Camco 7733 Apcom Style Lower Water Heater Thermostat

Product Description

The CAMCO 7733 is an Apcom-style extended shank lower thermostat designed for residential electric water heaters. It features a single-pole configuration with a built-in safety switch that prevents overheating by shutting down the heating element if temperatures exceed safe limits. The thermostat offers an adjustable temperature range of 110 to 160 degrees F, giving technicians precise control over lower-element operation. This is a universal-fit unit intended for the lower thermostat position only and is not interchangeable with the upper thermostat in a dual-element system. Plumbers and water heater service technicians install this part during routine thermostat replacement or after a safety cutout event.

This thermostat is suited for standard residential electric water heater applications where an Apcom-style lower thermostat is specified. Its universal design covers a wide range of domestic tank-style water heaters that use single-pole lower thermostats with an extended shank mounting interface. The exterior temperature control knob allows field adjustment without removing the unit from the heater, making service calls more efficient.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified water heater service technician. Before servicing, disconnect power at the breaker and verify the circuit is de-energized using a non-contact voltage tester. The thermostat mounts at the lower element port and must be seated flush against the tank wall to ensure accurate temperature sensing. Consult local plumbing codes and manufacturer wiring diagrams before completing the installation.
