Use an element wrench of the appropriate size to remove the old element and install the replacement. All electrical work must comply with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes.
