Fits compact through-the-wall tank heating where you need a Watlow FIREROD immersion heater with Alloy 800 sheath, up to 300 W/in², and a ¾ in NPT double-threaded fitting.

Key advantages

  • Type — FIREROD cartridge immersion heater, Alloy 800 sheath
  • Watt density — Up to 300 W/in² (46.5 W/cm²); water typically 150–300 W/in²
  • Voltage — 240 / 480 VAC
  • Fitting — ¾ in NPT double-threaded stainless, 1⅜ in (34.9 mm) long
  • Leads — 6 in solid copper pins with silicone boots; silicone-sealed lead end

Typical applications

  • Plastic reclamation tanks.
  • Food preparation and lab equipment.
  • Replacing larger screw-plug heaters in tight spaces.

Selection guide

  • Media — Water / ≥90% water-soluble vs viscous oils (lower W/in²)
  • V / W — 240 vs 480 VAC
  • Mounting — Horizontal through-wall
  • Temperature — Water to 212 °F (100 °C) atmospheric

Common mistakes

  • High watt density in viscous oils.
  • Dry-firing above liquid level.
  • Wrong NPT engagement length.
