Value Collection KW-3-0392-M1 Pipe Plug Immersion Heater

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION KW-3-0392-M1 is a three-element, pipe plug immersion heater built for industrial and commercial fluid heating applications. It operates on a 3-phase, 480-volt power supply and delivers 10,500 watts of heating capacity across three elements rated at 44 watts per square inch. The 28-inch immersion length allows deep insertion into tanks, vessels, or process piping. The plug body and wetted components are constructed from stainless steel, making this unit suitable for environments where corrosion resistance is required. Licensed electricians or industrial maintenance technicians typically handle installation of this class of immersion heater.

This heater is suited for industrial process heating, tank heating, and commercial hot water or fluid systems that require high-wattage, direct-immersion heating. The 2-inch NPT plug connection fits standard threaded ports on tanks and vessels. The three-element design distributes watt density evenly, which helps reduce localized overheating in the fluid being heated. No integrated thermostat is included, so an external temperature control device must be used to regulate operating temperature.

Key Features

• Three heating elements rated at a combined 10,500 watts output
• 44 watts per square inch element watt density
• 28-inch immersion length for deep-tank or vessel applications
• Stainless steel pipe plug construction for corrosion resistance
• 2-inch NPT connection fits standard threaded tank ports
• 3-phase, 480-volt operation for industrial power systems
• No built-in thermostat - requires external temperature control

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct installation unit for industrial tanks, vessels, and process piping systems equipped with a 2-inch NPT threaded port and a 3-phase, 480-volt power supply.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements for industrial heating equipment. De-energize all circuits and verify zero voltage before making any wiring connections. Ensure the fluid level in the tank or vessel covers the full immersion length before energizing the heater, as dry-fire operation will damage the elements. An external thermostat or temperature controller is required and must be selected and wired before the unit is placed in service.
