So I purchased this screw-in camco heating element:

The problem is that I can't get it to fit though my 1" coupling because of all the bends in the element. I was wondering if anyone else ran into this problem and how they got around it. I was thinking about just cutting my coupling in half because it is 1.75" long and maybe that would give me a little more room to work with.

What kind of coupling do you have? Chances are that the element has straight threads, as opposed to tapered.

That element should still fit a 1"NPT if it's a standard build. You can just slice off a few threads worth of coupling for a locknut.

Sweet, I was planing on making a 1/2" slice and seeing if I could snake it through that.
