Fits threaded tank immersion heating where you need a Watlow screw-plug heater with WATROD or FIREBAR elements on 1 to 2½ in NPT plugs and wattages up to about 38 kW.

Key advantages

  • Elements — WATROD and FIREBAR on NPT screw plugs
  • Mounting — NPT screw plugs typically 1 to 2½ in (HAN-SSPI-0519)
  • Watt density — Up to 120 W/in² class
  • Wattage — Configured up to ~38 kW class
  • Options — Thermostats, thermowells, thermocouples; enclosure classes

Typical applications

  • Small-to-medium tank heating.
  • Side-arm and circulation heater element packages.
  • OEM equipment with threaded heater ports.

Selection guide

  • Plug size — 1–2½ in NPT vs tank coupling
  • Element — WATROD vs FIREBAR
  • kW / V — Heat duty
  • Sensors / enclosure — Control and environment

Common mistakes

  • Wrong NPT size.
  • Oversizing kW for tank turnover.
  • Dry-fire without liquid cover.

When to RFQ / what to tell us

  1. Fluid, T, NPT size.
  2. kW/V; element; sensors; quantity; ship-to.
