Details
Our Screw Plug Immersion Heaters offer a compact, cost-effective, and highly efficient solution for heating liquids in smaller vessels. By welding tubular heating elements directly into a threaded plug, these units provide a simple "screw-in" installation that saves space and time.
Perfect for commercial water heaters, small oil tanks, and machinery sumps, these heaters deliver reliable performance where space is limited but heating power is essential.
Key Features & Advantages
- Space-Saving Design
Compact construction allows installation in tight spaces and smaller tanks where a large flange would be impractical.
- Simple Installation
Easily screws into a welded coupling or bung on the tank wall. No complex bolting required—just screw, seal, and connect.
- Versatile Element Configuration
Elements are typically bent into U-shapes or hairpin loops to maximize heating surface area within a short immersion length.
- Corrosion Resistance
Available in a wide range of sheath materials including Copper (for clean water), Stainless Steel (for general use), and Incoloy (for harsh chemicals).
- Built-in Thermostat Options
Many models feature an integrated thermostat pocket, allowing you to mount a sensor directly to the heater for accurate temperature regulation.
- Cost-Effective
An economical choice for low-to-medium power applications (typically up to 20 kW).
