Bosch 220-42553-07 Electric Heating Element 6000W 480V

Product Description

The BOSCH 220-42553-07 is an Incoloy electric heating element rated at 6000 watts and 480 volts. Incoloy sheath construction provides resistance to corrosion and high-temperature oxidation, making it well suited for demanding water heating and hydronic applications. This element is installed by licensed plumbers and HVAC technicians during new installations or as a direct replacement when an existing element has failed or lost capacity. The 480-volt rating places this element in commercial and light-industrial equipment rather than standard residential 120- or 240-volt systems.

This heating element is typically found in commercial water heaters, hydronic heating systems, or industrial process heating equipment operating on 480-volt three-phase or single-phase power. It is suited for applications where Incoloy construction is specified to handle hard water, high mineral content, or elevated operating temperatures that would degrade standard copper-sheathed elements. Verify voltage, wattage, and flange or thread configuration against the existing unit before installation.

Key Features

• 6000-watt output for commercial-grade heating capacity
• 480-volt rating for use in commercial and light-industrial systems
• Incoloy sheath resists corrosion, scale, and high-temperature oxidation
• 8-inch element length accommodates common commercial water heater tank configurations
• Direct OEM replacement maintains original equipment performance specifications

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement heating element for commercial electric water heaters and hydronic systems requiring a 480-volt, 6000-watt Incoloy element. Confirm thread type, flange pattern, and physical length against the unit being serviced before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified electrician familiar with 480-volt systems and applicable NEC requirements. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the unit and relieve tank pressure before removing or installing any heating element. Use the correct element wrench to avoid damaging the tank fitting, and inspect the gasket or O-ring seating surface before reinstalling. Do not energize the element until the tank is fully filled with water to prevent dry-fire damage.
