The element is intended for repair and maintenance tasks where original or equivalent heating performance must be reestablished.

Advantages

The element delivers a steady 2.5 kW of electrical heating power suitable for restoring the rated output of oil-filled radiators. It is made to fit as a replacement part in compatible heater housings and supports routine maintenance and repair workflows. Using a dedicated replacement element reduces downtime compared with full-unit replacement and helps maintain predictable heating performance and energy consumption when correctly installed.

Suitable for

How to use

Prior to replacement, disconnect the heater from the power supply and allow the unit to cool completely. Verify compatibility of the element dimensions and electrical rating with the heater model. Remove the heater cover or access panel according to the heater manufacturer's instructions, extract the existing heating cartridge and install the Schneider Electric 2.5 kW element in the same position, securing any mounting clamps or connectors.
