Rheem SP10869PH Screw-In 240-volt by 5500-watt Element, Premium Resistored Stainless Steel,Small

They work great, easy install on my old Kenmore water heater with the breaker upgraded to a sixty amp way beyond the 30 recommend, as well as the wires upgraded on the connections instead of one wire run two in parallel. It helps keep the wires from getting hot. New thermostats as well flushed out heavily this thing gives me near unlimited hot water as a tankless. The green stuff is liquid electric tape to keep moisture off the connections. It did have rust try to form and I thought the elements went bad but was a poor connection from water moisture and rust. Water heater is rusted bad but flushes beautiful and does not leak and in this janky trailer who cares, works amazing.

What's to say? This thing has worked great and was relatively inexpensive. It got our hot water heater working in just a few minutes. It's labeled as a Rheem but it definitely fit perfectly in our 12 year old GE water heater as well.

I bought two. They are working great

Fit great and installed without a problem

Had an emergency with our Rheem water heater we bought in 8/2019. The control panel relay got stuck and overheated the lower heating element. The heating element burnt at the base enough to cause steam to come out so I had to replace it ASAP. Problem was, no local stores had them in stock. Amazon to the rescue. Had it delivered overnight on Prime before this nasty Coronavirus hit us. Installation was straightforward. Just took some time to drain the tank and borrowing the right tool from friends to remove the element. My biggest gripe was that these water heaters are not as robust as the older ones back in the day. I love that the from panel has all the switches in it and Rheem just sent me the panel replacement quickly. But these panels are faulty from what’s I’ve read online. A lot of people are having similar problems with them. So it’s good to know this before buying a Rheem water heater. The element itself is fine. Had no problems with it now the installation.

Great value for the price, Same product you would get if you ordered directly from Rheem. Make sure you also have the right size socket that fits tight on the end of the element nut for easier installation due to very little hand room. The element wants to tilt down inside the unit making it a little difficult in starting the threads. Otherwise easy installation.

Very easy to install and the price was reasonable for both elements.

Good for hot

Works on a 7yr old Kenmore 75-Gallon tank that requires 5500 watt elements. The foldback design is different from the OEM straight design but no issue with functionality. OEM insulation in place was a pain to work around with, in order to extract the old elements. Fair bit of time & work at cramped quarters in the basement. So fingers crossed for longevity of these heating elements.

I got this element for a chicken processing scalding pot, will boil 15 to 20 gallons of water in about 15 to 20 minutes plugged into the clothe dryer’s electrical outlet.

Sa marche bien
