Summary
The Watlow FIREROD cartridge heater revolutionized the heating element industry in 1954 when it was patented as the first swaged cartridge heater. The mechanical procedure of swaging reduces the diameter of the heater by compacting the unit. This directly improves the heat transfer and efficiency of the heater.

FIREDROD Water 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.
- Nickel-chromium resistance wire precisely centered in the unit ensures even, efficient distribution of heat to the sheath
- MgO insulation compacted to the proper density results in high dielectric strength and contributes to faster heat-up
- Alloy 800 sheath resists corrosion from water
- Metallurgically-bonded conductor pins for trouble-free electrical continuity
- 240 and 480VAC voltage allows flexibility in wiring the heater for use in your particular applications
