Camco 2723 Fold Back Duron Water Heater Element 4500W 240V

Product Description

The CAMCO 2723 is a 4500-watt, 240-volt fold back Duron replacement heating element designed for residential tank-style water heaters. This low watt density element operates at 75 watts per square inch, which reduces mineral scaling and extends service life compared to standard high-density elements. Rated at 975H, the 2723 ships with a gasket and detailed installation instructions, giving technicians everything needed for a complete service call. Licensed plumbers and water heater service techs are the typical installers for this type of component.

This element is specified for State Industries manufactured Duron tank water heaters and requires a minimum tank diameter of 13 inches for proper fitment. Low watt density elements like this are a common upgrade or direct replacement in hard-water service areas where scale buildup on standard elements shortens equipment life. The included gasket eliminates the need for a separate parts run and helps ensure a leak-free installation on the first attempt.
