Screw-Plug Heaters
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A Screw Plug Immersion Heater can have from 1 to 3 elements, or blades, either welded or brazed into the screw plug. Screw plug immersion heaters consist of hairpin bent tubular elements brazed or welded into a screw plug and provided with terminal boxes for electrical connections. Screw plug immersion heaters are screwed directly through a threaded opening in a tank wall or through matching pipe coupling, half coupling or welding flange. Sizes of screw plug heaters are available with 1/2", 3/4" 1", 11/4", 2" and 21/2" pipe threads. A wide selection of screw plug sizes, kilowatt ratings, voltages, sheath materials, terminal housings, and thermostats makes these compact heaters ideal for all types of applications. Screw plug immersion heaters are used for heating liquids and gases in a variety of processes. These heaters are ideal for process water heating and freeze protection. All types of oils and heat transfer solutions can also be heated using these compact easily controlled units. The direct immersion method is energy efficient and well suited for many applications.Screw Plug Immersion Heaters Specifications.pdf
