Selecting an Immersion Heater

Hanging Immersion Heaters for Water

Sized to fit drums, these heaters have a bracket to hook on the side of drums and in bung openings. They quickly and efficiently heat liquid through direct contact. An adjustable thermostat automatically turns the heater on when the temperature drops below the set temperature and off when it rises above the set temperature. Adjust the set temperature with the dial. Heaters are for use in metal containers; they should not be used in plastic containers.

Hang-on heaters have a bracket to hook on the side of containers.

Bung-mount heaters have a bracket to secure them in drum openings.

Stainless steel heating elements have good corrosion resistance.

Note: Immerse the heating element in liquid up to at least the minimum coverage level to prevent heater failure.

Hook these heaters on the side of small drums and pails to quickly and efficiently heat liquid through direct contact. All are for use in metal containers; they should not be used in plastic containers. An adjustable thermostat automatically turns the heater on when the temperature drops below the set temperature and off when it rises above the set temperature. Adjust the set temperature with the dial. The heating element is 316 stainless steel for excellent resistance to harsh chemicals.

Note: Immerse the heating element in liquid up to at least the minimum coverage level to prevent heater failure.

Hanging Immersion Heaters for Coolant

Use the attached bracket to hook these heaters on the side of drums and in bung openings. They quickly and efficiently heat liquid through direct contact. With a lower watt density than heaters for water or chemicals, these heaters can heat coolant without creating hot spots or damaging the heating element. An adjustable thermostat automatically turns the heater on when the temperature drops below the set temperature and off when it rises above the set temperature. Adjust the set temperature with the dial. Heaters are for use in metal containers; they should not be used in plastic containers.

Hang-on heaters have a bracket to hook on the side of containers.

Bung-mount heaters have a bracket to secure them in drum openings.

Stainless steel heating elements have good corrosion resistance.

Note: Immerse the heating element in liquid up to at least the minimum coverage level to prevent heater failure.
