Heating element hole size

[shyanny]

I just wanted to clarify that the hole size for an electric heating element is 1 1/4 inches. The correct hole punch size for this element is the greenlee 1 1/4 inch radio chasis hole punch. The 1 1/4 inch conduit punch is too big. Ask me how I know.

Yes 1-1/4 radio, Just say NO To the conduit punch. I made the mistake

The 1" conduit punch works fine if you can't find a 1-1/4" chassis punch - it makes the hole 1-3/16" - 1/16" larger than the 1-1/4" punch.
