RheemSP10552ML Resistored LWD with Screw-In 240-volt/4500-watt Element

Just what I needed and works well, have plenty of hot water now don't run out of hot water half way through a shower... Pretty easy to install, took no time at all to replace the heaters and thermostats.

Worked for my water heater as advertised. Good price, fast shipping. If you don't know what you're doing with electrical wiring, DO NOT DO IT. Call a professional, or someone who does. 240 Volts is nothing to play around with, especially near water.

After some basic troubleshooting, we discovered the upper heating element needed to be replaced. This one did the trick and resolved the issue. It was amazing to see the state of the old one that was removed comparative to the new one. However, the installation was easy after getting the proper removal tool OR having a 1 inch deep well socket available.

I replaced the lower heating element and both thermostats--old one was definitely fried, both by measuring (no continuity) and by appearance. It was TIGHT, I mean--bought a full-on 1.5" socket and I had to lean into it both to turn and to keep in on the thing.I couldn't get the tank to drain completely, so I had water flowing out while I was trying to shove it in and get the threading started. But I finally got it started, tightened it, and pushed as hard as I dared. The gasket is on the outside--don't forget to move in inside where it's between the outer bolt and the heater (duh). Then we cleaned up the water and let it dry out for a while.Hot, hot showers, at 135 degrees. Sweet success, on a 20 year old heater. Enjoy.

Item received and was easy to install, and at a good price.

Product was as described

Got two of these to replace the old ones in my water heater. Water heater was made in 93 and I thought about replacing it but what the hell its just a water tank. Put these guys in and have had steaming hot water ever since.

Water was hot for about 10 minutes, then it turned warm. Pulled the wires from the element and tested the circuit, and confirmed the lower element was dead. Drained the tank, and luckily had the right socket. Pretty straightforward.

Good quality item. Supplied as described and fit perfectly

Edward 🇨🇦I liked that it arrived the next day . No Home Depot , or plumbing supply store rigamoroll order and wait curbside pic up. I did not like that it arrived and element it was not even in the package as you can see in the photo. I was scratching my head on that one....

Very quick shipping and the heating element looks solid - I'm a bit confused though --- it is not shaped as the product photo. Should I bend it to the same shape as shown in the product picture? I just press the wir and bend it? Hope that won't cause some damage...

The units arrived one day early and were a direct replacement as described. No surprises

Worked great just like the original.
