Knox Sales Company S215 Water Heater Element 1500W 240V

Product Description

The KNOX SALES COMPANY S215 is a screw-in replacement heating element designed for residential electric water heaters. Rated at 1500 watts and 240 volts, it provides reliable heat transfer to maintain water temperature in standard tank-style water heater applications. The screw-in design allows for straightforward removal and replacement without specialized tooling. This element is typically installed by licensed plumbers or qualified service technicians during routine maintenance or after element failure diagnosis.

The S215 suits residential electric water heater tanks that use a screw-in style element configuration. It is a practical replacement choice for low-wattage applications where a 1500-watt draw is appropriate, such as smaller tank units or supplemental lower-element positions in standard dual-element heaters. Installers should verify tank voltage and element thread pattern before installation.

Key Features

• 1500-watt output for efficient water heating in smaller or low-demand applications
• 240-volt rated for compatibility with standard residential electric water heater circuits
• Screw-in mounting style for tool-accessible removal and installation
• Replacement-grade construction suitable for routine service calls

Compatibility

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

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified technician in accordance with local plumbing codes and the water heater manufacturer instructions. Always shut off electrical power at the breaker and close the cold water supply valve before removing the old element. Drain the tank or lower the water level below the element port before breaking the seal to prevent flooding. Inspect the gasket or O-ring seating surface and replace the seal if any deformation or corrosion is present.
