Camco 02923 Water Heater Element, Screw-in, 240-volt, 4500-watt

The Camco 02923 is a screw-in foldback water heater element rated at 4500 watts and 240 volts, engineered for reliable heating performance in residential water heaters. This replacement element is designed to fit most major water heater brands and is particularly suited for areas with problem water, high mineral content, or intermittent water supply where ordinary elements fail prematurely.

Water heater elements endure harsh conditions inside tanks, especially when mineral deposits, lime buildup, and sand accumulation are present. The Camco 02923 features ultra-low watt density construction that helps prevent lime deposits and provides superior resistance to dry firing—a condition that typically destroys standard heating elements. Its high-performance nickel-chromium stainless steel alloy sheath adds strength and durability, allowing the element to heat through mineral and sand buildup that would burn out conventional elements.

Features and Benefits

• Ultra-Low Watt Density: Reduces strain on the element and helps prevent lime deposits from forming, extending element life in mineral-rich water.
• Nickel-Chromium Alloy Construction: Premium stainless steel sheath resists dry firing and withstands harsh tank conditions.
• Broad Compatibility: Screw-in foldback design fits most major water heater brands including American, A.O. Smith, Bradford White, Craftmaster, General Electric, Kenmore, Lochinvar, Maytag, Rheem, Richmond, Ruud, State, and Whirlpool models.
• Resists Lime and Sand Buildup: Handles problem water and mineral deposits that would burn out ordinary heating elements.
