Hanging Immersion Heating Elements for Coolant

Use the attached bracket to hook these heating elements on the side of drums and in bung openings. They quickly and efficiently heat liquid through direct contact. With a lower watt density than heating elements for water or chemicals, these heating elements can heat coolant without creating hot spots or damaging the heating element. An adjustable thermostat automatically turns the heating element 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. Heating elements are for use in metal containers; they should not be used in plastic containers.

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