Product Details

The Rheem-Ruud SP10869MH is an OEM replacement electric water heater heating element designed for reliable, long-life performance in residential and light commercial electric water heaters. Rated at 240V / 4500W and classified as a Low Watt Density (LWD) element, it runs cooler than standard high-watt-density elements, which reduces scale buildup and mineral deposit accumulation for extended service life.

Key Features:

  • Voltage & Wattage: 240V / 4500W primary rating; also operates at 208V / 3380W
  • Watt Density Classification: LWD (Low Watt Density) — reduces scaling and extends element life
  • Construction: Premium stainless steel sheath for corrosion resistance and durability
  • Mounting Type: 1-inch screw-in with NPSM thread (1-9/32" outer diameter, 11-1/2 threads per inch)
  • Configuration: Foldback design maximizes heating surface area within the tank
  • Resistance: Constant 12.8-ohm impedance for stable, consistent heating output
  • Dry-Fire Resistance: Engineered to withstand accidental dry-fire conditions

The SP10869MH installs with standard water heater element tools and is a direct OEM replacement for compatible Rheem and Ruud electric water heater models. Its stainless steel construction and low watt density design make it well-suited for both hard-water and soft-water environments.

Fast delivery. Great prices. Definatly would order from them again.

FedEx shipping was iffy but that's not your fault. Assembly instructions or at least an exploded diagram of all the piece parts of the cover kit would have been helpful.

Ordered on a Monday morning at 10 and on my porch at 11 AM on Tuesday

Great customer service extremely fast shipping thanks

Good price
