 OVERVIEW
Screwplug heaters from WATTCO™ are comprised of hairpin tubular elements that are brazed or welded into a machined pipe thread fitting, which are then screwed directly through a threaded coupling in the tank wall or vessel, or installed in pipe.
Screwplug heaters from WATTCO™ are used for heating gases and liquids in tanks or vessels. These elements are designed to be fully immersed in liquid so that heat transfer will occur at a rapid rate, enabling quick heat up times.
