Raritan Heating Element w/Gasket - Bolt-On Type - 120v

The Raritan Heating Element w/Gasket – Bolt-On Type – 120V (Model WH1A) is a 1250-watt electric water heating element designed for rapid, efficient hot water generation in Raritan marine water heater systems. Operating at 120 volts, this screw-in heating element delivers reliable performance in demanding marine environments where consistent hot water availability is mission-critical.

The WH1A generates 1250 watts of heating output, enabling rapid water temperature rise without oversizing the power draw. The gasket-sealed bolt-on design ensures a watertight connection and simplifies installation in standard Raritan water heater tanks. Critical operational requirement: the tank must be filled with water and the heating element must be fully submerged before power is applied. Operating the element without water in the tank will cause immediate burnout and void functionality. Proper installation prevents corrosion, ensures thermal efficiency, and extends element lifespan in marine applications where saltwater exposure and vibration are constant stress factors.

This heating element is specified for vessel operators, marine technicians, and boat owners relying on Raritan water heating systems. Recreational cruisers, commercial fishing operations, and offshore support vessels depend on reliable hot water for crew comfort and sanitation. The WH1A replacement element is essential maintenance inventory for any operation running Raritan marine plumbing systems, particularly for vessels operating in extended deployments where water heater failure creates operational downtime.

Raritan marine water heaters are industry standard in vessel plumbing systems due to compact design and reliable heating performance. The WH1A element is OEM specification hardware, ensuring compatibility with factory Raritan tank configurations and maintaining system warranties when installed per manufacturer guidelines.
