Standard Features
Tubular Elements
Welded or silver soldered into a hex head pipe thread fitting. Elements have 80/20 nickel-chromium resistance coils centered in a heavy gauge metal tube surrounded by magnesium oxide insulation. Through rolling, the magnesium oxide is packed to a rock-like density for rapid heat transfer from the coil to the sheath
Pipe Thread Fittings
Forged brass fittings, silver soldered to the sheath, are furnished as standard with copper sheathed heaters. Steel and stainless steel sheathed elements are welded into fittings of like material.
Enclosures
Available in NEMA 1, 4, 4X, and 7 terminal enclosures
Built-In Thermostats
Provide automatic temperature control without the necessity of installing a separate well for the thermostat bulb in the field and making electrical connections between the heater and control.
Element Spacers
Made from Type 304 stainless steel to maintain a uniform distance between elements, thus preventing hot spots.
Epoxy Seals
A moisture-resistant seal where fluid temperatures do not exceed 250° F.
