    Silicon vs Silicone

    We have had an interesting discussion on silicŏn and silicōne. To make a long story short, silicon is an element and silicones are polymers containing silicon and oxygen, and often carbon and hydrogen as well. Silicon, the 14th element in the Periodic Table, is the seventh most common element...

    Water heater element

    I would expect that you burnt out the heating element. You can easily test the thermostat. They should pass current until they get hot and open the circuit. A VOM set on resistance (ohms)or a test light should allow you to test them. Emery Stora > >> Are you talking about the thermostat...

    220 volt water heater element question

    It should definitely NOT take longer for your friends 240 volt heating element to heat his water (May me slightly longer if it’s jutting out 1300 watts rather than 1400 watts) but not 2 hours. I would look for another problem. I suspect his thermostat is bad or there are loose connections on...

    GMC Water Heater Elements

    The original element (at least in my 1977 Kingsley) is a square flange mount with 4 bolts in the corners that bolt to a matching flange on the water heater. A gasket fits between the flanges. More modern heating elements have screw threads. One can purchase an adapter flange which has a...

    GMC Water Heater Elements

    Tom Sorry, but the wattage is 1/4 if you run a 240 volt element on 120 volts. So a 240 volt 4000 watt element running on 120 volts would put out 1000 watts. Emery Stora >> From: Gmclist on behalf of Thomas >> Phipps >> Sent: Saturday, October 13, 2018 20:28 >> To: gmclist >> Subject: Re...

    replacing water heater

    Mac You are missing the point. It is true that a 4000 watt element connected to 240 volts will draw 16.67 amps but this is true only if it is connected to 240 volts -- but in this case if you hook that element up to 120 volts it will draw about 8.3 amps.and produce approximately 1000 watts.

    replacing water heater

    You can find the parts at Home Depot and I even bought a thermostat at Ace Hardware once. The original element is a 1000 watt 120 volts. This draws about 8.3 amps. This is hard to find. You can find a 1500 watt 102 volt at home depot but that draws 12.5 amps. If you use a 4000 watt 240 volts...
