RX Screw In, Fixed, Rod Element Immersion Heater

Applications
+ –- A cost effective range of immersion heaters intended to heat water in commercial and building service applications.
- Equivalent to certain Santon, Heatrae and Redring* immersions heaters.
*Equivalent is defined as being of similar element watts densities and element sheath materials. Please note that Redring heaters incorporate Incoloy 825 elements. Please see the Howden WR range of Nicalloy 825 element heaters. Nicalloy 825 is equivalent to Incoloy 825.
Please download our product catalogue sheet for further information.
Standard Range
The Howden RX range provides models ranging from 1kW to 15kW in 2″ BSP and 2.25″BSP. Many models are kept in stock.
Typical applications for the standard range include:
