Resistive element insulated and wrapped in soft, flexible (fiberglass) jacket. The wrapped section is about 27 inches long and about 3/16" in diameter. Each end has a 4 inch insulated lead, but one end is a single strand solid wire and the other is a seven strand braid. We haven't any idea where the marriage takes place! Anyway, they're rated at 90 watts. Plug 'em into 110 VAC and the thing heats up to the point that it's quite hot to the touch - too hot to hold onto. Wrap it around whatever it is that you need to keep warm and make your own heating systems. Make yourself a coil and you can probably keep your coffee pot hot. Or operate it at 12 volts as a telescope dew chaser. You'll notice some smoke when you plug it in the first time, but this won't happen once it's burned in. Happy heating by Hot Watt. Melanie, Tory, and Donna all want one!

The heating element from a common household iron. Shaped like the base of an iron, 5-3/4" long x 3-3/8" wide, with an open 3-1/4" x 1"center. The element wire is embedded in ceramic, but is still a real fire hazard and will glow red at max temperature. It runs on 120 VAC and has (3) threaded hook-up terminals: the center is neutral, the two sides draw 200 and 400 watts or use both for 600 watts. Surface temperatures: 1250°F with 600 watts (5 amps), 1000°F with 400 watts (3 amps), and 700°F with 200 watts (1.5 amps). For safety's sake, please use it with a heat switch.
