Eagle Gasket and Packing 305436 Immersion Heater 4000W 208V

Product Description

The EAGLE GASKET AND PACKING 305436 is a direct-replacement immersion heater element rated at 4000 watts and 208 volts. Immersion heaters transfer electrical energy directly into the fluid or medium surrounding the element, making them an efficient heat source for water heaters, tanks, and process vessels. This unit is an OEM-replacement component intended for licensed electricians and HVAC or plumbing technicians performing equipment service or retrofit work. At 3.595 pounds, it is a manageable single-technician installation. Key physical dimensions confirm fitment before ordering.

This immersion heater element is suited for residential and light commercial water heating applications where a 208-volt single-phase or three-phase supply is available. It is commonly found in electric water heaters, storage tanks, and similar vessels requiring a screw-in or flange-mount heating element at the 4000-watt rating. Verify the existing element watt density, voltage, and mounting configuration before ordering to ensure a compatible replacement.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements for electric water heating equipment. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power to the appliance before removing the existing element, and drain or isolate the tank or vessel to prevent water discharge during service. Do not energize the element while it is exposed to air; dry-fire damage will destroy the element immediately. Inspect the gasket or O-ring seating surface and replace sealing components as needed to prevent leaks after reassembly.
