Eastman 60054 Straight Water Heater Element, 240V x 1500W

The element went out in my 2021 camper and this arrived quickly and I was able to make the switch in minutes. The water is really, really hot.

Fit perfectly in 40 gallon heater. Water gets hot fast. What else do you need.

I bought in September 1 of 2025. 240v High Density 15 inch element. went in fine. Died on New Years Eve 2025. Did not even last 3 months. Don't buy this turkey. Not happy. Many other manufacturers to choose from. I picked a stainless steel unit from another manufacturer for $3 more. Lets see how this one works.

Screws right in and simple to wire

I used this to make a bucket boiler for cooking shrimp and crawfish boils in a 5 gallon bucket. To get it to fit through the 1" EMT coupling, I had to use a vise to slightly narrow the gap in the element at the end. The only challenge I ran into was that the supplied gasket deformed with even a little pressure applied and I couldn't keep it water tight. I removed the gasket and used a ton of teflon tape on the threads and got it water tight. After hooking up the lamp cord, I used hot melt glue to cover the wire and screws. Using a normal house 120v circuit and water that was 150 degrees out of the tap, it took about a half hour to achieve a solid boil with a half filled bucket.

My only complaint is that they don't give any information on its size so I had to hope for the best when I ordered the matching bulkhead.. luckily it all fit

I used 2 of these in my short 40 gallon 240 volt water heater that had 4500 watt elements. I recently installed a 5000 watt Inverter to use with solar and Lithium battery backup. I tried to figure out how to use the solar to heat my water heater and run several other things with only a 5000 watt inverter and 3 lithium batteries of about 15,000 watt hours. I replaced the 4500 watt with these 1500 watt, and its working just fine. They take longer to heat the water, but that's not been a problem--so far. I hope to add a high efficiency mini split heat pump that the inverter should be able to handle, since I only have 1500 watt elements now, and the other loads are not that great, being 3 small refrigerators, and a freezer, and some other items, such as lights and computer equipment.

This is a direct replacement for our water heater at the hunting camp. We always have a replacement on hand just in case. The water there is really hard, but the element usually last 15 years or so. A cheap price for what you get!

Worked as it should, this is my second one as the first one i got failed after10 months of use! possible voltage issue caused the premature failure.

Universal excellent easy installation.

Bought it as a spare, because price was good. Now few weeks ago our water heater in our cabin died, I replaced the element and was happy, was going to buy one or two more of same kind again, and keep them as spare. To my huge surprise after only one week for no reason this element was dead. It was the day when 2 people took a shower, and then turned on the dish washer. Annoying is not only the quality ad durability, but the brutal process of replacing them (drain the water, etc.), takes you almost a whole day. So I decided to buy a more costly one next time, to avoid all that hassle. I think this is my first one start review. Still speechless about the quality...

usually works for six months, I am ok with the price for the duration, we use it 24 hours.
