Camco Mfg 7223 Water Heater Element Adapter Kit

Product Description

The CAMCO MFG 7223 is a universal water heater element adapter kit designed to convert screw-in heating elements for use in place of round head, flat, or universal flange elements. The kit provides all the hardware needed to make that conversion in a single package, making it a practical solution for service technicians performing water heater element replacements or upgrades. It includes a 2.5 inch 4-bolt Adapt-A-Flange, a four-hole gasket, a screw-in gasket, a 4.3125 inch thermostat bracket, and eighteen hex washers with locking hardware. Plumbers and water heater service techs keep this kit on hand to handle multiple element configurations without stocking separate adapter components.

This adapter kit is suited for residential and light commercial electric water heater service work. It is most useful when replacing an existing screw-in element on a tank that originally used a flange-style element, or when upgrading element configuration during a tank repair. The complete hardware set reduces the need for multiple trips to the supply house by consolidating the commonly required adapter components into one package. The kit ships in a package quantity of 12, making it a logical stocking item for wholesale supply or service vehicle inventory.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified water heater service technician. Before beginning work, shut off electrical power to the water heater at the breaker and close the cold water supply valve to relieve tank pressure. Ensure the tank is depressurized before removing any element or flange hardware. Follow local plumbing codes and manufacturer guidelines when selecting gasket orientation and torquing flange bolts to prevent leaks at the element port.
