{"product_id":"12-1463-ac-k","title":"HydroQuip 2.5kW Flange Mounted Heater Element (12-1463-AC-K)","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHydroQuip and Therm Products heater elements:\u003c\/strong\u003e Therm Products is a division of HydroQuip and supplies heating components for spa, hot tub, and hydrotherapy equipment. The line includes flow-through elements, titanium versions, epoxy-encapsulated configurations, and specialty flange and coil designs for servicing compatible heater assemblies. A replacement heating element is chosen by its actual electrical and mechanical specification—not by the brand of the spa alone. Before ordering, compare the original heater part number, power rating, voltage, element shape, mounting hardware, housing dimensions, and terminal arrangement with the replacement. That careful comparison helps avoid ordering an element that looks similar but cannot be installed or operated correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eHydroQuip 2.5kW Flange Mounted Heater Element (12-1463-AC-K)\u003c\/strong\u003e is a 2.5kW replacement component in the \u003cstrong\u003eflange-mounted with attached cord\u003c\/strong\u003e family. The selected power rating represents a 2.5kW output suited only to a compatible controller and heater assembly with that specified rating. Unlike a basic flow-through element, this model uses a flanged mounting arrangement and an attached cord assembly. Inspect the flange shape, mounting pattern, cord connector and cord length, as well as the power rating, to ensure the replacement is appropriate for the existing heater. Its manufacturer reference is \u003cstrong\u003e12-1463-AC-K\u003c\/strong\u003e, which is the most reliable identifier when comparing the listing to service paperwork, a parts diagram, or the original heater assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial and electrical match:\u003c\/strong\u003e The supplied data does not explicitly identify an element alloy for this configuration. Confirm construction and finish against the manufacturer part listing where material is an important replacement consideration. The structured supplier specification lists \u003cstrong\u003e230V\u003c\/strong\u003e, but the supplier headline also references 240V; verify the exact required voltage from the original element and current manufacturer documentation before publication or installation. Heating element replacement involves both the electrical system and a water-containing heater housing. The correct part must be installed with sound seals, suitable water-flow protection, and the mounting hardware required by the original equipment manufacturer. Do not select an element solely because its nominal output matches another product in the HydroQuip catalog.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features and Replacement Considerations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower-rating match:\u003c\/strong\u003e This part is identified as 2.5kW; a 2.5kW output suited only to a compatible controller and heater assembly with that specified rating.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElement form and fit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Flange-mounted element with cord assembly.
