About this item

CAMCO 02583SKP – 4500W / 240V WATER HEATER ELEMENT

Screw‑In • Fold‑Back Style • Low Watt Density • Copper Construction

The Camco 02583SKP is a 4500‑watt, 240‑volt screw‑in water heater element designed for electric water heater replacements. Featuring a low‑watt‑density (LWD) fold‑back design, this element helps reduce lime and scale buildup, especially in hard‑water applications, extending service life while maintaining heating efficiency.

Constructed with plated copper tubing, a standard 1" NPSM threaded base, and an included rubber gasket, this element fits most major electric water heater brands manufactured after 1994. The LWD format spreads heat across a larger surface area, lowering the chance of dry‑fire and mineral scorching inside the tank.
