Options

Single end wiring

Single end wiring permits power leads to be brought into only one end of the unit. Standard units with straight elements must be wired at both ends.

Power Leads

Appropriate power leads come attached to the heating element(s).

Protective Grille

A stainless steel grille section that snaps in to reduce the possibility of personnel or product coming in contact with the heating element.

Hairpin Element

A WATROD hairpin-shaped tubular element provides the convenience of single end wiring and a reduced no-heat area on the non-terminal end.

Liquid Tight Housing

On this style, the hairpin element terminates in a liquid tight housing to permit operating in a hose-down area or exposure to weather. The cast aluminum housing has a 12 inch NPT conduit fitting. The box is 21316 inches x 338 inches x 514 inches including conduit hub.

Quartz Tube Element

Watlow quartz elements provide the advantage of faster heat-up and cool-down—important when encountering frequent line stoppages. A standard 12 inch (13 mm) diameter quartz tube provides strength and long resistance wire life.

How to Order

To order, specify:

Watlow code number (from the Watlow heater's catalog)

Watts/volts

Straight length WATROD round tubular elements come in single or dual styles. The dual style produces twice the wattage of the same length single element. Dual elements can also be jumpered to permit single end wiring and operating at twice the rated voltage up to 480VÅ(ac).
