Screw Plug Immersion Heaters consist of tubular elements welded or brazed into a threaded screw plug which can then be inserted into a threaded opening in a tank wall or through a mating full or half coupling.
Screw Plug Immersion Heaters include one, two or three hair-pin bent tubular element(s) joined to a threaded hex plug. Screwed into tank walls, this UL Listed/CSA Certified direct contact heat source heats liquids, viscous fluids, forced air and gases with maximum energy efficiency. In addition, elements can be bent in many configurations to suit a variety of applications.
Most screw plug heaters come with a thermowell (for temperature control sensors) and a completely wired terminal box for electrical connection. Certain models are available with a patented 360° rotatable screwplug housing to facilitate easy conduit connections. Select from a wide variety of sheath materials. Various element lengths, plug sizes and ratings from 0.5 kW and up, for 120 to 600 volts.
