Camco Mfg 2723 Duron Fold Back Water Heater Element 4500W

Product Description

The CAMCO MFG 2723 is a 4500-watt, 240-volt fold back Duron replacement heating element designed for electric water heaters. It measures 9.75 inches in height and installs with a 1-3/8-inch fitting. The element uses a low watt density design rated at 75 or more watts per square inch, which reduces mineral scale buildup compared to standard high-density elements. A replacement gasket and detailed installation instructions are included in the package. This element is intended for licensed plumbers or qualified water heater service technicians working on State Industries manufactured Duron tank water heaters. UL and CSA listed for compliance confidence on commercial and residential jobs.

This element is specifically manufactured for State Industries Duron tank water heaters. The minimum compatible tank diameter is 13 inches. The fold back design allows the element to fit inside tanks where a standard straight element would be too long, making it well suited for low-boy or short water heater configurations. The included gasket simplifies the replacement process and eliminates the need to source a separate seal before beginning the job.
