THREAD PLUG IMMERSSION HEATER
Thread Plug Immersion Heater
Thread Plug Immersion Heaters are compact and efficient heaters designed with a threaded plug for easy installation into tanks, containers, or process lines. They are suitable for heating small tanks, containers, and liquids, and can be installed horizontally or vertically. Custom configurations are available with thermowells and thermostat controls for accurate temperature regulation.
Thread Plug Immersion Heater
A screw plug immersion heater is a compact and efficient variant of the immersion heater where the mounting flange is replaced by a threaded plug. The hexagonal threaded head has one or more tubular heat sources and screws into the side of the tank, container or processing line using a standard external thread coupling. Heater Dekho Thread Plug Heaters are used to heat liquid within small tanks/containers and are supplied in single phase or three phase power devices. They can be installed in either a horizontal or vertical configuration and can be supplied with a thermowell for temperature sensing or thermostat control.
Heater Dekho is a manufacturer of high quality electric heating elements and engineers each electric heating element to deliver exceptionally consistent, safe and energy efficient methods of delivering heat energy in an industrial atmosphere.

Benefits of Thread Plug Immersion Heaters
- Direct thread mounting eliminates the need for flanges and reduces installation complexity.
- Compact design of screw plug types makes them exceptionally well suited for use in small tanks and vessels.
- Lower material and installation costs than would be associated with flanged immersers.
- Very easy to maintain because of the easy removal of the screw plug on the threaded plug.
- Integrated temperature control eliminates need for separate control panel.
- Seals using ceramic, soft seal or sealant type prevent the entry of moisture.
- High purity magnesium oxide filled heater offers the highest quality electrical insulation and thermal conductivity.
- Resistance wire is formed in a concentric, closely spaced coil configuration around the heated area of the heater to promote consistent heat distribution.
- Very energy efficient with very little heat loss while heating.
- Can be used for both corrosive and non-corrosive fluids. Select right sheath material based on application.
