I've been following many DIY posts regarding installing heating elements and just want some clarification before I place an order...
The base of the element requires a 1.25" hole (step-bit) in a keggle (for example). I picked up a Camco element at HD the other day and did a quick measurement of the base and came up with 1.25", great. What I'm perplexed about is the Stainless Steel Locknuts (straight threaded with groove for o-ring) advertised for heating elements at BargainFittings states that the 1" fits electric water heater threads. Is this correct? Am I missing something????
