Electric Water Heater Element

New High Quality 100% stainless electric water heater products — a BREWHA exclusive! The quickest, easiest, quietest, and cleanest way to heat hot water whether at home or in commercial applications.

Our premium, 100% stainless steel, low watt density, commercial grade electric immersion water heater heating elements assemblies with accessories from BREWHA are safer, easier to assemble, and better designed than ever before. They can be used as heater replacement for any hot water heating directly installed in a tank or with our accessories assembly can be attached to sanitary ferrules on a tank. The commercial grade electric cables used are high quality SOOW cable and locking extension cable can be added to connect the heaters and accessories to one of our electric brewery power controllers with built in thermostats or used for heating with our economical tabletop power controllers with external thermostat in the electronic digital temperature controller.

Benefits:

1. The commercial grade hot water heating rods are made with Incoloy 800 stainless steel which has the highest anti-corrosion properties and resistance to acidic environments (like beer) and the heaters are offset so they center on the all stainless bushing/plug for easier install.
2. The bushing or plug on our heaters is made of stainless steel, unlike cheaper heaters that use galvanized plugs.
3. The hot water heaters come with a ceramic head (most competitors are made of plastic) which is impervious to heat and the connector contact is embedded in the ceramic (most competitors have the connector contact secured only by the weld to the heating rod), ensuring longevity as it eliminates strain on the heaters rod weld when connecting the wires.
4. The commercial grade cable are highest quality SOOW and the commercial cable connectors from a high quality leading brand.

1500W/120V hot water heaters come with a fixed 6' cable (no extension) and a NEMA 5-15 plug (standard North American wall receptacle). The 2000W/4500W/5500W hot water heaters Complete Heater Assemblies come with an L6-30 plug and extension cable accessories (removable when not in use to prevent a tripping hazard), and the 8650W and 9500W (3 Phase) water heaters Complete Heater Assemblies come with an L15-30 plug and extension cord. The L6-30 plugs fit the BREWHA Tabletop Brewing Controller which you can add, and is temperature thermostat controlled by a separate Electronic Temperature Controller thermostat which you can also add to your cart. Or, for L6-30 plugs tank heating can be alternatively be achieved by the Touchscreen Brewing Power Controllers which are controlled by an in-built touchscreen controller thermostat. The L15-30 (3 phase) plugs fit the commercial BREWHA 7BBL Touchscreen Brewing Controller with built-in thermostat. The 7BBL controller has five heaters output although only 1-5 heaters need to be connected. If only ever heating a tank with one heater, a single output 3 phase touchscreen controller and thermostat is available.

The temperature sensor thermostat accessory product needs to be added to the cart and purchased separately. The sensor is attached to a 1.5" sanitary cap product (connects to a 1.5" sanitary ferrule on your tank) and has either 100mm or 200mm probe. If you tank does not have insulation and the ferrule is standard short length, the 100mm is sufficient to add to your cart. If your tank has insulation or has longer ferrules, the 200mm is recommended for your tank and can be added to the cart. Sanitary temperature sensors thermostat and sensor cable can be added separately to the cart as needed (typically one sensor product per tank and one cable product per controller).

It is recommended to always contact a certified commercial electrician especially for commercial electrical installs and that a GFCI/GFI be added in order to improve electric safety with your heaters.  Read more about electric water heaters safety.

The 8.6kW and 9.5kW 3 phase hot water heaters assemblies come with a 3" Tri-clamp/sanitary connection which connects to a sanitary 3" ferrule on a tank (all other water heater assemblies have a 2" Tri-clamp/sanitary connection which connects to a 2" ferrule on a tank), has a 1.5"NPS thread on the stainless bushing/plug (all other water heater heating elements are 1" NPS), and the heaters Assembly connectors are NEMAL15-30 (all other Assemblies from 1440W heaters to 5500W heaters are L6-30, except the 120V which has a 5-15 plug). These water heaters and electrical components are certified CSA/UL, and are for use with the BREWHA Brewing Power Controllers.

To check hot water heater heating functionality the electric resistance can be measured with an ohm/multimeter. The two formulas you need are: Ohms=Volts/Amps and Amps=Watts/Volts (for  the 9500W three phase heaters the Watts for each rod are 1/3 of total).

Available as a replacement water heater heating elements only, or with accessories added in sanitary assembly with cable whip, or complete accessories added with assembly and extension cord. Water heater heating elements are available in the following outputs and approximate product lengths of the elements can be seen in the image at the right:
