VTS-Series

Omegalux® field adjustable screw plug immersion heaters can be applied to a variety of clean water and oil applications. The unique versatility of this design allows field adjustment of the rating by simple connections to the six elements of the heater. This simplifies selection and spare parts since each heater may be used in several different heating applications. See the application matrix for the many kW values available with different wiring styles and voltages.
