EWH-03 Electric Water Heater Tune-Up Kit with Element Wrench, Includes Upper & Lower Heater Thermostat, 2x Heater Elements - 4500W 240V (3500W@208V), 1 x Element Wrench, Water Heater Replacement Parts

All parts fit my 10 year old 50 gal Bradford White electric water heater with no problems. Reasonably easy to install, especially because it includes the tool to unscrew the electrodes. And much cheaper than the OEM Bradford White parts.It has been two months, and the water heater is working wonderfully again.

Great water heater replacement elements

Everything went in just fine after a horrific time taking the old elements out. Ended up drilling a pocket and using a pneumatic impact chisel to get it out.8 months later, breaker started tripping ans had air in system again.Still under warranty so they gave me a full refund within 24 hours. No questions asked. Buying from them again.

Works perfectly

Great value, all parts fit and as described. Beats buying a new water heater!I would buy again

First, skip the kits with the "tool"! It's junk that didn't work. Get a 6 sided 1 1/2" socket and breaker bar or impact driver to remove the elements.The original elements are twice the material (see pic) as the kit ones yet the same wattage rating? Maybe why some people say their hot water runs out sooner? UPDATE: Water seems to get just as hot and lasts just as long as the originals did for me.Next, the thermostats are different sized and mountings as the Bradford White 50 gal WH that they are supposed to fit. They can be made to work but had to extend a wire and screw them to the clip-on original brackets to get some metal to metal contact to the tank that is warned about in the directions.No way I could figure how to "have them flat against the tank" w/o removing the existing brackets and screwing them direct into the tank? I don't think so. See the pic as to how I attached them to the existing brackets. Do-able but not "easy" as claimed. Will update if they don't hold up but now in operation and we'll see.UPDATE: I now added a star for GREAT customer service. Since my original thermostat covers didn't fit the new ones, I'd advise you order the kit with the covers and without the tool. This said I contacted the supplier about it and they replied immediately arranging to swap the covers I need for the tool that didn't work and crediting the difference.Also, I have a theory about the few 1 star complaints as well as the warning about having to locate the backs of the thermostats on the tank itself in the directions. This contact is where the thermostats get their temp info from to know when to turn on and off. If just left floating for example hanging from the wires (as I almost did) they may not turn off at all, over-heat and fail or worse!UPDATE 2: Turns out, as the directions state, you MUST have the backs of the thermostats against the tank so they accurately measure the water temp. Hanging it off the bracket didn't work as shown in 1st pic so I bent the old bracket forward and added the long bolts and nuts to tension the thermostat tight against the tank. For the lower one I managed to force it in behind it's old bracket and all is now well in hot-water-land.

Had an A O Smith that had been used all of 1yr and 2 days... then nothing. Bought this kit, replaced upoper element, but that wasn't the problem. Not a lot of time on my hands so got ticked and just replaced everything: not only do I have hot water again, it's BETTER hot water, faster, longer. These elements are a little bigger, and describing them to a friend that has rental houses (and actually keeps them up, really nice) said it sounds like I may have got a unit that had the wrong elements in it, and that's why we had to adjust water, hotter, when filling it up (we should have been able to run a shower AND take a bath from HWT specs!) It works perfectly now! AND, the included tool is a good one; anyone with experience in water tanks knows there are flimsy tools out there that bend, so you cannot get the elements out, especially if it's a few years old! This tool is solid!!! Zero fear of it bending.

I used this to replace elements on a Richmond 30 gal. water heater. Watched several YouTube videos to learn how to do it and I felt it was straight forward enough. I did need to get some penatrating oil to loosen the old elements up. I also used a 1 1/2 inch socket instead of the included wrench. Bottom line for $40 some odd dollars, and a few hours of draining and replacement, I was able to fix my tank without having to spend $900 for a new one.
