I was kind of apprehensive on not using OEM coils, but these were a huge step up. Turns out, the previous owner of my house had put in some extra cheap and undersized elements that were rated for a tank that’s half the size. Here’s some basic tips aside from normal procedure: When removing the elements, assuming you are using these Rheems, or anything alike, forget the flimsy element wrench. Get a 1- 1/2 inch (one and a half inch) socket. Attach it to a breaker bar and a extension. Sounds like over kill but it was absolutely needed. Wouldn’t budge when just using my large socket wrench. When installing the new elements, coat the seal that comes with each element with a light coat of dawn dish soap. This will prevent the seal from getting torn when you tighten them. Just a note, I didn’t use my breaker bar to tighten. I used my large socket wrench for that. And here’s my biggest tip. Assuming you drained the tank(like you should…some people actually yank the elements with water I’m still in the tank, and try to change elements as quickly as possible. You might save a few minutes but you created a huge mess and probably cross threaded your element from rushing) Back to that big tip…when the element are installed and you start to fill up the tank, go crack open your HOT water on as many faucets throughout your house. Do not flip on the breaker to give it power yet!! You’ll notice tons of air coming through your faucets. When it is a steady stream coming out of all of them, you’re good to go. Then flip on the breaker. Just wanted to mention, I had hot water within 40 minutes after installing. Pretty impressive Hope this helps. ## Features - Element - 240V/4500W stainless steel resistored lwd - 1 in screw-in - Watt density classification: lwd, input Voltage (V): 208, Input voltage (V): 240, wattage at 208V (W): 3380 - Element diameter (in.): .316, Element length - Flange to tip (in.): 13.44, mounting Type: threaded, ACTUAL thread size - Outside diameter.): 1-9/32 - Thread type series designation: NPSM, configuration: fold back, nominal thread size - (in.): 1, threads per inch: 11-1/2 ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Material | Stainless Steel | | Voltage | 240 Volts | | Item Length | 13.44 Inches | | Brand | Rheem | | Colour | Black | | Wattage | 4500 Watts | | Item Weight | 408 g | | UPC | 020352193335 | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00020352193335 | | Manufacturer | Rheem | | Country of Origin | USA | | Item model number | SP10869MM | | ASIN | B009AX2USI | ## Product Details - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Voltage:** 240 Volts - **Item Length:** 13.44 Inches - **Brand:** Rheem - **Colour:** Black ## Images ![SP10869MM Screw-In 240-volt by 4500-watt Element, Premium Resistored Stainless Steel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41AHzjEuJqL.jpg) ![SP10869MM Screw-In 240-volt by 4500-watt Element, Premium Resistored Stainless Steel - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Mbhff-E1L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What is the benefit of a "Resistored" Element?** A: Increase tank life , difference metals react and release different elements into water when under heat and stress. **Q: Can you use a resistored element to replace a non-resistored element?** A: Yes **Q: will this element make water hot faster due to the longer rod? We have a 50 gallon tank that gives cold water after several people shower.** A: No the length makes it so the wattage of the element is carried over a larger surface area thus reducing the stress on the metal and reducing burnouts. Think if the element was only 2" long then all 4500w would be concentrated in that small length and overwork the element. The larger surface area will heat the water more efficiently but only slightly faster not really noticeably so, maybe a few minutes. An electric water heater takes roughly 2 hrs to recover while a gas heater takes about 1 hour. A 50gal tank would be good for only 2 conservative showers one after another. The tank would roughly use 20-25 gal every 10 minutes, so two 10 min showers per heated full tank. If you turn the hot water spout down to a lower flow and adjust that with the cold then the water will last longer because the water is leaving the water heater at a slower rate. **Q: Will this work on other brands other than Rheem?** A: GE water heaters are made by Rheem ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by J***E on 16 December 2025* Exactly as described ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by D***N on 3 February 2023* Installed on a 19 year old electric A.O Smith 50 gallon(tall).
