Value Collection MWEG04J0150 Cartridge Heater 500W 120V

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION MWEG04J0150 is an Incoloy high density cartridge heater rated at 500 watts and designed for precise, localized heating in industrial and commercial equipment. Operating at 120 volts, this cartridge heater delivers a watt density of 94.311 watts per square inch, making it well suited for applications that demand efficient heat transfer in a compact form. The heater measures 4.5 inches in overall length with a 0.375 inch diameter. Its Incoloy sheath provides corrosion resistance and durability in demanding thermal environments. Electricians and industrial maintenance technicians are the primary installers of this component.

This cartridge heater is used in a wide range of industrial and commercial heating applications including platens, dies, molds, manifolds, and similar equipment where direct immersion or insertion heating is required. The compact 0.375 inch diameter allows it to fit standard drilled holes in metal tooling and fixtures. The 120 volt rating makes it compatible with standard single-phase power circuits commonly found in manufacturing and process equipment environments.

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or direct insertion cartridge heater for industrial equipment, tooling, dies, molds, and manifolds requiring a 0.375 inch diameter, 4.5 inch length, 120 volt cartridge heating element.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). Disconnect and lock out all power to the equipment before removing or installing the cartridge heater. Ensure the drilled bore is clean and sized correctly to allow full contact between the heater sheath and the surrounding material for proper heat transfer. Do not energize the heater outside of its intended bore or fixture, as operating in open air at this watt density can damage the element.
