Camco 02113 Upper Water Heater Element 4500W 240V

Product Description

The CAMCO 02113 is an upper water heater element rated at 4500 watts and 240 volts. It is a direct replacement component designed to restore heating function in electric residential water heaters. The element mounts in the upper port of the tank, which is responsible for rapid recovery heating at the top of the water column. Plumbers and HVAC technicians install this part during routine water heater service when the existing upper element fails a continuity or resistance test. It is a single-element unit sold individually.

This element is suited for electric storage-tank water heaters in residential applications. It installs in the upper element port, which is the first stage of heating in most dual-element water heater configurations. Technicians typically encounter this replacement during service calls where the water heater produces no hot water or recovers slowly, and testing identifies the upper element as the failed component. Verify your tank's wattage and voltage requirements before ordering to confirm fit.

Key Features

• 4500-watt, 240-volt rating for standard residential electric water heaters
• Upper element configuration for top-port installation
• Single-unit replacement for straightforward one-for-one swap
• Designed as an OEM-style replacement to restore original heating performance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement upper element for residential electric storage-tank water heaters with a 4500-watt, 240-volt upper element configuration. Verify your water heater's wattage, voltage, and element thread size before ordering.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified service technician. Shut off the electrical supply to the water heater at the breaker panel and close the cold-water supply valve before beginning work. Drain the tank sufficiently to expose the upper element port before removal. Follow all applicable local plumbing and electrical codes during installation.
