Value Collection KG-1T1-0036-M1 Pipe Plug Immersion Heater

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KG-1T1-0036-M1 is a single-element pipe plug immersion heater designed for direct liquid heating in tanks, vessels, and process systems. It operates on 120 volts, single phase, and delivers 1,000 watts of heating capacity through a stainless steel plug body rated at 87 watts per square inch of element surface area. The 6.375-inch immersion length positions the element inside the fluid for efficient heat transfer. A built-in thermostat is included for temperature control. Plumbers, pipefitters, and industrial maintenance technicians install this type of heater in fluid process lines, storage tanks, and industrial wash systems.

This immersion heater is suited for residential and light commercial tank heating applications where a threaded pipe plug installation is required. The 1-inch NPT plug threads directly into a standard pipe coupling or tank boss fitting, making it compatible with common tank plumbing configurations. It is appropriate for heating water and similarly compatible process fluids. The included thermostat allows basic temperature regulation without a separate external controller, simplifying installation in straightforward single-zone heating setups.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct-fit addition for tanks and vessels with a 1-inch NPT threaded port accepting a standard pipe plug immersion heater.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed plumber or qualified electrician familiar with NEC requirements for electric heating equipment. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power and drain or isolate the tank before removing or installing the heater. Ensure the NPT threads are sealed with appropriate thread sealant rated for the fluid and temperature involved. Verify the supply voltage and circuit capacity match the heater nameplate ratings before energizing.
