Knox Sales Company 02242 (50/BX) Water Heater Element

Product Description

The KNOX SALES COMPANY 02242 (50/BX) is a screw-in water heater element rated at 240 volts and 1500 watts with a low watt density design. Low watt density elements distribute heat across a larger surface area, reducing scale buildup and extending service life in hard-water applications. This element is a direct replacement component used in residential and light-commercial electric water heaters. Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or electrician during routine maintenance or after element failure diagnosis.

This element is suited for electric storage-tank water heaters requiring a screw-in style replacement at 240 volts and 1500 watts. The low watt density configuration makes it a preferred choice in areas with high mineral content in the water supply, where standard-density elements are prone to accelerated scale accumulation. It is a practical fit for maintenance-focused service calls and high-frequency replacement scenarios given the 50-unit box quantity.

Key Features

• 240-volt, 1500-watt rating for standard residential electric water heater circuits
• Low watt density design reduces scale buildup in hard-water conditions
• Screw-in mounting style for straightforward field replacement
• Sold in a box of 50 units, suitable for service fleets and supply-house stocking

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style screw-in replacement element for residential and light-commercial electric storage-tank water heaters requiring a 240-volt, 1500-watt low watt density element.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or electrician. Always shut off power to the water heater at the breaker panel and close the cold-water supply valve before beginning work. Drain sufficient water from the tank to expose the element before removal. Follow all applicable local codes and the water heater manufacturer's service guidelines when replacing heating elements.
