    Will this element fit a 10 gallon vevor hot water heater

    Answer This Question

    Hi, Steven - We're not quite sure after investigating the Vevor website. 1. This element may be a bit underpowered for your unit as it calls for 1600 to 2000 watts. 2. It appears its single element may be a fold-back design. The element you're considering is a straight element. We suggest you contact Vevor directly at www.vevor.com/support. Thanks.

          On this heating element do we need extra power or voltage regulator
          ByApr 11, 2025
          1 Answer | 
          Answer This Question

          Hi Eric, if you are replacing your electric water heater's heating element(s), be sure to select replacement elements that are the same wattage and voltage as the original. Then you will not have to be concerned with extra power, nor voltage regulators.

            Worked perfectly and fixed my water heater
            I bought this heating element from Home Depot after my hot water heater stopped working. I ended up changing out all the parts, including the heating element, because the old one was corroded and had a lot of buildup. This one fit right in with no issues and fixed the problem. Hot water is back, so I’m happy with it.

              It was about 4 inches shorter than the original 1440 watt one. It fit and is heating the water good.
