Heating Element 240V · Suits Suburban SW4DEA / SW5EA / SW6DEA Hot Water Systems

Description

Suburban 240V element, 1440W, 6amp, suits SW6DEA, SW5EA and SW4DEA hot water systems. The current longer-style element replaces the original shown in the image captioned 'Superseded Heating Element'.

Disconnect the 240V power supply before removing the element cover. After replacement, fill the water heater tank before switching the element on: even brief operation without water will burn out the element.

Features

• The word 'UP' is shown on the element in 2 places as marked on the white plastic part of the element.
• When the element is installed, it is recommended that this word up is in the UP direction where possible; the reason for this is there is less surface area on the horizontal plane at this point and this will minimise the amount of "scale" that can attach to this element.
• This previously was an issue when the unit was slightly older — it would hum/buzz and can be very noisy at night when trying to sleep.
• Also with this new design, being that the element is longer in total length, this also will lower the noise when in operation due to the heat being more evenly dissipated, though it still has the same heat output. (Should eliminate the noise noted, similar to a kettle when heating.)
• 3 month warranty.
