Rated at 208 volts, 7500 watts, single-phase, this element provides direct-immersion heat to the water chamber of commercial steamers. The flange measures 3.5 inches square with mounting bolt hole centers spaced 2.5 inches apart. The element shaft extends 15.5 inches inside the vessel. Termination is via six threaded stud terminals for nut-secured connections, replacing an earlier flag-terminal design. A 3\/8-inch FPT hole is located at the center of the flange, and a 2.5-inch-long by 3\/8-inch ID tube is welded to the side of the element. A compatible gasket (32-1386) is included.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis immersion element is intended for commercial steamer units in foodservice environments.
