Immersion Heaters

Screw Plug Heaters


Screw plug immersion heaters are ideal for direct immersion heating of liquids, including all types of oils and heat transfer solutions.

Available in a variety of sizes, Watlow screw plug immersion heaters feature both WATROD round and FIREBAR flat tubular elements.

Heating elements are hairpin bent and either welded or brazed into the screw plug, depending on element sheath and plug material compatibility.

General purpose terminal enclosures are standard with optional moisture resistant, explosion resistant and explosion/moisture resistant enclosures available to meet specific application needs.

Optional thermostats provide convenient process temperature regulation to the screw plug immersion heater.

3"-8" Flange Heaters 


Watlow flanged immersion heaters are easy to install and maintain. Designed for heating liquids and gases in tanks and pressure vessels, ANSI flanged immersion heaters are ideal for applications requiring higher kilowatts.

Watlow flanged immersion heaters are made with WATROD or FIREBAR tubular elements brazed or welded to a flange. Stock flange heaters are equipped with a general purpose terminal enclosure.

Flanged immersion heaters, with FIREBAR elements, also answer the need for liquid immersion applications requiring high kilowatts in small tanks. The FIREBAR element's unique flat surface geometry packs more power in a smaller bundle, with lower watt density, making it especially well-suited for petroleum-based liquid heating applications.

Plate Flange Immersion Heaters


Watlow plate flanged heaters are easy to install and maintain. These flanged heater products are designed for heating heat transfer fluids, medium and lightweight oils and water in tanks and pressure vessels. Plate flanged heaters are ideal for applications requiring low to medium wattage requirements.

Watlow plate flanged heaters are made with WATROD tubular elements that are brazed or welded to the flange. Stock plate flanged heaters are supplied with general purpose or moisture-resistant terminal enclosures.

FIREROD® Immersion Heaters


FIREROD water immersion heaters are ideal for replacing large screw-plug immersion heaters. Because of its compact size the product can be very versatile when designed into a heating system.

These water immersion heaters come complete with a brass 3⁄4 inch National Pipe Thread (NPT) double threaded fitting, which allows you to add conduit boxes. Also, FIREROD immersion heaters are sealed at the lead end with a silicone rubber seal.

Solid copper leads, with silicone rubber sleeves, are provided for unrestricted wiring. These units are recommended for immersion in water or 90+ percent water soluble solutions.
