Pullin Immersion Heater 3KW 240 V

[tee657]

Hi,

I'm looking to have this replaced because it is tripping the power when I turn it on.

This isn't my photo. I found it via google image search. It is exactly the same as mine though with that label with the name/ address etc.

It must be at least 25 years old. Can you still find these anywhere? Do I need a more exact model/size description.

Thanks

It’s a standard fitting available from many manufacturers but you need to know the length of the element.

I just measured the cylinder and it's roughly 3 foot high and 5 foot in diameter. I can't mange to get my head in to see how long the element in the tank is.

What would you recommend?

looks like it’s side entry bottom cylinder so it will need a full cylinder drain down to change as has bee already said you need to know length of immersion, I would suggest yo get a good plumber in to do the job as more than likely there will be no drain point so will need to be siphoned

And if it’s difficult to undo, you can damage the tank really easily - best left to a pro

Might not be the one you want but will probably look like this. Thermowatt 3kW 14' Incoloy Immersion Heater - https://www.fueltankshop.co.uk/thermowatt-3kw-14-incoloy-immersion-heater/p5448
