This is a very high quality item ! Comes on very fast and is made from versatile components. I am very happy with this product and have installed similar ones that lasted many years in the past. I did this for a living when I was younger and (Rheem) is the best ! Always remember that the higher the wattage of the heating element the less time it has to stay on so it will last a lot longer. This element comes standard in the (Rheem Eclipse) water heater. But I chose it as a conversion for an old (cast Iron Radiator) that I converted over to a (hot water stand alone unit) . Works great !
