2.4 kw Electric Elements

Post by fisherman » Sat Nov 15, 2014 11:16 am

Good Morning Brewers,
I have two electric 2.4 kw elements to replace, my present ones are not very old. They are the Peco brand and where not cheap but they certainly tarnish very easily. Does anyone know where to buy quality 2.4 IEC male electric elements from. I have two fitted to a 70 litre boiler.
Thanks for any replies. :D

I used Backer elements for years. Always very reliable and never rusted. Granted, they are more expensive, but ultimately with anything electrical, and critical, you get what you pay for.
