6000W for 18 bucks. Low watt density.

Is that all stainless?

I wouldn't count on it. Think they'd likely advertise that fact.

[GAM]

Your likely right.

Sandy,
I'm thinking hard about ordering this one https://www.brewhardware.com/product_p/element5500.htm
The only thing holding me back is the threat of extra fees at the border.

[GAM]

Ya, I think thats the one Dave is looking into for me/us.

I'll wait to hear from him. I may have a mule if you order it to his US address he should be back by NYE.

I wouldn't trust these guys. It says in one place low watt density and in another medium watt density.

I've got one in my eKeggle and it's a rocket

Nope, Camco hasn't released the all-stainless ones. And to be clear, the element is not going to be stainless, just the bushing (the end of it). The element is composed of nickel-chromium, I've attached the brochure for the elements.

Give me a couple of weeks and I should have the 4500W and 5500W Camco Ripple ULWD elements. Would you consider a ripple element? The benefit for ripple over the foldback is that the ripple has less watts per inch over the element and therefore an increased lifespan. I'm on the fence about bringing in the foldback.

Are the ripple ones stainless?

Are the ripple ones stainless?

Yes, I'm only going to carry the stainless versions. They are available as 4500W and 5500W in both ripple and foldback. The dimensions are not yet released but the rep explained to me that the ripple are going to provide more life due to the wattage being spread over a longer element. The only advantage of the foldback is that they'll cost a few dollars less and take up less space.

This sounds great Dave, Are you talking mid-late January? I'll hold off on ordering elsewhere if thats the case.
Edit: I would go for a ripple given the option.

At the latest. I expect to hear about pricing and availability today from a Canadian distributor of a different line a products (RV stuff interestingly). While they haven't released the product officially yet, they have a few available from the first run that are ready to go. I just need to coordinate with an establish distributor for the drop ship while I get setup with Camco and talk about becoming a distributor with them. I hope to have them in before the new year.

[Maritimer]

put me down for one please, the timing is perfect!

[GAM]

Awsome.

This element would be good for 110v RIMS and run at about 1500W. Assuming you had a long enough RIMS tube.
