High-wattage 6500W at 240V with a 2″ tri-clamp connection and 64mm ferrule. The foldback heating element provides robust heating for large volumes, with a nylon cable gland joint and locknut for secure PG21 wiring. Suitable for demanding applications such as brewing, distillation, or large-scale processing in commercial settings.
DERNORD 1.5″ 5500W 240V Foldback
Stainless steel tri-clover clamp for 1.5″ piping, with a 5500W, 240V foldback heating element. The design minimizes length while maximizing heated surface area to improve efficiency. It is compatible with standard 1.5″ tri-clamp fittings and supports high-temperature heating in larger vessels or heater-equipped tanks.
Buying Guide
- Voltage and power: Choose a unit that matches your electrical supply and the heating load. Higher wattage at 240V suits large vessels, while 120V models are suitable for smaller setups or tempering tasks.
- Connection size and fit: Confirm the tri-clamp size (1.5″ or 2″) and ferrule dimensions to ensure a proper seal and leak-free operation in your piping system.
- Material and durability: Look for SUS304 stainless steel elements for corrosion resistance and long service life in water or compliant fluids used in brewing, food processing, or beverage production.
- Safety features: Check for grounded plugs, locking connectors, and proper cable gland joints to minimize electrical hazards in wet environments.
- Installation and maintenance: Consider ease of installation, accessibility for inspection, and whether the element can be removed for cleaning or replacement without draining the system.
- Heat distribution and design: Foldback and U-type elements offer different surface areas and heat distribution; select based on vessel geometry and desired heat-up times.
- Compliance and compatibility: Ensure compatibility with your system’s sanitary standards and compatibility with standard American tri-clamp fittings and piping.
When selecting a tri-clamp heating element, assess vessel size, liquid characteristics, and safety requirements. Higher watt densities can heat faster but may impose greater electrical load and require robust wiring. Conversely, lower wattage elements provide steady heating with simpler electrical needs. The right model balances heat output, vessel geometry, and installation practicality for reliable, efficient immersion heating in both home and professional environments.
