I remember that I read a thread were there was a link for low density elements for 120v. I've looked and can't seem to find it. I think PJ is the man that found the site. Please help? Crunch time to order.

agezzi said:Just to add I'm looking for 1500w element to add to my current setup. What I have now is a 2000w element with pid. The plan is too use that in conjunction with the new element hooked straight up to just a switch. I will use it to leave on when I boil and use the pid to cycle the other to maintain a proper boil. Money is tight now (closing on my first house) so adding just a element will not break the bank. Will this work for me for now with out problems. Suggestions anyone?
Looking at this site has me confused. The difference between low and high density elements is amount of square inches of surface area is greater in a lower density element at the same wattage. So, why do they show the same dimensions for the high and low 120V / 1500W elements? And even with the bend in the extra low, it looks like there's less surface area.Here you go champ:

I'm just guessing and don't know how these are made, but is it possible that the full length of the element is not used for heating and that the lower density utilizes more of the length available?I know what you mean....the "Low density" element is only .25" longer than the "high density" element...and if you unfold the "ultra low density" one, it'll be the same length too.
