Rheem Copper Water Heating Element
Heating elements for water heaters come in several configurations and materials. The SP10552GH is a screw-in type element manufactered from copper. Heating elements convert electricity into heat which the element then conducts into the water heater. These elements need to be replaced periodically as build-up from natural occurring elements in your water system will slowly corrode the contacts and the element. Heating elements in water heaters are usually easy to replace. Consult the installation instructions listed in the Technical tab on the product detail page. Additionally there is a video tab which includes an instructional video.
