It's an aftermarket universal part, not one made by a water heater brand. Bolt-on elements fix to the tank with a flange and bolts rather than screwing in, so check the mounting style, flange pattern and wattage on your existing element before ordering. Fitting must be done by a licensed electrician.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eNo hot water or only lukewarm water?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn an electric storage water heater, the element sits inside the tank and heats the water, while the thermostat switches it on and off. Elements fail when the sheath splits or burns out, often after years of scale building up around them. Signs include no hot water at all, water that only gets lukewarm, hot water running out much faster than it used to, and a safety switch or breaker that trips when the heater calls for heat. Since a faulty thermostat can cause similar symptoms, an electrician will usually test both before replacing the element.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneric part number 1329XN\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2400W rating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBolt-on flange mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffset style element\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUniversal aftermarket replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"part-specs\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePower\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2400W\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMounting\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBolt-on flange\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStyle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOffset\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLicensed trade job\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHot water elements are hard-wired and sit inside a pressurised tank, so replacement is a job for a licensed electrician, with a licensed plumber where required. Power must be isolated at the switchboard and the tank pressure relieved and drained below the element. Use a sound gasket, match the flange orientation and refill the tank completely before power is restored, then check for leaks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this element suit my water heater?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck the mounting style, flange shape, bolt spacing and wattage on your current element.
