Product Description

The CAMCO MFG 4703 is a universal flange-style electric water heater element rated at 4500 watts and 240 volts. Designed as a low watt density replacement element, it operates at 75 or more watts per square inch, which reduces mineral buildup and extends element life compared to standard high-watt-density designs. The element measures 13 inches in height and requires a minimum tank diameter of 13 inches. A gasket is included for a complete installation. Detailed instructions are included in the package. Installation is performed by licensed plumbers or qualified water heater service technicians. This element is UL and CSA listed.

This element is suited for residential electric storage water heaters using a standard flange-mount configuration. It serves as a direct replacement in a wide range of residential tank water heaters across multiple major brands. The universal flange design allows it to fit most models from American, A.O.

Installation Notes

Drain sufficient water from the tank to expose the element before removal. Inspect the tank flange seating surface and use the included gasket to ensure a watertight seal on reinstallation.
