will the 10 gallon heating rod fit inside a 6 gallon water heater? i would like 2 do that b/c the 10 gallon kit is more powerful by 300 watts.

I read on another site that Atwood 6 Gal only has enough room for small one but Suburban has enough room for 10 gal size

yes it does fit, it heats the water hot and fast. I have been very happy with this product.

The drain plugs are the same size and that where the element fits into. How fast it will heat I do not know. My 6 gal takes around 45 min to be useable. Hope this helps Rob

It should fit, but it would take a looong time. My 6 gallon heats up with propane in about 20-30 minutes, and takes close to 2 hours with this kit, so would probably take about 3 hours with the 10 gallon. Only time I use it is when I'm parked at an rv park where electricity is free, otherwise it's faster and cheaper to use propane.

Not Sure, I have a 10 gallon heater and you have a 16 gallon heater. Go to the Suburban web site and look up the parts list for your heater

That depends on the water heater you're replacing. If its a 10 gal, then get the door that will cover the opening for a 10 gal water heater.

NO, it's not for a 12-gallon. We bought this based on two people answering "yes" to this question. This product is for a 6 gallon water heater. Yes, it will fit on a 12 gallon but it's about half the size of the correct anode and takes much longer to heat the tank. If you're in desperate need of an anode and can't get the right one this will get you by until you can find the right one, but for us it was a waste of money.

Not a problem... I'm using mine in a 6 gallon acrylic tank and I'm very happy with it. Keeps the tank at 75 in a 60 degree room through the winter. I would recommend this heater you wont be sorry.

One gallon tank? This would be seriously too much for that. I'm using it in a 26 gallon tank. There must be smaller and cheaper heaters for small tanks.

It will not fit in the 10 gallon tank. I got a 30 gallon tank and my turtles love the space.

It probably won't even fit, but even if it does it would overheat one gallon before the thermostat could shut it off. A 25 watt heater is really meant for a 5 gallon tank or better (3-5 watts per gallon is the general rule). Small volumes of water usually don't provide enough water circulation for heater thermostats to function properly.

It is not so much the diameter of the rod as the standard plug size in the tank. You will find the the old one will come out very hard, you must use an impact wrench and that will make the job easier. Remember these rods are sacrificial so diameter isn't a problem.

I'm not 100% sure since I've already installed mine in a 10 Gal Suburban Water heater. But here is a description from eBay for this item: Anode Rod, Magnesium, #232767 This 9 1/4" magnesium anode rod screws into the water heater and protects the tank by attracting corrosive elements to itself. The anode rod corrodes instead of your tank. Part number 232767.

If this helps, I'm using my 125 Watt water heater with a 2 gal feeder and it does not cover the entire surface area of the heater platform, leaves about 2" of uncover heater surface all around.

I don't feel that thee is enough difference between 200 watt and 300 watt heater unless the heater were to malfunction. The 300 would in my opinion be better if you live in a colder climate and kept your home heat at a lower temperature

I would say yes - I had mine in a one gallon plastic tank with no problems. FYI - when you change the water, make sure you unplug the heater, even if it's just going to be out of the water for a little bit. It will overheat pretty quickly and quit working. Voice of experience :-(

I used it in a A.O. Smith 66 gallon. Best thing is check the current one and get the dimensions from the parts manual. Of note I used the rod to reduce/eliminate the sulfur smell as we have well water

This size heater is for a soft side, mid fill waterbed that looks like a regular mattress. If you have a wooden framed waterbed (hardside) you'll need a 300 Watt heater. If your existing 300 Watt heater is not doing the job, it is probably defective.

The heater comes with suction cups, so you can place it anyway you want in the tank. It will fit in a 10 gal sideways. The cord (@ the heater end obviously) can be submerged. That's how I have mine.
