Is the overall length of the heating element 14" or 11"? It's listed both ways. 14" will be too long for where I want to place it in my sump.

14 is the overall length. 11 is the glass enclosed heater element length. I use it in a small pond, completely submerged. Works great for keeping the fish alive!

The 10 ft long one is pretty hard to handle once it gets wet. I think this size would be way too long to put around a water heater. I would try something much smaller. I think even the 5 ft. would be pretty long. There are smaller ones that are just rectangles that I think would work better.

It's about 2in. Sorry I can't do better. It's in use to heat my water supply.

Michelle- Can't Be Much Help; We Purchased it as a Gift and I No Longer have it in My Possession. I Can Tell You That it is a "FANTASTIC" Heater. Guessing, I Would Say it was 6'-8'+ But the Heater Elements Separate and That Would add to the Length. I Highly Recommend it ! By Far the Best Heater We Found in Our Search. Ken / Rocket-J

My tank was closer to about 10 1/2" and the 11" worked. I called them direct to verify. Install took about 5 minutes, had it for about a year w no issues. Hope that helps.

The way that is shown is about 3 inches of coiled wire on each side of the unit so roughly 14 inches overall. It doesn't say that it has to be installed that way so maybe you only install the wire and leave the unit "free" Then you would need about 6 inches.

I have a standard size heater, about 8 ft. tall. I think this is to big for you.

It was a bit longer than my existing one. I had to made some modification to make it fit. It is worth the try considering the price for the whole unit. My unit was 14 years old if yours is newer it might be a perfect match.

I do not think the heater is defective, just not up to the task. My experience is similar to yours - the heater is not adequate beyond a very small space. I might use the word"deceptive" rather than "defective", because the description makes you think it should work fine in 14X14, though it does not.

We use ours with a round bottom wok and it works perfectly. Not sure if it is 14" or not, but it is an excellent burner for a wok.

I am not sure but think 8 in.I returned mine as It warped on the first heat up. May be ok if you have gas.

I used a length of garden hose that threaded on to the unit. It is about 15 feet to the sump drain. Works perfectly.

12 inches. I made mine into a lauter tun using some fittings and stainless steel braid. It works great and was cheaper than a false bottom. There are plenty of directions online for this approach.

The whole surface is flat so it will fit. 14" is too big. 10.25 is the maximum. The burner itself is a bit less than that. If you put a 12" pot on, it would be out to the edges and it would be beyond the burner itself.I think the sales literature is the same for all models so go with the operators manual.

The one I bought is 14 3/4 inches from base to top of arc. Great faucet.---Joey

The heating element is eight inches but you can use a bigger pan like up to eleven. FYI that would work for pots of water for example but not above eight inch if you need to do precise heating for like an omelette. Also the unit is only modestly powered even at highest settings.

Not too long perhaps 12-16". I returned mine because of this. You must be able to mount it directly below the faucet. I had not enough space due to a garbage disposal. It states in their instruction manual YOU ARE NOT TO LENGTHEN THE WATER LINES, ETC.
